Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about GD Mail Queue

Yes. Each website can be set up to use the mail queue.

The plugin has its top-level item in the WordPress admin side menu: GD Mail Queue. This will open a panel with a dashboard, settings, and tools.

Yes. If you use the BuddyPress HTML emails feature, it will work as expected, and GD Mail Queue will handle these emails without turning them into HTML. You can also use an option in GD Mail Queue to force BuddyPress to send plain text emails, and GD Mail Queue will turn them into HTML emails.

Yes (and no). The plugin can detect and intercept CF7 emails. If your CF7 form contains attachments that have to be sent, GD Mail Queue can intercept the email, but attachments will be gone because the CF7 plugin is deleting attachments as soon as it sends an email, so queued email can't find the attachments to send. If you don't use attachments in the CF7 plugin, GD Mail Queue will work fine. If you use CF7 with attachments, make sure to disable GD Mail Queue intercept to queue for these emails. Logging and other features in GD Mail Queue work fine with CF7 email. To stop intercept for specific mail types, check out this: Filter: gdmaq_mailer_add_to_queue.

No. GD Mail Queue has support for SMTP email sending, and you can add your SMTP server information for the plugin to use for all emails and/or queue emails. If you need to use REST API for email sending or want to use predefined SMTP sending services through PHPMailer, GD Mail Queue Pro supports several popular email services using official REST API libraries and SMTP sending to.

Yes. But, because the queue sends emails with the delay, the attachments must be available to ship at any time. So, if the email sends temporary attachments removed by the sending function as soon as they are passed to the wp_mail() function, queue will still be able to send email, but attachments will not be sent if they are missing in the moment of the queue sending.

No. All plugins that send emails to various services using REST API or some other API to connect to services always replace the wp_mail() function, making it impossible for my plugin to detect emails and work with them. GD Mail Queue can't use third-party plugins to send emails because there is no universal interface for all plugins to implement and use.

No. Most email sending plugins start by replacing the wp_mail() function in WordPress, making it hard for other plugins to do anything related to email sending. GD Mail Queue plugin doesn't replace this function (or any other WordPress function), and it is relying on that core function to intercept and determine if the email should be turned in HTML or added to the queue.

Yes. Settings for that are available on the PHPMailer Settings panel once you switch Mode to Custom SMTP Server.

Yes. To get more information on registering additional templates, check out the knowledge base article: Additional HTML templates.
