Hey Mike!
Though the original poster didn’t care to respond, the points listed in your post are certainly helpful.
I’m experiencing a similar problem and I can’t figure it out.
Let me answer your questions…
On the Settings page (Dashboard > Settings > Email Users) there is a Test Notification message. Does that work?
Unfortunately not.
Also on the Dashboard are a couple of notification boxes on the upper right hand side which tell you if any of the filters which affect WordPress email are active – what do they report?
wp_mail_content_type: No
wp_mail_charset: No
wp_mail_from: No
wp_mail_from_name: Yes
The “Yes” comes from the following code in my functions.php, but when removed and “wp_mail_from_name” changes to “No” — It still doesn’t work.
function change_wp_mail_from_name($from_name){
return "CHOSEN_NAME_HERE";
}
add_filter("wp_mail_from_name", "change_wp_mail_from_name");
Email Users utilizes wp_mail(), the same mechanism WordPress itself uses to send email. Do you receive email from your WordPress site (user registration, comment notification, etc.)?
Yes. WordPress, BuddyPress and Contact Form 7 all send emails. Furthermore, I deactivated all plugins to see if they might be causing conflict. Still no dice.
How many users are you trying to run your test with? I recommend starting with one and once that works, try two or three.
I tried with 1 user and the Test Notification Message, neither worked.
Also, expected and actual do match.
Hopefully you can help me figure this one out! 🙂
Thanks in advance!
Dan
