Send a 'thank you' email to your blog's commenters.

== Description ==

Thank Me Later sends 'thank you' emails to your commenters. Simply write a message saying thanks and it will be emailed after a time of your choice -- 5 minutes, a day, a month, whenever!

*Latest Update (3.1): Link to unsubscribe from emails*.

Languages: Türkçe (tr_TR), 简体中文 (zh_CN), [Translate into your language](https://www.transifex.com/projects/p/thank-me-later/)

= Invite readers back to your blog =

Thank Me Later attracts readers back to your blog and asks them to check for replies to their comments. Other uses of the plugin include:

* Linking to your RSS feed to get more readers;
* Linking to your Twitter or Facebook pages to get more followers or likes; and
* Giving a discount for purchases.

= Features =

* **HTML emails**: write your email in text and it is changed into a HTML email with one click.
* **Shortcodes**: use shortcodes like [name] to make your emails more personal.
* **Targeting**: write emails for each category or post on your blog.

= Descriptions in other languages = 

* **tr_TR**: Sitenize yorum yazanlara 'Teşekkürler' maili ilet.

== Installation ==

To install, click 'Plugins' > 'Add New' from WordPress. Search 'thank me later' and click 'Install Now'.

(Alternatively, copy the contents of the `thank-me-later` directory into `/wp-content/plugins/thank-me-later/` and activate from the "Plugins" menu).

To get started, click 'Thank Me Later' from Wordpress (it's beneath the 'Settings' menu; not inside of it).

== Frequently Asked Questions ==

= Should I use the default settings? =

No. The default settings are generic. You should take time to write a message which offers some value -- for example, you may ask people to join you on Twitter or offer them a discount on their next purchase.

= How do I email a commenter just once? =

When writing your message, look under 'Schedule'. Set 'Maximum send limit' to 1. It is strongly recommended you make this change.

= My emails aren't sending on time. How do I fix this? =

If you have recently installed Thank Me Later, please wait 12 hours. On some installations of Wordpress, Thank Me Later is unable to schedule email sends correctly. Thank Me Later is able to detect this issue and will revert to "Legacy Mode" to send emails after 12 hours.

If emails are still not sending on time, your blog may not be receiving enough visits to send the emails -- emails are only sent on page loads. Possibly, caching is preventing the scheduled events from running. If you know what you are doing, you can create a cron job to call WP-Cron at regular intervals -- see [here](http://bitswapping.com/2010/10/using-cron-to-trigger-wp-cron-php/) for more details.

= Why does this plugin send me (the author) an email? =

This is by design. Emails are sent to all commenters, regardless of whether they are authors or readers. If the messages are annoying you, you probably haven't configured Thank Me Later correctly. Ensure you set 'Maximum send limit' to 1 to limit the number of emails that are sent to a particular commenter.
