Automatically send scheduled email digests to admins — summarising new posts, comments, user registrations, and WooCommerce orders.

== Description ==

Smart Digest WP 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? =

• Small business owners who want a daily summary without logging in every day
• Editorial teams that need a weekly roundup of new content
• WooCommerce store managers who want order summaries emailed to them
• Agencies managing client sites who need a scheduled activity report

= Privacy =

Smart Digest WP does not collect, transmit, or share any data with external services. All email is sent via your site's existing wp_mail() function.

== Installation ==

1. Upload the smart-digest-wp folder to /wp-content/plugins/.
2. Activate the plugin through Plugins → Installed Plugins in WordPress admin.
3. Go to Settings → Smart Digest to configure recipients, frequency, and content sections.
4. Click Send Test Now to verify everything works.

That's it — the plugin schedules itself automatically on activation.

== Frequently Asked Questions ==

= Does it require a paid account or API key? =

No. Smart Digest WP 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_options table. Uninstalling the plugin via Plugins → Delete removes all stored options cleanly.
