We recently installed Simple Press with out new Word Press web site as an upgrade from an old phpBB forum. After working out a lot of bugs from migrating our old database I'd like to send a mass e-mail letting everyone know that we are back up and running smoothly but I can't seem to find the key to doing this.
While I'm experienced with css web development and SQL queries, I am a complete noob to Word Press and Simple Press so go lightly with me.
Thanks!

I think your best bet is to take a look at the WordPress plugin repository for an email plugin of some sort - which, I believe, you should easily find. A good one will probably take care of this for you with ease - although I am afraid I have never looked for one so am unable to make any recommendation...

Hey Richard,
I completely understand how you feel with regards to WordPress, it's definitely far more complex than it first seemed to me!
There are two options here as far as I am aware.
The first is to use our private messaging plugin. With this you can PM entire usergroups, or PM all users. You should be able to setup a basic notification option within the plugin options to allow people to be notified, although they can then switch these notifications off in their profile.
The second is to use any WP plugin that has this capability. Essentially SP doesn't have members, they are all WP members so any WP plugin that can handle mass email should do the job. I think there is one called 'Newsletter' that might be worth checking out.
Hope that helps, do ask if you have any further questions!
