Emails can be tricky to troubleshoot because there are many things involved. A first step would be to use the following plugin to see if emails are working in general on your site:

Also, to approve posts, do I just go into the post and click “publish”?
Yep that’s how to approve a post.
Hey guys thanks for the swift reply. I downloaded the check email plugin and I tested my email and I didnt receive one. However, I did receive an email from my “contact us” page form.
Any idea whats going on?
Like I said, there are lots of variables involved with sending/receiving emails. For example the issue could be with:
- server software
- WordPress, plugins, theme
- hosting limitations
- email recipient
- anti-spam stuff
- firewalls, etc.
So I don’t even dare to guess.. you will need to do like many others including myself have had to do before: troubleshoot to determine the cause of the issue. Good luck.
Thanks for the reply guys and the help guys. Loving the plug in other than that minor issue!
Glad to help! And for the sake of others reading, the “send email alert” functionality works fine in most cases — it all depends on the setup, just FYI.
