e-mail, redirect, authors website.

    Hi,

    Wonderful simple plugin! But…

    1. The e-mails both “to” and “from” truly do not work. The fact that it uses WP function does not explain it. There are many, many plugins which use the same WP factions and they do work. I have tried @gmail, exchange, etc. Does not send e-mails.

    2. Because of a very good feature to be able to redirect to external site, when one works in the sandbox, one has to remember to specify the IP address, not the sandbox local name.

    3. You have wealth of info on how to customize the plugin, but your website is not currently working. I know it is a little bit of work, but it would be nice if you could copy and paste into this forum: main Q&A on customization (like the one about color and style) description (code) to tie us over until you get your site up.

    Thanks.

    Thanks I am happy you enjoy the plugin and that you are finding it a valuable resource.

    1). You can can change the from email in the options area. The from name is set to the website’s name. See for an e.g. from my localhost test site sent to google mail: https://picpaste.com/Screen_Shot_2015-01-28_at_10.11.09_AM-0RGNQYI9.png

    1.2. the main reason I use the wp_mail() function is so the plugin plays well with other wordpress plugins such as wpMandrill, very helpful if your web server cannot support email. https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/wpmandrill/.

    2). Okay, not sure what you need here. I develop on MAMP and have not had that issue but if it’s a test server I don’t see the problem. Perhaps you could expound.

    3). Yes I am currently working on moving my websites. it’s been a bumpy ride so far.

    I don’t see a support question here so I am marking this resolved. I will make a note of you points as the first one (From Name) is already on a new features list.

    Have a good day!

    Hi,

    Here is what I need now.

    1. The e-mail from the plugin does not work. I tried several different addresses both for from and to (pop,gmail,exchange) – nana.

    2. I would like to change the color/style of the button and text in the plugin. How do I do it?
    Would you please paste the relevant explanation here, since I cannot get to your website.

    Thanks.

    James.

    Hi James the email may not work because your server is not configured to send emails using the PHP mail function that WordPress ties into via its wp_mail function.

    If you’re on a local host testing server this maybe where the issue lies. I am not a server wiz but I am sure someone else has run in to this before.

    If you don’t want to bother with sever settings have a look at point 1.2 of my last reply to you. Also I know I have covered this subject here in the support forums before.

    I would like to change the color/style of the button and text in the plugin. How do I do it?
    Would you please paste the relevant explanation here, since I cannot get to your website.

    I do have an extra available for this it will be on https://www.beforesite.com as soon as I get a handle on my own hosting issues.

    Cheers!

    Greenweb,

    I have to apologize for all my comments about the e-mail function. Sorry. It was all my doing.

    But if you could paste the code for the changing of style/color in your reply – would be nice.

    Thanks again.

    James.
