The newsletter plugin has the social media icons already, just give it the full URL for each one. When you add the social media block to the footer, it will be presented automatically.

Make sure to use the complete URL to that social media page, not just your account name.

this is a long-requested and long-awaited feature. Thanks to the development team for this simple, necessary feature.

settings –> advanced –> Stop sending to inactive subscribers

This was a problem for many and the exact instructions were posted here some time ago. It would be helpful if tech support offered that instruction specifically.

Try EventCalendarNewsletter plug in. It converts your events into html, (or you can just insert a short code) to display your events in newsletters automatically.

Create an email with the settings you like, choice of list, etc. duplicate it to make a new one with the same settings.

Agree, Word is a horrible solution for any content creator. It just causes problems. I use a simple text editor – BBEdit myself. Let WordPress and the Plugin do the formatting for you. It’s not bad really.

Tom, sorry you’re not getting the desired settings. Personally, I run the other way when it comes to the screwy formatting of Word. Yikes. It’s horrible. It’s the worst. Forget the fonts and formatting. It does not translate outside Word.

no, it’s not that type of plugin. Use MailGun, SparkPost, SendGrid, Elastic Mail, Amazon SES, or similar services for transactional mail service.

I could not agree more. You’re exactly right in your assessment. And yet, they just don’t care. Removing basic features in an upgrade is beyond the pale of reason and decency, acceptable practices and basic fairness to the user.

Yes, I upgraded to pro version of Event Calendar Newsletter for some sites. It’s a great time saver. I create small custom html to format the events my way.

Yes, drag and drop a single or multiple posts in Newsletter plugin.

We will look into Mailster. We run many dozens of sites, mostly for small companies and non-profits. Some mailing lists are quite small and the simple, free solutions work well. Mail Poet offers basic service for free and charges a premium for more useful features such as auto-respond and statistics. Newsletter has no limits on subscribers, which is a key point for lists that exceed the minimums. The premium upgrade features for Newsletter are well design, and offer good value. There are no simple answers to the right combination of components for each particular use. It takes a bit of research to match features, prices and appropriate technology. We also use MailGun transactional service through rack space which provides the first 100k messages per month free. For our clients that are calendar based, an excellent plug-in automatically formats all events into the newsletters: Event Calendar Newsletter.

Further, we have used numerous email solutions and newsletter is pretty good. The simple one is MailPoet, easy to use.

I receive emails of support answers and questions, but have not scoured the web site for unanswered tech questions, so I have not reference to your suggestion.
