go to the admin profile (your profile) under the USERS at wp-admin change/SET the settings
Thanks
I’m sorry I’m not sure where you are talking about?
I am in my wp admin account. I clicked on users and I see my own profile is that the correct place? If so I’m not sure what setting I’m looking for?
Assume my last msg null..
First of all >> go to the Settings
Check An administrator must always approve the comment!
and make a test comment to see if you receive email..
Ok I just tried that and did not receive an email.
does this a regular email?
have you checked the mails into the spam folder?
I want you to create a test page on your server.. (NOT IN WORDPRESS)
Open an editor like notepad and put the following code..
<?php
$to=’[email protected]’; //Put your email here
$subject=”testing phpmail”;
$message=”Hello World”;
echo mail($to,$subject,$message);
echo “
.Check your inbox and quote what you see before this line”;
?>
SAVE IT WITH “testmailer.php” and FTP it on the root of your hosting..
I’ve tried changing it to, two different emails with no success one is my domain email and one is my gmail account.
Yes I’ve checked spam and trash. Now the strange thing is I just noticed 5 comments came through at 10:55 when I was on the phone with hosting that I did not see come through until now but now it is not working again.
Is the root /home ? The very first folder?
If so I have put it there.
oh wait I have to change the coding LOL to my email
Ok if I have it in the right place I have put in my email address
BTW I put it at /home and then I also put it at public_html because I wasn’t sure which one you meant
I tried running it at http://www.shibleysmiles.com/testmailer.php and I see the
1 .Check your inbox and quote what you see before this line
However I did not get an email if I was suppose to get one.
please check your email spam folder!
well, it’s your server problem,
You see the “1” means it Returns TRUE if the mail was successfully accepted for delivery, FALSE or 0 otherwise.
It is important to note that just because the mail was accepted for delivery, it does NOT mean the mail will actually reach the intended destination.
Kindly contact your Hosting/System Admin about this issue.
Thank you I spent hours on the phone with them and they told me to email WP? SIGH
lastly try this code:
replace the line where it says:
echo mail($to,$subject,$message);
REPLACE WITH:
echo mail($to,$subject,$message, null, ‘[email protected]’);
Report if you still unable to receive the mail?

I began on 3.1 so I’ve never used another version.
All of a sudden 3/24 at 7pm I stopped getting notification emails from wordpress when someone comments on my blog.
My email is through google apps so I don’t know if that makes a difference. It is not a plugin because I have a test blog with no plugins and it also does not send out emails.
I have no idea why this just stopped.
