Please follow these steps to configure a full-automatic Newsletter for your page.

  1. Go to Settings->General Settings:
  • Choose a delivering adress.
  • Choose a subject.
  • Be sure to disable automatic sending for now (checkbox checked!).
  • Choose a default frequency. That's how often the newsletter is sent to subscribers.
  • Choose a send day.
  1. Go to Settings->Sending:
  • Decide how much emails shall be send on every page load.
  • Decide how much emails shall be send in per hour.
  1. Go to Plugins:
  • Be sure to check Only items posted after last newsletter!
  • Now choose your plugins for the newsletter. Take a look at Number of items, Treat and Truncate:
    • Number of items Example: EZComments: If you insert 5, than at most five comments are added to the newsletter.
    • Treat:
      • As it is: This will take the content as it is.
      • nl2br: This will convert \n to <br />. This is neccassary if you don't use an editor like Scribite and want line breaks.
      • strip_tags: This will remove all html tags.
      • strip_tags except <img>, <a>: This will remove all html tags except <img> and <a>.
    • Truncate Example: EZComments: If you insert 200, than each comment will be truncated after 200 chars.
  1. Go to Settings->General Settings:
  • Enable automatic sending.
