Emails do not send

    Hi,

    I have the free version of Simple Signup Form installed.
    I have designated to which email address the email addresses which sign up are sent to. Yet when I test it, no emails at all are ever received.

    I have already tried changing the code in settings.php like you mention in another forum post. That did not change anything.

    If this is something I have to contact my hosting service about, what exactly do I ask them? What is it that needs to be set up in order for this to work?

    Also, if this plugin DID work properly, what email address willing be sending the emails? In other words, who will it show that I received the emails from?

    Please help,

    Thank you

    I would take a look at using either of these plugins.

    Ah, so I need an SMTP hooked up to my wordpress before I can receive the emails? Is that a service which always costs money?

    @luke I tried uploading the Postman SMTP plugin and got this result:

    413 Request Entity Too Large
    nginx/1.6.2

    Yep you need an email account that is SMTP, you can use Gmail fine and use OAuth, then you do not have to have the email password stored on the site.

    That looks like you might just need to download, extract and manually upload the plugin into your plugin directory inside of wp-content by FTP.

    Hello,

    The plugin doesn’t use SMTP to sending mails, simply using the WordPress wp_mail() function. The sender automatically generated by the plugin, [email protected] where yourdomain.com replaced with your domain.

    If the emails doesn’t arrived, then you can contact with your hosting provider. They will see in the server log, what happened with the emails and what is the reason you didn’t receive them.

    In some cases, the hosting provider need a special header, like ‘-f’ flag, you can try out to modify the settings.php on line 184:

    if (wp_mail($form_options[35], ‘SUBSCRIPTION SIGNUP’, $body, $header, “-f” . $from_a)) $result = true;

    Hope this helps!

    Regards,
