WordPress: Private Email plugin

By default, WordPress lacks the ability to send emails to registered users. This plugin was created to fill the gap by allowing you to send emails to your blog users.

To prevent abuse this powerful mass mailing functionality is available only to users with Administrator role. This can be changed quite easily if need be, for instance to allow all Editors or greater to use the plugin. Just let me know if you need it, and I’ll modify it for you.

How does this WordPress Private Email plugin work? It’s very simple.

Once activated it adds a new submenu called Write Private Email under the Write menu in the blog management area.

You’ll have to fill in the From field, such as “Catalin Ionescu “, the subject and email body and select the users who should receive the email. Selection is based on their role on your blog. Available roles are: Subscribers, Contributors, Authors, Editors, Administrators and ALL.

Then you press the “Send Email” button and the email gets sent to all registered users who have the selected role in your blog. It also reports back the success rate for each email.

Basic error checking is in place, to prevent common mistakes such as an empty From, Subject or email body.

Simple, powerful and very convenient to use.
