Push Notifications for WordPress

Push Notifications for WP Pro helps WordPress site owners communicate with subscribers through browser and mobile push notifications. It can send alerts automatically when posts are published or updated, while also providing tools for custom campaigns, scheduling, subscriber management, and performance tracking.

The Pro edition adds support for sending push notifications to iOS users, along with unlimited notifications and subscriber segmentation. This makes the plugin suitable for publishers, blogs, communities, and other WordPress sites that want to keep audiences informed without relying only on email or on-website visits.

Campaigns and subscriber targeting

Create custom notifications from the dashboard and personalize the message, link, and audience. Notifications can be broadcast to all subscribers or targeted to specific subscribers where appropriate. With Pro segmentation, visitors can subscribe to notifications for particular categories or authors and receive alerts based on those preferences.

Scheduled notifications allow you to prepare a message in advance and set the time when it should be delivered. Automatic notifications can be controlled for specific post types, helping you decide which publishing activity should trigger an alert.

• Send unlimited push notifications to subscribers.
• Notify followers when posts are published or updated.
• Schedule notifications for a future time.
• Target subscribers by categories or authors.
• Use visitor roles such as Editor, Author, Contributor, or Subscriber when configuring notification delivery.

Subscription and show controls

The notification subscription popup can be configured to fit your website. Control when and where the prompt appears, including selected pages, posts, categories, tags, and other areas. You can tailor its message and style, and add custom CSS to match your site design.

Four predefined notification designs are available. The final appearance can vary according to the user’s device and browser. The add-on works on HTTPS websites with Chrome on desktop and Android, Safari on macOS, Microsoft Edge on desktop and Android, Opera on desktop and Android, and Firefox on desktop and Android.

Reports, tracking, and integrations

Use campaign reports and audience reports to review notification activity. The campaigns list shows sent messages, their status, and click statistics, while the subscribers list includes active and expired subscribers. UTM parameters can be added to notification links to help monitor clicks.

Push notifications can work with or without a PWA setup and are compatible with integrations including Polylang, PeepSo, Gravity Forms, BuddyPress, BuddyBoss, and Fluent Community. A global function, pn_send_push_notification_filter, can be used to send notifications from elsewhere, and the [pn_campaigns] shortcode displays a campaign list on the frontend.

Installation and configuration

After activating the plugin, open Push Notification Options in the WordPress dashboard. Follow the setup steps to connect your API and configure preferences such as automatic delivery, subscription visibility, designs, targeting, and scheduling. Once configured, automatic notifications can be sent when supported posts are published or updated.
