wp-config settings do not work

    For security reasons I have tried setting the smtp mail account passwords in the wp_config file, as the plugin suggests.

    Unfortunately, the plugin is then no longer able to send emails using that account. I have tested multiple times, ensure password has no typos, ensured password is changed/updated on the mail server, etc but nothing works.

    As soon as I switch back to having the password stored ‘in plain text’ the mail sending works without a hitch.

    I’m running the latest version of the plugin with latest version of WordPress on a multisite.

    Hi,

    Email sending using constants on subsites on Multisite is not supported at this time. This will be fixed in the next 1.4 release (no ETA though).

    Hi Slava,

    If I were to create a text record for the subdomain and use its own email address would that work?

    Example..the primary domain is Narrativeatlas.org…and we use [email protected]

    For our subdomain, which will eventually replace our primary domain, we use learn.narrativeatlas.org and [email protected] for notifications.
    Notifications do work when we leave the wp-config on True at present

    Last question – When our new subdomain is ready to go and replaces our primary….Should the plugin funtion properly or will we need to ensure the subdomain is installed as a primary instead of just pointing the URL to the index install folder?
