I've questions about create a contact form and sending one mail to multiple recipients.
I am a volunteer in an association and we need to regularly share a mailing list between more than 20 coordinators.
The main problem is that we need to update this list in a regular basis.
Another problem is that you can't send a single mail to more than 100 recipients using mozilla thunderbird (so we reach the mail recipients limit).
I search for a solution to easily have access to this list for each of coordinators.
We have a website so I thought I used it in a clever way to share the said mailing list between coordinators and also be able to update it (add or delete contacts).
I tried those steps:
I created a wordpress page protected by a password, with a simple contact form (using CF7 plugin) using a textarea and a button.
install contact form 7 plugin
create a basic contact form
setting the mailing list (more than 100 mails addresses in Bcc field)
The point here is that the coordinator will write mail and it'll send the mail to the entire mailing list set in the additional headers of Contact Form 7 plugin settings.
I need to test if the mail has been received by everyone.
Another requirement is that i want to be able to send pictures and i need to have a correct text editor.
is there a way to test to send one mail to more than 100 emails adresses without being limited ?
how can i create a large amount of emails addresses for testing ? is there a tool for this ?
In the end, is this the right way to go? Or is there a simpler way to share and update the email list?
I hope I was clear enough.
Thanks in advance.

In my experience mailchimp has been super easy to use and very powerful. It seems like it would be able to solve all your problems you mentioned.
Here is the website: https://mailchimp.com/
Here is a plugin for your wordpress site: https://wordpress.org/plugins/mailchimp-for-wp/

I’m using the great Advanced Forms plugin (Version: 1.9.1) for Wordpress for a client.
Therefore I have a question. How can I send the current page/post title inside the notification email where the form is completed in? https://www.docuconcept.nl/documentoplossingen/digitaal-ondertekenen/ It's about the green "Demo aanvraag" button which will open in a pop-up.
I know that I can use {all_fields} for the filled fields. But can I somehow also retrieve the source page title? So that the client knows on which page the user was? I know that with another form plugin like WPForms it's possible with some special tags.
Thanks already!
I tried multiple tags like [url] [page_title] etc but nothing works.
I am using gravity form plugin into my wordpress site. Today I have received a query which contain these #file_links["C:\Frazes.txt",1,N]: #file_links["C:\Links.txt",1,N] lines into the email.
I have apply all the validation into my contact form.
I also receive similar queries regularly via my WordPress forms (I use wpforms). After a bit of research, these seem to be an attempt by a spammer to use the GSA software development kit (see their manual here) in order to generate a spam response to your form. However, in such cases the spammer didn't configure their spam macro correctly and therefore you see the spam macro (e.g. #file_links) instead of the actual spam content that would've been generated by that macro. You (and I!) should configure a good captcha in each form in order to block most of this spam. Cheers.
The best way I've found to block these is to use the BSK Gravity Forms Blacklist plugin. You can prevent submit of your form if the any of the fields contain the query, by creating a blacklist that checks any of the following items: Frazes.txt, #file_links, #file_links["C:\Frazes.txt",1,N]: #file_links["C:\Links.txt",1,N. Once you've created the blacklist, apply it to the email field (or any other field) in your form, make sure to choose the case-insensitive contains comparison. Hope this helps!
I'm a little new to web dev and coding so forgive my basic question..
I'm working as a sales and marketing consultant for a software company. The company has requested i create a mailchimp campaign linking to a landing page on wordpress, with downloadable e-book for subscribers. I'm having difficulty with this; does anyone have a recommendation or solution to integrate/automate the two?
To be more concise, there's three actions required: Sending the campaign (Mailchimp), redirecting to the landing page (Wordpress), and then downloading E-Book AFTER subscribing (Wordpress). All these actions have been completed; I just don't know how to automate/integrate the actions together.
i realize it's not a coding question per se, but I assume some coding may be needed.
Thanks :)
P.s. I searched for a similar question but to no avail. If there is one, please link the answers :)
Have you tried the mail chimp plug-in?

-Good luck [:
I have had to create a similar workflow, below is my process.
Create a list on mailchimp
within this list, in the forms tab, create a form to get name and email info of people wanting to download your Ebook
open 'embedded forms' in the same list and copy the HTML code
Using the Bloom plugin connect mailchimp and wordpress.
selected the mailchimp list you want to connect
select 'custom HTML form' and paste the code
make final aesthetic changes to from
Bloom will give you a 'shortcode for the optin' which can be copied into a black wordpress page. (this will show your form)
Create a landing page on wordpress
standard page nothing special but link to you wordpress page with your form
Set up automation on Mailchimp that whenever someone signs up to your list they get an email with a link to the Ebook.
That's the overview, with many learning opportunities along the way ;)
I'm sure this isn't possible but I thought I would ask.
In my functions.php file I have a wp_mail function that sends an email to moderators when posts are made.
This email is sent to number of different address - these addresses might change.
I thought it would easier to set these email addresses in the WP Dashboard something like on custom page and then have functions.php update with the new emails.
Is this possible?
Yes, this is possible.
With out getting into the specific coding details you would need to store the different email addresses in the database.
You could tie in advanced custom fields to the wp_mail function to pull the different address from a list. That way you could skip building a page in the dashboard to display the addresses.
Regardless some custom coding would need to happen in the mail function to grab the data from advanced custom fields.
I'm currently in the process of writing my first Wordpress Plugin, which is extending WPmembers. Essentially, the logic flows as follows.
User logs in
Database is referenced to see if this is their first login, if true..
The user is presented with an information verification screen... once verified
Information goes to Salesforce via POST.
My issue is with step three, while I understand displaying fields from the database, I'm unsure of how to make those fields editable by the user.
Any tips? I'm sure this has been done before but after several days of googling I've been unable to find a use case that's similar enough to mine to be put to use.
This should help:
