Better Notifications for WP Support

Better Notifications for WP is a simple but powerful plugin for that allows you to customise the email notifications that WordPress sends using a WYSIWYG editor and shortcodes. All of the default WordPress email notifications are available to customise as well as lots of new ones. You can choose to send notifications to individual users, multiple users, all users in a user role, multiple roles – you name it! You can also power-up your notifications with <a href="https://betternotificationsforwp.com/downloads/" rel="nofollow ugc">Premium Add-ons</a>. Emails are sent out via your WordPress website (using <code>wp_mail</code>) but can be sent via SMTP using a 3rd party plugin should you wish. 
If you want to let users create their own email notifications/subscriptions/alerts, check out my other plugin: <a href="https://contentnotify.com" rel="nofollow ugc">Content Notify</a>.
Here’s a quick walkthrough of the plugin in action:

<h4>An Example:</h4>
You want all the users in the Editor role to be notified via email when a new post is published and you’d like to customise it to include your logo along with the author’s name and date / time it was published – with this plugin, that’s easy.

WordPress sends emails you can’t customize. You can’t change who receives them, what they say, or how they look. And if you need to notify your team about content changes, user activity, or security events — WordPress simply doesn’t do that.
Notification fixes this. It gives you complete control over what WordPress sends, to whom, and through which channel. Replace rigid default emails with fully customizable messages, or create entirely new notifications triggered by any WordPress event. No coding required — set up your first notification in under 5 minutes.
<iframe loading="lazy" class="youtube-player" width="750" height="422" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/gW2KHrT_a7U?version=3&rel=1&showsearch=0&showinfo=1&iv_load_policy=1&fs=1&hl=en-US&autohide=2&wmode=transparent" allowfullscreen="true" style="border:0;" sandbox="allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-presentation allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox"></iframe>
<h4>WHAT YOU CAN DO WITH THE FREE VERSION</h4>
<ul>
<li>Replace default WordPress emails — Disable any built-in email (new user, password reset, comments, etc.) and replace it with your own version using the built-in Wizard</li>
<li>Create custom notifications — Get notified when posts are published, users register, comments arrive, plugins update, and 50+ other WordPress events</li>
<li>Use dynamic content — Insert Merge Tags like <code>{post_title}</code>, <code>{user_email}</code>, or <code>{comment_content}</code> to personalize every message</li>
<li>Send to anyone — Route notifications to specific email addresses, users, or entire roles</li>
<li>Send via email or webhook — Email is built-in; webhooks let you connect to any external service or automation tool</li>
<li>Control with precision — Enable or disable individual triggers, configure carriers, and set up multiple notifications per event</li>
</ul>
<h4>REPLACE DEFAULT WORDPRESS EMAILS</h4>
The built-in Wizard walks you through disabling WordPress default emails and replacing them with your own. You keep full control over the content, recipients, and formatting — no more generic messages you can’t edit.
<h4>BUILT-IN TRIGGERS</h4>
Over 50 triggers are ready to use out of the box. Enable or disable them in Settings.
<ul>
<li>Posts & Custom Post Types — published, drafted, updated, pending review, approved, trashed (works with any CPT)</li>
<li>Taxonomy terms — created, updated, deleted (works with any taxonomy)</li>
<li>Comments, Pingbacks & Trackbacks — new, replied, approved, unapproved, spam, trashed</li>
<li>Users — registered, profile updated, logged in, failed login, logged out, password reset/changed, deleted</li>
<li>Media — added, updated, deleted</li>
<li>Plugins — activated, deactivated, installed, removed, updated</li>
<li>Themes — installed, switched, updated</li>
<li>WordPress — available updates (on a schedule you define)</li>
<li>Privacy — personal data erased, erase request, exported, export request</li>
</ul>
Each trigger comes with its own set of Merge Tags, plus you can use Global Merge Tags (<code>{site_title}</code>, <code>{admin_email}</code>, <code>{home_url}</code>, etc.) anywhere.
