About DMC Posts to Newsletter Builder
From the official readme · v1.0.2Description
DMC Posts to Newsletter Builder turns your published posts into a branded email newsletter. Search your posts, click to include them, drag to set the order, then preview the finished newsletter at a public URL, ready to copy into your email platform.
Branding defaults from your WordPress site (title and custom logo) and everything is overridable on the settings page, so it works on any site out of the box.
What it does
- Curation screen – search all your posts, click to include, drag to reorder, with a live preview that updates as you go. Set the edition’s subject line, write an intro greeting (with
{firstname}personalisation), and choose an email template. Changes save automatically. - Branded email – a responsive, two-column article layout with hero image, logo, category labels, author bylines and a subscribe button. Colours and branding are configurable.
- Platform-ready preview – the newsletter renders at a public URL in Mailchimp or Campaign Monitor flavour. Your intro personalisation and the unsubscribe / preferences / web-version / address tags are written in each platform’s own merge-tag syntax, so you can import the HTML and the tags just work.
- Co-Authors Plus aware – bylines respect Co-Authors Plus when it’s active.
One-click push (premium add-on)
The free plugin produces newsletter HTML you import into your platform manually. The premium add-on DMC Posts to Newsletter Builder Pro adds Push to Mailchimp and Push to Campaign Monitor buttons that create a ready-to-review draft on the platform in one click. It never sends. A human always reviews and sends inside the platform. Learn more on the DMC Posts to Newsletter Builder Pro page.
Compatibility note

Privacy
The free plugin does not phone home or send your content anywhere. It only renders the newsletter on your own site.

Frequently asked questions
Does it send the email?
No. The free plugin only renders the newsletter for you to import. The premium add-on can create a draft on your platform, but nothing ever sends automatically; you review and send from inside Mailchimp or Campaign Monitor.
Do I need an email platform account?
Not for the free plugin. It renders HTML you can use anywhere. To push drafts automatically you need the premium add-on plus a Mailchimp or Campaign Monitor account.
Which posts can I include?
Any published post. Search by keyword or pick from your most recent posts.
Can I change the newsletter design?
Yes. Branding (logo, hero image, colours, sender details and article image size) is set on the settings page. The subject line, intro greeting and email template are set per edition on the curation screen.
Is it tied to one site or theme?
No. Branding defaults are pulled from the current site and everything is overridable, so it works on any site.
