WP Mail

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

Share of active installs on each version of this plugin · 100% 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. A small install base leaves thin data to model from.

   Hi guys We have problem with the wp_email automatic . this only happens when we install another plugin for HTML emails / wp better emails or email templates . if only the wp_simple email is installed , it sends only the correct email and 1 email per operation as soon we install another plugin, it sends 2 emails per operation, one correct and one extra titled no subject and it comes from [email protected] Beside the correct automated emails that an user should receive when making an operation on our website , they also receive an empty email from [email protected] I was wondering why is this ? we have setup the automatic email to be from [email protected], everything is good, but they received this empty email along with the correct emails. the title is no subject and the email is empty any idea how to solve this ?
