New User Email Setup Update

I have just released an update to my ‘New User Email Setup’ plugin, and have made a jump to version 0.5 since the code has had a complete rewrite, and added functionality for WordPress 2.7 upwards.

This update has been long overdue, and quite a lot has been added to the plugin behind the scenes, and a couple of admin screen changes.

For more information about the plugin if you haven’t used it before, head to the original post and you can download it from here New User Email Setup (7702).

IMPORTANT: AFTER UPDATING TO THE LATEST VERSION, PLEASE GO TO THE ‘NEW USER EMAIL’ OPTIONS PAGE AND SAVE YOUR OPTIONS AGAIN. You need to do this because the options structure has changed. In future versions this will be automated.

Added in this version are:

1. Added security with wp_nonce
2. Functionality if admin has altered the root to wp_content
3. Added Class structure to avoid any possible conflicts
4. Changed options to be saved in an array, making a smaller footprint on the database
5. Added 2.7 compatibility for admin screens
6. Added the possibility to use a From Name along with the From Address
7. Added a link in the WordPress footer on the admin page to give a quick link to the plugin homepage if support is needed. Thanks to Striderweb

Don’t forget to leave a comment if you like the plugin, or if you have any issues with it. Since it has been completely rewritten, I want to make sure you are all happy with it! Also, let me know of any other features you might want implementing.

I’d also appreciate it if you could rate the plugin at the official plugin repository, or even make a post about the plugin if you’ve found it really useful.

Comments are now turned off on the original post, so leave any comments here.

Enjoy!
