The database issues should be fixed in 1.2

Umm, the schedules do repeat if they’re fired, only not automatically. The event handler (that also sends the email) recreates a new scheduled event each time. I think I did this because somehow I had troubles with the recurring schedule. But I can have a look at it again to see if it’s possible to set it recurring.

There’s a plugin called Cron GUI that shows you what’s in the scheduler’s queue. You may want to have a look to see at least if the scheduled events are being removed which is an indication of whether they’re being triggered or not.

It would very weird if they’re not being triggered. You say that sending mails on request does work so that eliminates the possibility that there’s anything wrong with sending the email.

It’s true, both schedules are non repeating because when they’re triggered I reschedule them. On my site they both work well although I have the (unconfirmed) feeling they don’t trigger at the assigned time but sometimes much later. My theory was that it was a problem of my hosting installation but haven’t looked into it. There’s also the issue of the time zone which I’ve also not fully cleared up, maybe that’s what you’re encountering.

I’m not sure I understood the last statement about the styles.

Unfortunately no, there is no file to style the emails. They are hardcoded together with any style they may use.

I am not not weathered in html/css proper usage so if you have good ideas on how to achieve that I’d like to hear them. I guess you may even submit changes.

I was planning to make the messages configurable, but wasn’t planning to do extensive styling also because my few attempts to get styling of html emails right have failed miserably. So I settled to something that is just about acceptable.

You seem to have quite some insight into this so I am all ears. ??

Hi,

Thanks very much for taking the time to work through the problems and report the issues you’ve found.

The widget was pretty much only used by me until now and I’ve been a bit careless with the changes ?? The problems you report all seem to have to do with my latest changes, where I introduced the name field.

I understand you’ve got the plugin working for you albeit with some limitations. Can you give me a feel of the urgency of these problems for you? Can it wait like until the weekend or so?

How is it I can submit it? By CVS?

Hi David,

I’ve added the feature you requested.
Choose “Use custom path”
Enter a path starting with “/” and it will be interpreted as a path within your site (i.e. your site’s base URL will be prepended to it). Any other path will be considered a full URL to your image.

I’ve barely tested it so bare with any errors you may encounter.

Hi David

I don’t really know whether defining header_image is possible but I’m pretty sure it is. Have you tried simply defining the function in your theme’s functions.php?

I will get down to make the feature you requested but I’ve been quite busy lately so I haven’t been able to do it yet.

Greetz.

Hi David,

There is indeed no such option. The plugin uses get_header_image assuming that that is your site’s logo.

How would you see an option to specify your own image? A field to input an (absolute or relative) url to an image would suffice?

About the digest and newsletter I had to install the WP-Mail-SMTP plugin to make it work on my server, to which I don’t have extensive access. What I’ve noticed in the past is that e-mails may end up in receiver’s spam folder because of a source address mismatch.

I’ve just now seen your post… Apparently I get no notification when a post is placed. I’ve seen the hardcoded path. Sorry for that. I’ll fix it soon.
