FAQ
Is this plugin compatible with the new Block Editor (Gutenberg) in WordPress 5?Yes and no. Most notifications work but full support can’t be guaranteed for all notifications at the moment. Full support is on the roadmap but for the time being, I’d recommend using the Classic Editor plugin with BNFW. What are shortcodes? Where can I use them in this plugin?Shortcodes are text in square brackets that output content of some kind. For example, if you want to add the content of a post to a notification for ‘New Post Published’, you can use the Shortcodes can be used in the ‘Subject’ and ‘Message Body’ of your notifications, except for a select few (due to a restriction in WordPress).
What are some scenarios this plugin could be used for?
The possibilities are endless! Does this plugin work with anti-spam plugins, such as Akismet?Yes! There is an option for suppressing comments marked as SPAM in the plugin settings. Does this plugin and the add-ons work with Multisite?Yes! Full support for WordPress Multisite was added in 1.6.13, alongside the release of the Multisite Add-on. Can users create their own email notifications?Not using BNFW. If you want to let users create their own email notifications/subscriptions/alerts, check out my other plugin: Content Notify. Notifications aren’t coming through!First of all, follow this article about how to find out what might be causing the problem. Additionally, please take a look at this help document to see how you might improve email delivery when using Better Notifications for WP. Many hosts place a limit on the number of emails that can be sent out within an hour so this may also cause some delay in emails arriving. This article has a fairly extensive list of hosts and their corresponding email rate limits that’s worth checking out. Alternatively, please check with your host directly to find out what your limit is. If you’re still having problems, please drop me a line in the Free Support Forums and I’ll do my best to help. Some of my shortcodes aren’t working!It’s possible you’re inserting a shortcode into a notification that cannot use it. For example: the ‘New Category’ email notification cannot use any of the author or time shortcodes as WordPress only stores the category name, category slug and category description in the database by default. It’s also worth checking the spelling and underscores in any shortcodes as well as if they are wrapped in square brackets Other emails from WordPress / other plugins are being messed up!WordPress, by default, sends all emails in Plain Text. If you’d like to include code or use the WYSIWYG editor as part of Better Notifications for WP in your emails, you can change this to HTML using the global setting in Better Notification for WordPress. This can be found under the ‘Notifications > Settings’ screen. Changing this global email format setting will affect how all emails are sent out from WordPress however, so you may experience formatting issues with emails sent out from other plugins if you change the email format setting in this way. If you do, change this setting to Plain Text. You can also set the email format on a per-notification basis when setting-up a new Notification. The caveat is that WordPress will only either allow setting the email format globally (for all emails) or individually for anything that’s non-transactional. Custom Post Type ‘X’ isn’t showing in the list of available custom post typesThis is most likely because it’s Can I translate this plugin?Yes, of course! The plugin is completely translation-friendly and if you send me your .po file, I’ll make sure to include it in the plugin and credit you in the changelog. Reviews
Fantastic plugin!Ben Welch-bolen October 31, 2022 This makes notifications so easy, highly recommended. Easy to Use and Great Supportjpite August 5, 2022 Better Notifications for WP is a very easy to use plugin that does just what it says. And if you have any customizations or questions, support is fast and succinct. Highly recommend. Very Nice!hommealone July 22, 2022 We run a multi-author blog and use this nice plugin to notify multiple admins when any one of us registers a new user, and what their role is. No more need to worry if a hacker added the user account! Had a question about usage, and the plugin author responded to a post in the support forum quickly and with a thorough explanation. I expect I'll find more uses for this handy plugin! Useful PluginRami July 2, 2022 Useful Plugin.. Great plugin!element11 June 29, 2022 This plugin makes managing notifications easy! Great plugin and awesome support o/Niko Vittaniemi June 28, 2022 This plugin is great! I was looking for a way to easily notify the people who have left comments in the blog without installing something like Jetpack or any other tool that requires you to create a whole subscriber list. I just wanted a neat way where the commenteer get's an email when i reply to their comment and they get redirected back to the blog. This plugin did the trick o/ I really liked the clear settings area also where there is also links straight up to the FAQ:s section (Usually Gooogle is used a loooot! :D) I run into a little problem with a permalink situation meanwhile creating the notification but the support was fast and straight to the point. Awsome support also o/ Highly recommend. Contributors & Developers“Customize WordPress Emails and Alerts – Better Notifications for WP” has been translated into 9 locales.
