WP Post Email Notification is a WordPress plugin designed to enhance user engagement by notifying subscribers via email whenever a new post is published. This free plugin allows users to manage an independent mailing list, separate from the existing WordPress user base. It features a customizable widget that can be placed in the sidebar, enabling visitors to easily subscribe by entering their email addresses through an AJAX-powered submission form. Additionally, the plugin provides an intuitive administration interface where site owners can oversee subscribers, adjust notification settings, and modify email content.

The plugin operates on a job-based system, where each job is responsible for sending notifications for a specific post. Jobs initiate one minute after a post goes live and can be configured to control the number of emails dispatched in each run. Once all notifications have been sent, the job is automatically removed. With its clean integration into the WordPress user experience and open-source availability on GitHub, WP Post Email Notification is a practical tool for website owners looking to maintain communication with their audience.
