 * Nicolas, I do notice that I’m not able to use the password reset feature.

 * Thanks Nicolas – your rock for doing this. Hope it helps lots of Mandrill users!
 * The hook didn’t do the trick for me – but let me caveat that I my understanding
   of WP and php for that matter are as yet still weak.
 * I have a functions.php file in my /wp-content/themes/easynda folder based on 
   the twentytwelve theme. The only code in the file is:
 *     ```
       <?php 
   
       function wpbootstrap_scripts_with_jquery()
       {
       	// Register the script like this for a theme:
       	wp_register_script( 'custom-script', get_template_directory_uri() . '/bootstrap/js/bootstrap.js', array( 'jquery' ) );
       	// For either a plugin or a theme, you can then enqueue the script:
       	wp_enqueue_script( 'custom-script' );
       }
       add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'wpbootstrap_scripts_with_jquery' );
   
       if ( function_exists('register_sidebar') )
       	register_sidebar(array(
       		'before_widget' => '',
       		'after_widget' => '',
       		'before_title' => '<h3>',
       		'after_title' => '</h3>',
       	));
       ?>
       ```
   
 * To test your hook, I made sure that both wpMandrill and wpBetterEmails were activated,
   then inserted the hook as follows:
 *     ```
       <?php 
   
       function wpbootstrap_scripts_with_jquery()
       {
       	// Register the script like this for a theme:
       	wp_register_script( 'custom-script', get_template_directory_uri() . '/bootstrap/js/bootstrap.js', array( 'jquery' ) );
       	// For either a plugin or a theme, you can then enqueue the script:
       	wp_enqueue_script( 'custom-script' );
       }
       add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'wpbootstrap_scripts_with_jquery' );
   
       if ( function_exists('register_sidebar') )
       	register_sidebar(array(
       		'before_widget' => '',
       		'after_widget' => '',
       		'before_title' => '<h3>',
       		'after_title' => '</h3>',
       	));
   
       add_filter('mandrill_payload', 'wpbe_wpmandrill_compatibility');
       function wpbe_wpmandrill_compatibility( $message ) {
       	global $wp_better_emails;
       	$message['html'] = nl2br(make_clickable($message['html']));
       	$message['html'] = $wp_better_emails->esc_textlinks($message['html']);
       	$message['html'] = $wp_better_emails->set_email_template($message['html']);
       	$message['html'] = $wp_better_emails->template_vars_replacement($message['html']);
       	return $message;
       }
   
       ?>
       ```
   
 * Something didn’t go right though. With the hook in the file the site would not
   load at all. Just a blank page.
 * If I can help troubleshoot this for WPBE and other Mandrill users, let me know.

    I was able to create a template in my Mandrill account, then choose it within
   WP Mandrill and send a test message from WPM with the template; however, I’ve
   not found instructions for how to create a template the picks up the WP content
   and inserts it into the created template.
 * Are there instructions somewhere? A list of variables that pass the content into
   the template?

 * Nicholas,
    Thank you for replying! I understand that third party plugins have
   to use “wp_mail” native function. I found this in the WP Mandrill
 * >  Mandrill: How to send a regular email.
   > If you’re a Plugin Developer, and you need to send a regular email using wpMandrill,
   > you don’t need to learn anything else. You can use the good ol’ wp_mail function,
   > as you would normally do if you were not using this plugin.
   > For example:
   > `<?php wp_mail('your@address.com', 'Your subject', 'Your message'); ?>`
 * Does this mean Mandrill users can use your plug in?
    How would we go about doing
   so? Thanks, Crick
