change Mail from

@foscolino,

Good evening, this plugin use the standard WP email. This plugin does not send emails, WordPress send emails.

If you want to change the mail from use a SMTP plugin. Before changing the email, you must also send emails with the correct account to prevent spam problems.

You have many SMTP good plugins in the repository.

I’m using the WP Mail SMTP plugin for this, but be aware that if your site is hosted on GoDaddy, they block the ports most SMTP services require. We ended up having to use Outlook. The emails now say they come from our website name, and the email and website domains match, so it helps avoid going into junk mail.

Now, if I could only change the default WP message in the email body!

Sorry I do not understand it:

Now, if I could only change the default WP message in the email body!

I had difficulty with some of the plugin settings and WordPress was still sending the default password reset mail instead of the customized one. The descriptions are vague, or are not worded properly. For example, under Mail Options, Enable mail templates, “If you activate it, a new option in the menu will be created to store and manage mail templates, instead of using only the next one.” “the next one” doesn’t make sense. Perhaps it means “the default one”.

Anyway, I found that in order to use the mail template you can configure in this plugin, I had to deactivate the WordPress automatic email, make sure “Send mail” is checked on the Import settings. Finally, when I imported a user, it sent the template email instead of the WordPress default password reset email. However, that stops the admin new user notification from being sent. But that’s okay because I do get a notification when the user changes the password. I am importing 1,864 users from our old site, so I don’t need 1,864 new user confirmations.

Sorry for my English. I am Spanish and surely I make some mistakes.

Thanks for your suggestion, but default one can be confusing. We want to refer to the email that is shown there, in this tab.

What would you suggest explaining this? The default one can refer to the WordPress default email.

And yes, we have to improve this part to make it easier to use/configure.

No worries, Javier. Thank you for being so quick to respond, and for being open to suggestions. How about changing that label to:

“When checked, a new option in the menu will be created so you can store and manage mail templates, instead of using only the one in the editor below.”

But that begs the question…does this imply that you can create multiple templates? I don’t see any button other than to save the template shown in the editor, nor do I see a way to create and save another. And if you can, how do you control which activity triggers each one? Luckily, I only needed to edit the one that a user receives when I import him, with a link to reset his password, and this one does work for that.

@reneyoung,

You will be able to have different email templates but you can only choose one to be sent.

The one which appears in options.

You can have saved 10 for example, but you should change them every time you do an import if you want to change them.
