Description
Summe Site Digest keeps your whole team informed by automatically emailing a beautifully formatted digest of site activity on a schedule you control.
No third-party accounts. No API keys. No monthly fees. It works right out of the box using your existing WordPress email.
What’s in each digest?
- 📝 New Posts — any post types you choose, published since the last digest
- 💬 Comments — approved, pending, or spam (your choice)
- 👤 New User Registrations — with role and email
- 🛒 WooCommerce Orders — order number, customer, total, and status (when WooCommerce is active)
Key Features
- Zero setup — install, activate, done. The first digest goes out the next morning.
- Flexible scheduling — hourly, twice daily, daily, weekly, or monthly
- Multiple recipients — paste in a comma-separated list of email addresses
- Selective content — turn each section on or off individually
- Post-type filter — choose which post types appear in the digest
- Comment-status filter — approved, pending, and/or spam
- WooCommerce aware — order section appears automatically when WooCommerce is installed
- Send-test button — preview the digest in your inbox instantly
- Clean HTML email — readable on desktop and mobile
- Fully translatable — uses WordPress i18n with a proper text domain
- GPL v2 licensed — 100 % open source
Who is it for?

FAQ
-
Does it require a paid account or API key?
-
No. Summe Site Digest uses WordPress’s built-in
wp_mail()function. If your site can already send emails (password resets, order confirmations etc.), this plugin will work without any additional setup. -
How do I change the send frequency?
-
Go to Settings Smart Digest, change the Frequency dropdown, and click Save Settings. The cron schedule is automatically updated.
-
Can I send to multiple email addresses?
-
Yes. Enter a comma-separated list in the Recipients field, e.g.
alice@example.com, bob@example.com. -
Does it work with WooCommerce?
-
Yes. When WooCommerce is active, a WooCommerce Orders section appears automatically in both the settings and the digest email. No extra configuration is needed.
-
What happens if nothing happened since the last digest?
-
If there are no new posts, comments, users, or orders in the period, the email is skipped entirely — your inbox stays clean.
-
Will this slow down my site?
-
No. All data collection and email sending happens via WP-Cron, which runs in the background and is not triggered by front-end visitors.
-
Where are the plugin settings stored?
-
All settings are stored in the standard WordPress
wp_optionstable. Uninstalling the plugin via Plugins Delete removes all stored options cleanly.
