Disable HTML Emails content type. Some servers fail send emails with HTML content type: content-type = “text / html”. So here you can disable this feature, if you have problems with sending emails from our plugin.

Newsletter Customizing Settings

Disable CDN usage. By default our plugin is using CDN server to store there part of it’s files – images, javascript and CSS libraries. This was designed in that way to reduce plugin size, make it lighter and easier for usage. But if you need to store all files – on your server – you can disable this option here, then upload plugin CDN files to your own site like described in this article.

Emails per Queue. The best WordPress Newsletter Plugin by Supsystic is sending emails by batches – this is made because of big amount of emails can just stop woking your server. The basic number which is set in our plugin automatically is 80 emails per a hour. Plugin Newsletter settings allow to change it on Settings tab, but it’s a rate which was recommended by Google developers in order not to  be recognized as spammer.

An important point connected with emails number is also the frequency of their sending. Thus Emails Queue check Frequency allows you to choose it.

Supsystic recommends you to set it once an hour (as it is set basically). But remind, that if you choose this option and start your newslettering queue it will start in an hour. So do not expect an immediate result, please. If you want just to test our Newsletter plugin, because you are using it first – choose another option, like every minute, every 10 minutes etc.

Don’t forget to “Save” settings. When everything is ready, press “Start Sending”. Sending will be performed according to the settings made by you earlier.
