Newsletter Wp Users Pro v1.0.5

Newsletter Wp Users Pro GPL Overview

This free add-on for the Newsletter plugin links the standard user registration flow to the subscription process.

You can select between two main working modes:

1. offer the subscription in the registration form (possibly pre-checked)
2. force the subscription to your newsletter to every newly registered user

Custom registration forms

There are many themes and plugins which offer a custom registration form. This addon works correctly even with those custom registration solutions IF they follow the standard WordPress convention of firing the user_register event.

If you need to check the compatibility of your plugin with this addon ask the plugin author if they follow the WordPress convention (most of the time if they use the provided WordPress functions to register the user, the answer is “yes”).

The subscription flow

The addon offers few configurations to customize the subscription and confirmation flows. In order to provider a “friction less” subscription experience, with the default configuration, the subscription follows those steps:

1. on registration a subscriber is created with status “to be confirmed”
2. on first login, the subscriber is set as confirmed

No confirmation request is sent, since the login is a proof of the email ownership.

That simplified process can be changed enabling anyway the confirmation email, useful for blogs where the subscription does not follow an immediate login. Even the welcome email is by default suppressed but can be enabled, for example, if there are not predefined welcome emails provided by other plugins after the registration.

Data update while sending

With this addon installed, when a newsletter is sent, before using the subscriber’s data (email, first name, last name, …), the subscriber is processed by this integration, and those fields updated taking the values from WordPress user data.

There is not alignment process, so you may experiences subscribers with the “wrong” first name when linked to a WordPress user, but the correct first name is used on sending.

We have plans to update that.
