globalrec.org is not sending emails #38

Closed numeroteca closed 7 years ago

I think there must be an error in the configuration as the wordpress in globalrec.org is not sending emails (for example when creating one user in the network). How can I test this?

We changed the configuration for the Newsletter plugin (and it works!!) but I haven't changed the settings for the Wordpress installation. Should I follow this http://maisonbisson.com/post/12939/using-wordpress-with-external-smtp-server/, for example or better use a plugin to prevent loses when upgrading WP?

The problem seems to be in Simple hosting instance: phpmailer is not sending mail. If you check logs there is no problem apparently but emails are not sent.

I have tested phpmailer from inside WordPress using contact form and also from outside, using PHP directly. No emails were sent.

So I decided to use SMTP directly, the way we do with newsletters.

WordPress is sending emails again. I have installed WP Mail SMTP and config WP to send email using Montera34 SMTP.

Thanks! I am adding the same plugin and configuration to the dev website.
