Site News plug-in for WordPress
December 31st, 2005Description
The Site News plug-in adds a Site News option to two WordPress menus:
- For all users, a Site News option under the Profile menu displays a simple checkbox to allow subscribers to opt-in and opt-out of site news mailshots
- For administrators, a Site News option under the Options menu displays a screen where an administrator can type in a Subject: and a Message: and then send it as an email to all registered users who have opted-in to receive Site News. A confirmation screen shows whether each email has been sent successfully (it may not have been received successfully though)
Emails are sent from the site’s registered email address (set under Options -> General -> E-Mail address).
Installation
To install, simply download site_news.tgz into your wp-content/themes directory and unzip it - it’s just a single file site_news.php. Install it through Site Admin -> Plugins as usual.
