E-mail new post

  • Hi,

    I searched the wordpress database but I can’t find the right plugin for the following issue.

    I have some friends I want to e-mail when I place my post. But not all my friends, I want to choose them when I create my post (like categories) by checkboxes. When I place the post my friends (with the checkmarks) should recive a message.

    Does anybody knows if there is a plugin for?

    Thanks in advance.

  • I didn’t find a plugin that does exactly what you are looking for so I threw a quick one together. Just download the file, toss it in your wp-content/plugins folder, activate it.

    It is a first attempt. If you try it let me know if you find any problems.

    I just tried your plugin. But i don’t recieve the e-mails after I setup a test user with my own email adress.

    The plugin is not totally what I mean. Because now my friends are becomming users of the website. ??

    The plugin uses the wp_mail function. I was able to successfully receive an email when I just tested it now. If you create a user do you get an email Notification? Are you on a local install?

    Sorry, misunderstood. I thought your friends would be users. It can easily be set to accept an email address or set of addresses to send to. I’ll create an example of that a little later today.

    Ey Nate,

    your plugin does work! I tried it the firsttime on local server. Sorry! Can’t wait to try the new example! ??

    Updated to add a text field to add manual email addresses.

    hello Nate, nice job! ??

    first time I got an warning that I entered a wrong email address. But it was my mistake, I added a space after the comma ??

    If i may make one suggestion. It would be great to combine the users / e-mail field. In other words: an optionpanel for the plugin, where I can add the emails and give the email a name. And when I post a message I can check the name in userspart. Because now I don’t have to remember the e-mail adresses. ??

    Interesting idea. Not sure I will get around to that in the near future, but for now you can create your friends as users and leave their access to subscriber only. No need to send them a new user notification. WIth them added as users you can now use the side users panel to select their name and send an email.
