Hi Dave,

I understand your problem. Good, that you’re able to quickfix it on your own. I never expected, that someone will queue such big emails ??

We’ll take make up our mind about those issues in the next update of the plugin.

Log:
I guess, to request the message with ajax when needed, would be a good solution and solve your issue.

Cron:
Let us think about that one.

I’ll keep you updated in a couple of weeks, when the next release is close. If you want, go to our website and send us a quick message with your contact, so we can have a testrun before the release.

best,
Nicolas

Nice, good to hear!

If you like, leave the plugin a good rating and support our work. Thank you very much!

Another idea: Could you please verify that your WordPress / Webserver can send emails, if you deactivate the Mail Queue plugin and try to send an email?

Hi @kbiegert,

your cron is not triggering anymore. Did you disable it by a plugin or php?

Do you have any plugin installed which might cause this issue?

by the way: You can run the cron manually by calling [yourdomain]/wp-cron.php

Please keep us updated, how you’re doing!

best,
Nicolas

Hi @loopforever ,

I am assuming that your plugin completely overwrites the wp_mail() function in certain cases and is therefore incompatible with our Mail Queue plugin. I’m sorry about that.

Can you provide us with this plugin as a zip file? Then I would be happy to take a look at the code.

Alternatively, you could check whether other “Mail Loggin” or “Mail Queue” plugins are also not working. It would be likely.

Hi @loopforever,

Thank you for your message!

Yes, in this code example of yours the wp_mail() function is used. Nevertheless, I would like to bet that the plugin hooks into the wp_mail() function elsewhere or even overwrites the wp_mail() function (which some plugins fatally do). This makes the MailQueue unusable.

Can you please go a little deeper into the abc plugin and check if it makes changes to wp_mail()?

Thanks & greetings from Munich,
Nicolas

Hi Ebud,

yes, you can do that! For this, add the mail in the email header X-Mail-Queue-Prio: Instant

Please take a look in the FAQs of the plugin: https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/mail-queue/#faq

There you’ll find the question: “Can I send emails instantly without going through the queue?” In that question, you’ll find three examples doing exactly this.

Example 1: Woocoomerce Plugin // There’s an example how you would do this, if you would for example have a woocommerce shop and want to send emails instantly. Your request is very similar to this.

Example 2: Contact Form 7 Plugin // If you want e.g. Contact Form 7 submission sent instantly

Example 3: Password Forgot Email // If you would like to send the email instantly.

With these examples, I am sure you can solve your task perfectly.

Happy coding and please leave us a nice rate ??

Thanks,
Nicolas

That’s strange, beeing the settings page a usual WP form.

Could you please provide us every possible information about the environment? (Server, PHP, WP, other plugins)

Hi & thank you for trying out our plugin!

You seem to be using the plugin on a MultiSite, right?

In that case, please do not activate the plugin for the whole network. Instead, activate it for each site separately. Then it will work just fine!

Here a quote from the FAQs of the plugin:

I have a MultiSite. Can I use Mail Queue?

Yes, but with limitations.

Do not activate the Mail Queue for the whole network. Instead, please activate it for each site separately. Then it will work smoothly. In a future release we’ll add full MultiSite support.

In the next release, we’ll add an infobox to avoid misunderstandings, if the plugin is running on a multisite.

Happy Mail Queuing & kind regards,
Nicolas

Hi Tarun Paliwal,

thanks for your message!

The issue is, that the Mailpoet plugin is using is not using the normal wp_mail() function, and has it’s own queue as well. Makes sense, because Mailpoet does not send all emails at once, but step by step.

So in this case, with Mailpoet installed, the Mail Queue plugin is circumvented, and can’t take action.

Kind regards,
Nicolas

That’s great! Thanks for the info!

Please rate the plugin, if you don’t mind ??

Hi Shagadelic,

thanks for the URL!

It seems that this plugin does not set the Content Type html header, instead it’s setting a filter while sending. For that reason, when sending this email delayed with the queue, the filter can’t trigger of course.

That’s why we released a new version of “Mail Queue” yesterday, which now also covers such cases.

Please give it a try and report if now the emails of “Follow Ups” are sent in html.

Thanks,
Nicolas


PS: “Follow-Ups” has been retired and they recommend to use “AutomateWoo”

Hi Shagadelic,

could you please send us the URL of the FOLLOW-UP plugin?

Do you have this problem only with mails send by FOLLOW-UP, or generelly be mails sent by Woocommerce?

And what about html-mails sent by WordPress? Does this work fine?

Thank you for the information so that we can help better!

Hi Chelminkski,

good point! Yes, we’ll make this possible in the next version of the plugin. Will come soon!

best,
Nicolas

Hi Mattrin,

the Mail Queue plugin is working with every smtp setting of your wp_mail function. It does not change the wp_mail function, it just delays the sending, to give you better control about how many emails are sent.

Nicolas
