Applies a responsive, customizable, optimized HTML email template to every email sent from your WordPress site including plugin generated emails. 2. Gets your beautiful / professional emails delivered. Easily Configure advanced email sending providers with any of these supported providers * SMTP via your server * Gmail SMTP * Mandrill (API or SMTP) * SparkPost (HTTP API or SMTP API) #### EMAIL TEMPLATE The plugin applies a HTML template to email sent from your WordPress site. The Template is optimized to show your HTML emails perfectly in the10 most popular email browsers. * Apple iOS Devices * MS Outlook * Hotmail * Apple Mail * Yahoo! Mail * Google Gmail * Android Devices * Windows Live Desktop * Mozilla Thunderbird #### TEMPLATE EDIT OPTIONS * Option to Turn the Template ON | OFF. OFF to just use the plugin use to set up wp email sender without using the template (see below). * Dynamic Template Width – admin can edit the 600px default width of the Template. * Template Background colour selector * Background Pattern ON | OFF setting. * Upload and position Email Template Header image * Header Image container background, border, and padding settings. * Footer – add email template custom footer content via the WordPress editor. * Follow us on – add links to social media site where users can follow you. * Many more dynamic style options available in the Pro version. #### EMAIL SENDING OPTIONS The biggest issue users have are: * Email Spammers make successful email delivery a very complicated and specialized function. * WordPress by default uses your web hosts local mail server to send all WordPress and plugin generated emails. * Emails sent from a web host local mail server have poor delivery rates because they have very little or no reputation. * Configuring any type of email delivery provider will improve email delivery rates. Every different Email Provider requires another plugin to configure. For example here are just a few of the available choices. * Send Email via SMTP – [WP SMTP Mail](http://https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-mail-smtp/), [WP SMPT](https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-smtp/), [Easy WP SMTP](https://wordpress.org/plugins/easy-wp-smtp/) * Send Email via Gmail SMTP – [SendPress Lite](https://wordpress.org/plugins/sendpress/) and any SMTP plugin if you know what you are doing. * Send Email via Mandrill – [wpMandrill](https://wordpress.org/plugins/wpmandrill/) * Send Email via SparkPost – [SparkPost](https://wordpress.org/plugins/sparkpost/) * Send via WordPress default ‘local mail server’ if using GoDaddy Hosting – Auto Config WordPress default Email Sending – [SendPress Lite](https://wordpress.org/plugins/sendpress/) At a3rev we want users to be able to 1. Create a Beautiful / Professional HTML Email template. 2. Auto apply that template to all emails sent from WordPress and installed plugins. 3. Easily configure a sending provider to get those emails delivered. 4. Do it all with one plugin, quickly and easily. That is why we have added the Email Sending Provider Configuration Options so you can do all of that with just one plugin – WP Email Template. #### EMAIL FROM PLUGINS WP Email Template will not work with any plugin that: 1. Applies it’s own HTML Email Template (WP Email Template is still applied but the 2 together will look bad). 2. Send it’s emails via the php() function. WP Email Template is applied to all mail that goes through wp_mail() Some of the better known plugins of the 1,000’s of plugins that WP Email Template works beautifully with. * Gravity Forms – see the screen shots – looks sensational with the default Gravity style. * Contact Form 7 – see the screenshots * Formidable Forms – both Lite and Pro Versions of that plugin * WooCommerce – Version 2.3.9 and backward compatible to version 2.1.0. By default the plugin ignores WooCommerce email output – but you can choose to apply your WordPress Email Template to all Woocomerce emails to give you consistent branding across your entire site. * WP e-Commerce – applies the template to every store generated email to customers and admins * WP Mail SMPT – WP Email Template does not interfere with the way any WordPress or any plugin handles email output – it just applies the template to any output content. * BackupBuddy – I love it when even my admin emails are branded – see the screenshots * Wordfence – Branded security emails – nice. #### PREMIUM VERSION For those who want more advanced features there is a Premium version.

It’s quite useful to offer a depreciation notice or fallback when plugin changes like this go through, but in this case I assume the plugin developer only really cares about selling licences rather than maintaining a well supported plugin. Rather spoon my eyes out than see this plugin in any of my future systems. ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/2fbc6f568e5cc6f8ca31c847633d038855336f9c2154e74e01389aa730d07090? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Doesn’t format properly](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/doesnt-format-properly/)󠁿 [Darryl Erentzen](https://profiles.wordpress.org/erentzenco/) June 16, 2020 I’m attempting to use this plugin, but the HTML emails show up in google with a super-wide format and broken tags. Thinking that maybe the pro version’s “Premium Styles” functionality would solve this issue, I foolishly bought a 5-site license. In order to finish the upgrade, you’re required to install “a3 Dashboard” and link it to your account on the a3 website. Unfortunately, linking doesn’t work – their dashboard won’t recognize my account – so I’m stuck with a non-functional plugin, and an upgrade I’ve paid for but can’t use. I put a ticket into their support system 4 days ago and have yet to hear back from them. Garbage plugin. Use something else. I wish I could go lower than 1 star. ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/8ca64bc96e922e0011100ceacca18dadcc618e207265e62006478ef417819bef? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Lite = demo](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/lite-demo/)󠁿 [akigleo](https://profiles.wordpress.org/akigleo/) January 25, 2018 Lite version is not OK for using. This is like demo. ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/c2e056d27e9be4947f09dddf50a74614eb3b6cfae590d06c943a90b99f935f89? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Don’t west your time](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/dont-west-your-time/)󠁿 [Husain Ahmed](https://profiles.wordpress.org/husainahmedqureshi/) February 7, 2017 There are no any free functionality are available here. if you want to use free version of this plugin please don’t west your time. ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/bd60aaf5b82dc3fe5b4661dbaa8979eb6a9e1d0453d293c4accbd56a9922b058? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Terrible interface](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/terrible-interface/)󠁿 [pcoitinho](https://profiles.wordpress.org/pcoitinho/) November 24, 2016 Seems to work fine, but the interface makes it unusable. ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/7debc276c99b3adc9b4ff4802a89f6fe61e6ae8f7930fd71005a00787bf83173? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Free version intentionally programmed to wreck your emails](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/free-version-intentionally-programmed-to-wreck-your-emails/)󠁿 [James Doglasse](https://profiles.wordpress.org/nippi9/) September 3, 2016 All I was after, was a plugin that allowed me to set a global width, and footer. Sure.. this plugin does this.. but it then ADDS shit to your emails you cant remove… unless you buy the free version. Like email title is suddenly plonked into the body of your email, ruining it. There is NEVER a need for this, its only done so you are forced to buy the paid version. Something, I would never do, since its been done so damn dishonestly. Avoid.
