Version 1.7.3
Latest
- ImprovedOptionally show the list of the post ordered by modified date on single post block configuration
What it does
The standard Newsletter composer covers the basics, but many campaigns need more variety than a heading and a paragraph. This extension expands the composer with more than 25 customizable content blocks. You drag a block into your email, configure it and move on to the next one. Post blocks can pull in your blog content, and the single post block can optionally list posts ordered by modified date, which helps when you want to feature recently revised articles.
It fits sites that already use Newsletter and want richer emails without writing templates by hand. A real-time preview shows how each design looks on desktops, tablets and smartphones while you work. Store owners can drop WooCommerce products into an email, bloggers can feature recent posts, and anyone comfortable with code can add an HTML snippet for custom layouts. The broader Newsletter setup also covers scheduling, autoresponders, subscriber lists and campaign reports.
Best for
- WordPress sites already running the Newsletter plugin
- WooCommerce stores that email product updates
- Bloggers sending regular post roundups
