Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about Benchmark Email Lite

Please call Benchmark Email at (800) 430-4095.

Not yet. In Summer 2026 We began upgrading the plugin to support the New Generation Benchmark system, but we ran into some difficulties and had to pause that work. For now we're only supporting the Classic Benchmark system. If you need a new account on Classic Benchmark, please use one of the following links by locale: English: English / US Benchmark Classic Japanese: Japanese Benchmark Classic Spanish: Spanish Benchmark Classic Portuguese: Portuguese Benchmark Classic Chinese: Traditional Chinese Benchmark Classic These locales are currently Classic Benchmark only: France: French Benchmark Classic Germany: German Benchmark Classic India: Indian Benchmark Classic Italy: Italian Benchmark Classic

RSS campaigns send out a digest of blog posts on a schedule using your RSS feed URL. Further details can be found here. Inside your WordPress Admin area, select Benchmark > Interface. Navigate to Emails > Create > RSS Email > Drag/Drop. Enter your WordPress URL, which is your website followed by /feed. You may wish to filter the posts by category or tag, for example: /category/marketing-tips/feed. You may also use category IDs and filter nagatively to exclude a comma-separated list of them, for example: /?cat=-52047&feed=rss2

Yes. The plugin does not directly use any form frameworks other than native Benchmark Email signup forms. As with most WordPress projects, you can bridge the two together with custom code. We've assembled an example based on Contact Form 7. Install the Code Snippets plugin, download and import the sample code file, edit the code snippet to change the list ID mappings within the code and tailor the form field names to match your form (or visa-versa), then enable the code snippet and test.

Yes. In v3.3 we've added new hooks you can use in your custom functions. The new hooks are: add_filter( 'wpbme_post_title', function( $value, $post ) { return $value; }, 10, 2 ); add_filter( 'wpbme_post_content', function( $value, $post ) { return $value; }, 10, 2 ); add_filter( 'wpbme_email_type', function( $value, $post ) { return $value; }, 10, 2 ); add_filter( 'wpbme_email_html', function( $value, $post ) { return $value; }, 10, 2 ); These filter the blog post title, the content body, the email type and generated HTML body. The email type is DD for the drop-down email editor and can be changed to Custom when doing raw HTML.
