# Non WordPress Notifications

 * I am a very new user to WordPress so I hope I can properly articulate my question:
 * We are using WordPress (bbPress) to power the forum on our British car website.
   We are getting WordPress notifications through email. We would like to have the
   capability for the Administrator to send out non-WordPress notifications to members
   of the forum. An example:
 * “New information relating to the upcoming car show have been posted on the Events
   section of the website.”
 * Does WordPress have this capability or is there a plugin we can add?
 * Thanks,
 * Gary

 * WordPress does not have an inherent function of this sort. What you are describing
   is something like a small-scale newsletter. Well, it is a newsletter! There plenty
   of newsletter plugins out there you may use directly from within your WordPress
   installation, provided your subscribers are not too many and that you do not 
   send these notifications very often. Too many subscribers or sending newsletters
   from one’s server risks the chance of being marked as a spammer.
 * Such plugins are [https://wordpress.org/plugins/newsletter/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/newsletter/)
   or [https://wordpress.org/plugins/alo-easymail/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/alo-easymail/).
   These are just some examples.

 * In response to a similar question, bbpress moderator Stephen Edgar recommends
