Hi there, love the idea of this, and now using zingiri to implement php list. But my client is really going to struggle with that interface, so your plugin could make it all hang together. If I could get it to work.
test site is http://www.charlesstrohmer.com/WP
I have selected to have the button appear at the foot of the page, I have copied the style sheets to the themes and tried every permutation of buttons (at least the ones I understand). But no button appears. Any ideas?

@Chris
For what user level did you configure the button to appear? Are you connected to the site’s administration interface with the appropriate user level? For the button to appear, you need to be connected with the right user level.
Some plugins (for example FeedWordPress) are known to block the apparition of the button. In that case you must either disable that plugin, or use the template function to make the button appear wherever you want in your template: yd_e2m_button()
From my client’s experience, the button appears with the template function even if a plugin is blocking the default use (ie show button at end of page content).
Also, be aware that with the default use, the button can appear only on single posts pages. It will never appear on your home page or other post list pages such as categories or tags, or on static pages. If you want the button to appear on this kind of pages (for example to create a newsletter) you need to put the yd_e2m_button() function in the appropriate template.

Hello, I am very excited about this function, as I want to forward my blog post to my subscribed WordPress users. This is my first time, so could you please tell me my next step after adding the plugin? How do i actually send the post out to the group?
Thank you

Getting the following error in the html code after it exports it:
Fatal error: Call to undefined function get_constructor_category_class() in sitefolder/public_html/a/wp-content/themes/constructor/header.php on line 19
Also, do you have a description of what all those options/Enable content filters do?
le 25 August 2010 à 17:37 h
@NC :
– This error is related to your specific theme.
– the content filters depend on other third-party plugins that you have installed. By default, just leave them all disabled. You will know if you need to enable a specific filter.
@Ali :
– Please refer to the visual step-by-step guide on the top of this very page. You will need to either import your subscribed user addresses in your e-mail package (ie Thunderbird), or have a single mailing-list address that sends it to all the group. This is outside the scope of this plugin.

bonjour,
j’ai installé votre plugin, mais ça ne fonctionne pas, aucun bouton n’apparait.
Est ce que je dois faire une réglage particulier?
merci

Bonjour,
C’est installé.
Le bouton est là pour moi comme “Administrateur”
La fenêtre apparaît avec le code html sélectionné
Je copie et je colle dans Outlook Express ou yahoo, mais c’est du code html que je reçois, pas le rendu html
Pourquoi donc?
Qu’est-ce que j’ai oublié?
Merci

@Pierreothibert :
Vous avez tout fait correctement jusqu’à la dernière étape : sur certains clients e-mail il est impossible de copier/coller du HTML, sur d’autres il faut faire une manipulation spéciale. Je n’utilise ni Outlook ni Yahoo mail, donc je ne peux pas vous dire comment faire avec ceux-ci. Avec Mozilla Thunderbird, par contre (logiciel libre disponible sur toutes plateformes), cela fonctionne parfaitement en utilisant la fonction Insérer/HTML…
Si vous ne trouvez pas de fonction équivalentes, je vous encourage à passer à Thunderbird !

I have loaded the plugin and I have the button available on my posts, I click on the button and all I see is a small code between tags. I am no seeing any html code are menu options like on screenshot 2. In other words I am getting no code at all

Is there no longer support for this plugin?
le 7 February 2011 à 15:21 h
@Arthur: I give free support on all of my plugins when time allows and reported issues are sufficiently general and/or documented for me to give advice. For specific issues I give commercial support by e-mail. The export2email plugin is actively used on professional sites and maintained accordingly.

Hi thanks for this plugin , it’s seems to be the only one like it. The widget part used to work for me before wp 3.0. Now the like in the pop up window shows “..c-1” which is usually a sign of a broken plugin. The pop up just shows my admin area. Also the button seems to only show on posts, not pages.

@Stacy:
I will be working on updating this plugin for a paying customer soon, so I hope this will fix the issues you encountered.

Hi Is there a [shortcode] for this plug-in? Nothing mentioned in the documentation.
