Newsletters PRO brings subscriber management, newsletter creation and email sending into your WordPress administration area. Use it for occasional updates, newsletters based on posts, or ongoing email communication.

What does PRO change compared with LITE?

The listed LITE edition is capped at one mailing list, 500 subscribers and 1,000 emails per month. PRO removes those listed caps. LITE supports local server and SMTP mail, while PRO also adds API integration with the publisher’s mail service providers.

PRO includes the drag-and-drop newsletter and template builder, reCAPTCHA v3, hCaptcha and Cloudflare Turnstile. LITE is limited to Really Simple CAPTCHA and Google reCAPTCHA v2. PRO also lets you add new custom dynamic fields and includes resend controls for emails and the Manage Subscription Email link. LITE can edit existing custom fields but cannot add new dynamic ones, and does not include those resend controls.

How can you create and send newsletters?

Start with included email and newsletter templates or themes, then use the builder to create newsletters and templates. You can publish a newsletter as a post, send a post as a newsletter, or create emails from the latest posts. Emails can contain one or multiple posts, and can include attachments.

Queue newsletters for scheduled sending, use SMTP authentication, and review complete email history. The plugin supports local server and SMTP mail types, with provider API integration available in PRO.

How do visitors subscribe?

Create subscription forms for use in posts and pages, sidebar widgets or offsite signup pages. The forms builder supports different signup arrangements. Subscriber utilities include import and export, including CSV import and export and Mac OS X vCard import.

Signup protection options include Really Simple CAPTCHA, Google reCAPTCHA v2 and, in PRO, Google reCAPTCHA v3, hCaptcha and Cloudflare Turnstile.

What subscriber and email tools are available?

Review email history and tracking, including link and click tracking, Bitly click tracking, subscriber IP logging and email statistics. Autoresponders handle follow-up messages, while newsletters by conditions let you set rules for sending. Paid subscriptions are supported through PayPal and 2Checkout.

Mail handling includes bounce email management and POP/IMAP bounce handling. Configuration options include DKIM signatures, custom fields, custom post types, and multilingual support through qTranslate and WPML. The extension is compatible with WordPress Multisite and integrates with the Banner Rotator plugin.

Available extensions connect the newsletter system with WooCommerce, Contact Form 7, Gravity Forms, Formidable, Digital Access Pass, s2Member and WP eMember. Other extension options include Google Analytics tracking, embedded pictures, Total Control and Total MS Control.

How do you install PRO?

Install and activate the PRO version in WordPress, then enter its serial key in the plugin. If LITE is already installed, install PRO first; afterward, you can deactivate and delete LITE without losing existing data. Documentation is available for configuration guidance.
