wysija-newsletters-max image size?

Hey! Good question.

Image sizes can affect deliverability in some email clients. Unless you have hundreds of them, you should be fine.

hundreds? It wouldn’t take hundreds of emails with 100k+ size images to make the email very big and longer to load.. I guess I won’t worry about it if it’s not a problem.

Hundreds might have been a bit too much.

If you have a dozen, you’re fine. ??

Hi MDC2957. i had a similar problem. When i received the newsletter on my e-mail client (gmail in my case) the post thumbnail is not showed. After investigate and discover that MailPoet creates a 600×9999 size thumbnail, i’ve decided to edit the “wysija-newsletters-max” value for 150×150.
This line is in the base.php file, inside core folder.

I hope the MailPoet team resolve this point in next versions of plugin, indeed, a great plugin!.

Maybe giving to user the chance of set the thumbnail size or capturing the media defaults values

I am not sure if this is the right link to raise my question, but after bouncing around the MailPoet plugin and forum for several hours, this is as good a place as any.

I am usually very patient, but MailPoet has tried my patience to the point of deleting it and installing an alternative.

This is what has driven me to the point of despair:

1. After installing the plugin on my WordPress site, which uses the Twenty Thirteen theme, and making the settings as I wanted them, I tested the sign-up form. Sometimes it worked but at other times I got a form error message. The only cure seemed to be to delete the sign up form in use and create a new one. In desperation I made a fresh install of the plugin from within the settings. Since then I have not tested the sign-up form.

2. I then tried to create a newsletter for immediate delivery after somebody signs-up. The immediate problem was that no matter how I tried I could not add text to the newsletter despite dragging the text widget to the appropriate place. Nothing happened when I did as instructed on screen and tried to “click here to add text”. This design element did not work. For the record, all of the other design items worked.

Now, I notice that MailPoet has not been tested with WordPress 4.6 and maybe there is a conflict there.

On the face of it, MailPoet could be just what I need – provided it can be made to work properly.

As I said, I am a patient person and am willing to try to resolve these problems providing it can be done within a reasonable period of time. Any ideas on how to get MailPoet working properly would be appreciated.

Here is an update to my previous post, which sheds some light (and a lot of gloom) over part of the problems I have encountered in using MailPoet.

I still could not put ant text in the newsletter, so (in Firefox) I right-clicked over the widget and selected “inspect element” from the drop down list. I then right-clicked on the selected HTML code and selected “edit HTML”. After a bit of trial and error I was able to insert the small amount of text that I wanted.

The problem might be that the text box was fixed at a small size and was not responding. More by luck than judgement, I was able to modify the HTML to put in the brief amounts of text that I wanted. O.K. that workround solved my immediate problem, but it still remains that the heading and text widget is not working.

I like this plugin it actually okay with my online eCommerce website. it gave me what i needed actually. Thanks

Hello afripasglobal,

I am glad this plugin works for you and I hope you continue to be happy with it.

Potentially, MailPoet looked to be just what I wanted, which is why I installed it. However, it did not work and there has been no feedback from the plugin’s creators – not even to say they are looking at the issues raised. I have now deleted the plugin.
