 * Hi there,
 * I’m trying to set up a small quiz for my office, it should be hosted locally 
   on my computer. For this I installed easyphp, wordpress and tried 2 plugins for
   handling the quiz itself (wp pro quiz and quiz master next). Everything is working
   fine except the email function, on both.
 * Do they have have to be hosted on internet to work or can it be done just locally
   as i’m trying to do?
 * Things i tried already:
    -switching back to default theme (sixteen) -De-activating
   all other plugins -Tried on both firefox 46.0.1 and chrome 50.
 * I am an absolute beginner with wordpress and any help would be extremely appreciated
   as i need it done asap.
 * I am using wordpress 4.5.2
    OS : windows 7 home premium x64

 * I would try using a plugin like [WP Mail SMTP](https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-mail-smtp/)
   to send your emails. Here’s a good article with instructions on how to use it
   on localhost.
 * [How to Receive WordPress Emails from Localhost](http://www.wpbeginner.com/plugins/how-to-receive-wordpress-emails-from-localhost/)
 * I would try it. Hopefully it’ll work.

 * Thank you for your answer, i found the solution a couple of hours ago using exactly
   the same plugin, it’s working perfectly now.
