This section describes how to install the plugin and get it working.

e.g.

1. move ‘newsletter_artisan’ folder to ‘src/wp-content/plugins/’ directory of your project
2. move ‘theme_file/newsletter_artisan.php’ file to ‘src/wp-content/themes/[your theme name]/’ directory of your project
3. create a blank page in WordPress management panel – select ‘Pages’ and than ‘Add New’
4. select ‘Newsletter Artisan’ as the template used for the page and publish the page
5. activate the plugin in the ‘Plugins’ section of WordPress
6. Done. After following those steps you should see ‘Artisan’ section inside of the WordPress panel. You can start creating your own themes.

You can start from coping the code from ‘nesletter_artisan/template_snippets/’. You should have basic theme added.

How to update the Newletter Artisan plugin?

The plugin should be updated automatically using WordPress plugins udpates. You should see a notification about the release of a new version in the admin panel. Next all you have to do is push the updated button. The plugin and wordpress should do all the magic for you.

How can I test if my newsletter is working on different clients?

You can use external software to do that. Litmus is a very good example of it – https://litmus.com/email-testing. It’s expeccially useful if you are planning to support mobile clients.
