It’s only mid February, and we’ve already released updated versions of four of our WordPress Plugins. Three of these are updates to email functionality in four core applications.
MemberSonic (version 1.456), WP Coach Pro (version 1.65), and Sonic Reply (version 1.24) were all reworked to eliminate the SMTP email functionality and were replaced with the native wp_mail functions. NOTE: You do not have to change any settings when upgrading to the new version… it’s business as usual.
So, what does this mean to you? Well, the configuration and setup is simplified and there is less risk of server problems. We’ve found that several hosting companies have recently stepped up their security rules, resulting in emails being blocked (not received) when using our old SMTP Swift Mailer functionality.
We also pushed out a small update to WP Sonic Defender (version 1.9). This new version addresses a php error message that showed up on a few hosting platforms.
We have also added a new programmer to our team to assist with product support and development. There are a number of new features that will be added to MemberSonic, Sonic Reply and WP Coach Pro over the next several months.
And on top of all that, we’ve got 2 new products in development that solve several problems in our market (can you say “automation”)?
Finally, in the next few weeks we will be formally releasing WP Funnel Metrics. This WordPress plugin makes tracking funnel conversions a breeze. 🙂
