    I have set
    iv-F 4 to required
    iv-F 5 to Admin and Owner
    iv-F5.3 to a short message
    iv F5.4 to a short header
    iv F10 is checked

    But no emails appear to be sent to either Admin or Owner is there some other setting I need to use..
    my other plugins are sending emails OK.
    Thanks in advance

    Robert

    jacob, I checked the log
    every mail fails with no diagnostic
    example, Err: on:29.03.2018 14:38:38: robwin68: Mail sending failed.

    This means that you configured wppa correctly.

    What i read in th wp_mail() function description ( https://developer.www.ads-software.com/reference/functions/wp_mail/ ):

    For this function to work, the settings SMTP and smtp_port (default: 25) need to be set in your php.ini file.

    and

    Having spent nearly a day banging my head against this one, I would strongly recommend that the doc for wp_mail() include the tip that many servers will require that a mail user account be created with the email address of [email protected] before this function will work. I would have NEVER figured that one out without many hours of google searches.

    Maybe this helps you…

    Sorry for not getting back to thank you sooner. but I am still having issues. It seems that some mail calls work from photo gallery and others don’t. in particular I am trying to get comments to email the uploader when a comment is made.
    This doesn’t work.. I see from my diagnostic tool the following

    mail() wp-photo-album-plus/wppa-comment-admin.php

    In a list of processes and their mail function

    I am not a programmer and i suppose a little knowledge gets me in trouble. but is it possible that the Comments mailing function is calling Mail() instead of WP-Mail()

    Jacob,
    I finally got it to work
    after a lot of trial and error, I found out the email was being sent from noreply@ mydomain address. So I simply added an email account for noreply@mydomain
    and suddenly everything worked…
    Many thanks for your hours of persaverence.
    Robert
