Findira Newsletter documentation.

Install the Free plugin

Findira Newsletter requires WordPress 6.3 or newer and PHP 8.1 or newer. Install it from the official WordPress.org Plugin Directory, or upload the Free ZIP through Plugins → Add New → Upload Plugin, then activate it. Open the WordPress.org listing →

Initial setup

1. Configure the sender under Settings → General.
2. Configure WordPress mail, SMTP, or Mailgun under Settings → Mailer.
3. Keep double opt-in enabled unless a lawful alternative applies.
4. Customize and embed a form with the Gutenberg block or the shortcode below.
5. Complete a real subscription-confirmation test.
6. Send a test campaign and confirm WP-Cron is reliable before a production send.

Install Pro as a second plugin

Keep Free installed and active. Upload the Findira Newsletter Pro ZIP as a separate plugin, activate it, then enter the customer license under Newsletter → Settings → License.

Subscribers, lists, and forms

Manage unlimited subscribers without an artificial Findira quantity limit. Subscriber records use pending, confirmed, and unsubscribed statuses and can be organized into named lists.

Free includes CSV import and export, multiple opt-in forms, the Gutenberg block and shortcode, editable form content, controlled styling, display rules and automatic placement, double opt-in, consent records, and confirmation and unsubscribe redirects.

Campaigns, delivery, and analytics

Create, edit, duplicate, test, schedule, queue, and send campaigns through wp_mail, SMTP, or Mailgun. Queue diagnostics, retries, and duplicate-send protection help you operate delivery reliably.

Free has no artificial Findira recipient limit. Actual capacity depends on your WordPress host, WP-Cron, and mail provider.

Available merge tags

{{first_name}}
{{last_name}}
{{email}}
{{unsubscribe_url}}

Analytics include successful sends, opens, clicks, reporting periods, campaign performance, and top links. Opens are approximate because mail clients may block or proxy tracking pixels.

Advanced Pro workflows

An active Pro license unlocks reusable templates, dynamic segments, automations, segment targeting, campaign-level custom CSS, and advanced Findira AI workflow tools.

If Pro is missing, inactive, or unlicensed, Free remains functional while protected Pro operations remain locked.

Pro licensing and transfers

• Annual and Lifetime licenses each activate on one site.
• Normal updates, private Pro updates, uploaded replacement ZIPs, and deactivate/reactivate preserve the license.
• Expired, disabled, over-limit, or wrong-product keys leave Free working while protected Pro workflows remain locked.
• To move a license, deactivate the old site before activating the new site.
• Deleting Pro releases the remote activation. After reinstalling, enter the same key again.
• Never post or send a complete license key publicly.

Privacy and data lifecycle

Subscriber and campaign records are stored in your WordPress database. Your website remains responsible for a valid legal basis, transparent privacy information, processor agreements, retention rules, and data-subject requests.

Updates and deactivation do not delete Newsletter data. The destructive Remove data on uninstall setting is off by default; enable it only when you intentionally want Newsletter data permanently removed when deleting the plugin.

Troubleshooting

Mail or confirmation messages are not delivered

Verify sender and mailer credentials, complete a real confirmation test, send a test email, confirm WP-Cron runs, inspect queue diagnostics and failed items, and check SPF, DKIM, and DMARC for the sender domain.

Pro is installed but locked

Confirm Free and Pro are active, the key belongs to Findira Newsletter Pro, and the key is not expired, disabled, over its activation limit, or active on another site. Deactivate an obsolete site before transferring.
