Do you need to send email newsletters to all registered users in WordPress?
This one feature could be really handy and help you reach out to most of the loyal users who are connected to your brand. One solution to send email to users in WordPress is by exporting the list of users, importing it to email services like Convertkit, Aweber or similar and then sending a newsletter.
However, there are better solutions now where you can send emails to all users in WordPress from the dashboard itself.
There are two free plugins available for this, and I’m listing both of them below.

2 Top plugins to send emails to WordPress users for free
These plugins use the WordPress mail function to send the email newsletters. If you have a large number of users, which may be in the case of WooCommerce or Easy digital download enabled WordPress site, you should use SMTP services like Sendgrid, Amazon or any other. If this sounds technical to you, do consult your developer.
For a small list of users, you don’t have to get into mumble-jumble of configuring SMTP services. In fact, in this scenario, you don’t need to configure anything to start sending email newsletters to users.
1. WP Email users:
This is the first WordPress plugin that I would recommend for sending emails to all registered users in WordPress.
The plugin offers following features:
- Simple and lightweight
- Email/Newsletter format: Plain text or HTML
- Full WYSIWYG editor available for typing email
- Add some HTML message and click on send email to users
- Separate emails sent to users
- SMTP-ready: Choose to send mail by SMTP or PHP’s mail() function.
- Send with your web host, Gmail, any SMTP, like SendGrid, Amazon SES Mandrill, etc.
- No restriction on sending newsletters to subscribers (forget MailChimp, Aweber, etc.)
- Mass email To users; can also send unlimited emails
- Pagination for more users
- Admin can search user with email, username, and roles, select all user just by single click button
- You can change the entries to show users in a table
- Select the users you want to send email to
- Add some HTML message and click on send email to users
- You can use a short tag for your site title
- Add media option to send emails
- Place holders [[user-nickname]],[[first-name]],[[last-name]],[[site-title]],[[display-name]],[[user-email]] which enables sending dynamic users data into email.
- The default template is included as an HTML file in the plugin folder; feel free to edit.
- CSV File import and send email to imported CSV email list
- User or rolewise CSV Export
- Send emails to the newly registered users
- Send email when user role changes
- Send email when user resets password
- Send email when there is a new comment post
- Send email when new post is published
- Easy-to-use. It just works out of the box!
- Subscribe and Unsubscribe
- No advertising
With the help of multi SMTP feature, you can send unlimited emails from your WordPress dashboard. The plugin offers an auto-responder feature that you can use to automatically notify users about the newly published blog post on your blog.
I like the feature that helps send an email newsletter to individual user or role or to a list. You can import any existing email list and send email newsletter using the plugin.
Tip: Use this plugin to export the email address of all commentators on your blog.
2. Email users
Email users is a lighter plugin than the one above. This plugin offers you minimal option and you can send email newsletter to registered users. You can send email newsletter to an individual or a group of users.
- You can control who will receive and who will not receive an email.
- You can write a custom email in HTML format.
- You can click on any post and send that post to your list.
You can also use it as a way to send email newsletters to your registered blog readers.
Sending an email newsletter with a link to your best post from the last month is a great idea.
For an affiliate marketer, this plugin can be used to send monthly discount coupons.
I can think of a thousand different ways that you can use this plugin. But in order to make the most out of it, you need to think out of the box.

Anyone else find that it doesn’t email to more than 10 users when you select a group to email to?
Hi Harsh,
It looks a good plugin and does what it says. But what I’m concerned is the server load. Will it be suitable to send emails for a few thousands users when my blog is hosted on HostGator baby plan?
Thanks Harsh,
I was searching Google for a plugin like this. I thought I would have to import all the addresses into a bulk email software. Glad I found this.
Best regards,
Paul
That is a good tip particularly to those new to the blogosphere.
Brief but very accurate information… Appreciate your sharing this one.
A must read article!
Thanks @munkaruha
I use this plugin. This plugin is useful to send an email to all guest blog account holders on my website.
Guest Blog account holders do not subscribe to blog. If I use this plugin to send an email to them, and by chance, they share it on social media, it is a great value addition to the blog post.
