The SMTP plugin works ok, for example, with forgot-password.

Reply from Peter: I cannot think of a code-related reason why it wouldn’t work. It might be something more basic, such as your SMTP server only allowing certain senders, and the contributor you’re testing with (whose e-mail address is used as the sender) is not allowed.

Reply from Peter: The default logic within WordPress to force posts into the pending queue is based on whether a user is in the contributor group. However, if you have some custom roles and capabilities that force other groups of users into the pending queue, you can have them appear in the management interface by altering the $pce_contributor_roles setting in the plugin.

Thanks!

Reply from Peter: Have you tested normal WordPress e-mails (such as registration or forgot password e-mails) with the SMTP plugin? The collaboration e-mails plugin does not have any specific e-mail requirements, as long as normal WordPress e-mails are working.

I want more something like j F Y format. Is that possible? Can you tell if and how I can change that part?

Thanks!

Reply from Peter: You could wrap $pce_object->post_date in the mysql2date function as detailed in this thread.

This looks like an awesome plugin, really! I have one question though, is it possible to change the default name of contributor to something else? I ask because we are using a front end blog posting mechanism and have already set basic contributors up with a different name via a roles plugin. They still have the same privileges as contributors. I just wondered if there was anything we could do to change the name of contributors in your plugin to bring up our list of contributors of a different name?

Many thanks.

Reply from Peter: If I’m understanding the issue correctly, try looking at the $pce_contributor_roles setting near the top of the plugin file.

Reply from Peter: It’s possible, but I’d suggest building something separately where you manually trigger the e-mail by clicking a button, or have people subscribe for e-mail updates on an RSS feed instead.

In a French WP, I still have "Your post has been reverted back to draft status by [...]".

Reply from Peter: Ah, I see. Looks like some of the translation strings in the French translation file remain incomplete. You can download a program such as Poedit to update the translation files included in both plugins.

I think it would be great if you could add an option on the admin page (/options-general.php?page=peters_collaboration_emails.php) to choose the default language of the mails.

Best,

Bert

Reply from Peter: The translation of the e-mails is currently controlled by the language of your WordPress installation, so if the desired translation is available, it should automatically be used if your WordPress language is set to that.

Thanks for your usefull plugin. I would like to know if you can update it to add a functionality.

If the post is published, it send an email but not if it’s refused. It’s possible to send an email when the contributor’s post is placed to trash (garbage) ?

Thank you very much !

Reply from Peter: There’s an e-mail sent when a post is rejected (sent back to draft) but not when trashed. There is probably a post status transition for “trash”, in which case anyone could easily extend the code. I’m not sure when I’ll work on the plugin next, but it could be a future addition.

Thanks for the plugin, should make life simpler and the Inbox fatter.
