What it does
Running a newsletter usually means juggling a separate email service, embed codes and exported subscriber lists. This plugin keeps the whole process on your own site. You collect subscribers through popups, widgets, shortcodes or forms placed inside posts, store them in unlimited lists, and write emails with a drag-and-drop composer and pre-built templates. Opens, clicks and subscriber activity are recorded so you can see how each mailing performed.
It also covers the practical side of sending email responsibly. Double opt-in, privacy checkboxes, one-click unsubscribe and spam protection tools such as CAPTCHA, domain blacklists and Akismet integration help keep your list clean. You can connect an SMTP service, control sending speed, target subscribers by custom fields, location or language, and work with WPML, Polylang or TranslatePress on multilingual sites. Developers can use the REST API, and addons extend it with features such as automated newsletters and WooCommerce integration.
Best for
- Bloggers who want to email new content to readers
- Small businesses running newsletters from their own WordPress site
- Multilingual sites using WPML, Polylang or TranslatePress

Questions about Newsletter
Can I send newsletters through my own SMTP service?
Yes. The plugin is compatible with popular SMTP services, so you can route your mailings through the provider you already use. You can also fine-tune the sending speed to match the limits of your mail server or service.
Does it help with GDPR compliance?
It provides the technical features GDPR calls for, including double opt-in, privacy checkboxes and one-click unsubscribe. The plugin itself does not collect or access your subscriber data, which stays on your own site.
Can WordPress users be added to my newsletter automatically?
Yes. Newsletter integrates with WordPress user registration, so subscriptions can be synced with user accounts. People who register on your site can join your list without filling in a separate signup form.
Does it work with WooCommerce?
WooCommerce integration is available as an addon, alongside other addons such as automated newsletter creation and retargeting reports. The core plugin covers forms, lists, email design, sending and statistics on its own.
Is Newsletter free?
The code of Newsletter is licensed under the GPL, so anyone may use, change and share it. GPL Feast is a paid service: a plan gives you the download and automatic updates. The developer's own support, licence key and online services are not included.
Which version of Newsletter is this?
Version 9.4.7, released Oct 7, 2026. New versions appear here when the developer publishes them, and members get them as automatic updates.
How do I update Newsletter?
Install the free GPL Feast Updater on your site and connect it with your API key. It installs new versions of Newsletter automatically and keeps a backup, so you can roll back.
