Tools, Status and WP-CLI Commands

When something doesn’t show up where you expect it, such as a mirrored campaign or a paid reader’s access, the first question is whether MailerHive has run at all. The answer is on one screen.

Newsletter → Settings → Tools & status shows what MailerHive is doing and gives you buttons to run each job now. The same jobs are available in WP-CLI.

Status

• MailerPress: its version, or “not active”.
• Consent policy module, FluentCart lifecycle module and Paid subscriptions module: “on”, “off” or “loaded from elsewhere”. The paid row also shows the next expiry check.
• Issues: how many issues you have from each source.
• Issue URLs: the address pattern for issues.
• Last campaign sync and Next scheduled sync: when MailerPress was last checked, what it found and when the next check runs.

Tools

• Sync MailerPress now: links drafted campaigns to their issues and publishes sent newsletters.
• Relink imported issues: points links between imported Substack issues at their local pages.
• Refresh permalinks: use it after changing the issue URL base, or when issue pages return 404.
• Re-detect settings: fills blank settings from the site and keeps every saved value.
• Import from Substack: covered in importing from Substack.
