I’m assuming that you know the $posttitles, $posttags, $postcatergories, $postauthors, $postdates are custom variables that have additional code written to perform the function and you have some understanding of php and how to write those codes.

PHP is not my area of expertise, self-taught. But this is the basics for those variables:

$posttitle = $post->post_title;
$postdate = mysql2date( 'F j, Y', $post->post_date );
$permalink = get_permalink( $postID );

This is the basic foreach loop to get the post tags.

// If post has tags
$posttagslink = "";
$posttagsall = get_the_tags( $postID );
if ( $posttagsall )
{
	foreach($posttagsall as $tag)
	{
		$taglink = get_tag_link( $tag->term_id );
		$posttagslink .= '<a href="' . $taglink  . '">' . $tag->name . '</a>, ';
	}
	$posttagslinks  = rtrim( $posttagslink, ', ' );
	$posttags = " | Tagged with: " . $posttagslinks;
}

This is the basic foreach loop to get the post categories.

// If post has categories
$postcategorieslinks = "";
$postcategoriesall = get_the_category( $postID );
if ( $postcategoriesall)
{
	foreach($postcategoriesall as $cat)
	{
		$catlink = get_category_link( $cat->term_id );
		$postcategorieslinks .= '<a href="' . $catlink . '">' . $cat->name . '</a>, ';
	}
	$postcatlinks  = rtrim( $postcategorieslinks, ', ' );
	$postcategories = " | Posted in: " . $postcatlinks;
}

This is the code for single author environment

$postauthorsID = $post->post_author;
$postauthorname = get_the_author_meta( 'display_name', $postauthorsID );
$postauthors = 'by <a href="'. get_author_posts_url( $postauthorsID ) . '">' . $postauthorname . '</a>';

Hopefully this can give you some direction and you can modify it to your particular needs. Good luck!

To add Featured image to the email:

// Include Featured Image post
if ( has_post_thumbnail( $postID ) )
{
	$postthumbnail = '<div style="float:left;margin-top:5px;margin-right:15px;margin-bottom:9px;">'. get_the_post_thumbnail( $postID,'thumbnail' ) .'</div>';
}

Then insert the variable where you want it to appear in the post content. My example is

$content[$htmlContentTag] = '<h1 class="h1"><a style="color:#ed0c06;text-decoration:none;" href="' . $permalink . '">' . $posttitle . '</a></h1><p>' .  $postauthors . '</p><p style="margin-top:15px;padding-top:10px;">' . $postthumbnail . $postContent . '</p>';

The editing for content to be sent happens at the Autochimp plugin level. I also added code to send the Author(s) (includes multiple authors using CoAuthor Plus plugin), Categories, & Tag data as well as the inline style markup.

This is my edit for the $postContent variable:

$postContent = wp_trim_words( $post->post_content, 100, ' [...]<div style="display:block;text-align:center;width:100%;margin-top:15px;margin-bottom:25px;padding-top:15px;padding-bottom:25px;"><a style="padding-top:15px;padding-right:25px;padding-bottom:15px;padding-left:25px;color:#ffffff;background-color:#ed0c06;" href="' . $permalink . '"><strong>Read the full post here &raquo;</strong></a></div><div><p>' . $postdate . $postcategories . $posttags . '</p></div>');

You will want to make your edits in this section of autochimp.php file:

function AC_CreateCampaignFromPost( $api, $postID, $listID, $interestGroupName, $categoryTemplateID )
{...
}

I used this to manually sort the display order by a vaule in the user profile. This method can be tedious for a large user count.I’m not the original author.

Replace the args to your settings. But this should work with a little tweaking.

$args  = array(
               'blog_id' => '37',
               'meta_query' => array(
		            array(
                           'key'   => 'display_order', //My custom meta key to only display specific, handpicked authors
                           'value' => null,
                           'compare' => '!='
                         )
                 )
              );

$authors = get_users($args); // Get users satisfying our parameters

function cmp($a, $b){  //The function to order our authors
   if ($a->display_order == $b->display_order) {  //This is where the name of our custom meta key is entered, I named mine "order"
	    return 0;
    }
    return ($b->display_order > $a->display_order ) ? -1 : 1;  //The actual sorting is done here. Change ">" to "<" to reverse order
 }

 usort($authors, 'cmp');  //usort sorts our $users array with our function cmp()

A short code for this feature?

I made changes to the code as suggested as above, but not working to show the list tweets.
