wordpress 4.0

I haven’t tested with 4.0 specifically (it’s on my TODO list), but we did add pretty good Multisite support last year, and I’m not aware of any core WordPress changes that would cause incompatibility. If you try it out and find issues, I’ll be happy to fix them.

I actually released this plugin a year or two before SendGrid released their official one. The main difference between this and the official plugin is that this one tries really hard to be compatible with as many WordPress installs as possible out of the box. You don’t have to install another Mail plugin, and you don’t have to have CURL on the server (because we use the WordPress HTTP API).

Obviously I’m a little biased, but I feel that this plugin is a higher quality WordPress plugin than the official one, which is why it still exists. If you find anywhere that mine’s worse than the official plugin, please let me know!

Just tested in WP 4.0 without issue. I don’t have a Multisite install handy, but it should work fine in either.

I’ll update the README soon with new version compatibility.

Hi there, at this point I find this plugin much better due to the simplicity of using it.

Can you let me know how I can check to see if I have the SSL extension for PHP installed required for the recommended secure connection.

I do have wildcard SSL certificates for my entire multisite network so I’m assuming I have this but I’m not sure.

Thanks for testing and updating so quickly!

I think the easiest way to test whether SSL is enabled is to check the “Use SSL” checkbox and save the settings. When you save settings, the plugin gives you a button that lets you send a test email to the site’s admin account. If the email goes through, you know SSL is working ??

Ok, great. Thank you and one more question. If it works from the network admin does that mean it’s going to work from all the subsites regardless of whether SSL in applied to those sites or not?

Yep. SSL is actually enabled or not on the server (with an SSL plugin for PHP), so if it works in the network admin, it should work everywhere.
