== Frequently Asked Questions ==

= Can I select individual users? =

Absolutely. Go to `Email Users` page of plugin and select user you want to send email to.

= Can I choose multiple roles? =

Yes. You are able to choose one or many roles at a time and send email.

= When is email send? =

Emails are processed immediately and there is no delay. However, depending on your hosting or mail service provides, there might be slight delay in delivery.

= I am using Gmail as email service provider (or any other provider) and user are not getting emails. =

This plugin only acts as a bridge between your user database and email service provider. Its upto email provider to either send or block sent emails. If your delivery is not consistent, please contact your email provider support or hosting to see if you are hitting their limit.

= I have many users in my system and many are not getting the emails? =

Since, processing is happening immediately, low `max execution time` in PHP setting might terminate the process. Try increasing the max execution time.

Please post your issue/question/suggestion/request to support forum. I will try and address it as soon as possible.
