Kadence WooCommerce Email Designer

How well this listing is tuned to rank in WordPress.org search, on the factors an owner controls. Not popularity, optimization.

Directory rank vs rivals

wp.org popularity rank over time · higher is better · when a rival's line climbs above yours, they've overtaken you

How often this plugin actually ships. A steady rhythm is the maintenance signal a single "last updated" date can't show.

Share of active installs on each version of this plugin · 96% run the current release. Green is the current release; a big slice on older versions is a user base that has stopped updating.

Refined from the date this plugin crossed into its current band.

No paid tier is visible, so we don't put a figure on revenue or sale value: that would be guessing. The install base is a real asset to an acquirer, just not one public data lets us price.

   Was one of the best WooCommerce email design plugins available, but it stopped working with the latest WordPress or possibly Elementor. Email sent with the default WooCommerce template, and unable to get into the WordPress customizer.

   I had high hopes and customisations looked great in preview. Unfortunately the actual emails distributed by this system looked nothing like the preview! There was no header styling and header background added in the customised, added a background colour to the whole email. Don’t waste your time on this.

   Stopped working recently with an update from wordpress or maybe elementor. It’s free, so maybe they don’t update it much. It was good up until now. Have to switch to another.

   Acrescenta uma seção dentro do personalizar do site que permite ajustar o conteúdo como preferir. Baixei os modelos para dispositivo móvel, o que deixou as mensagens muito mais elegantes e profissionais. Deve ser testado com cuidado antes da adoção. Volta e meia aparece um conflito com outros plugins.

   Not compatible with ANY custom order plugins, or hardcoded (woo logic based) custom order status WITH emails. (Yes I know this plugin doesnt add email, but example custom order status plugin from woo.com can add emails too. But Kadence email designer doesnt see it, only the default woo mails. The last update / bugfix / new feature was more than 8 months ago. De editor has jquery error too. Uncaught ReferenceError: jQuery is not definedat ?kt-woomail-preview=1&customize_changeset_uuid=a1db730e-cd78-45e9-bdeb-358ab3f843e2&customize_theme=hitek-child&customize_messenger_channel=preview-0:234:9

   It’s a good plugin for re-designing the dreadful woo emails.

   If you need it in another language or use wmpl this plugin does not work. Has a nice editing tool and preview, but the inserted text is not used, only default english. Wasted my time with this plugin!
