    Is the SendGrid WP plugin compatible with WP 4.2.2? I upgraded to 4.2.2 and it stopped working.

    It does send a test email from the WP admin panel, but it does not send the email from the quote form on the website. It was working fine before I upgraded WP.

    The emails are not ending up in the spam folder. The emails are not showing in the list of emails in the SendGrid “Email Activity” page. There are no page errors or JS errors.

    Everything was working great until I updated WP to 4.2.2. The SendGrid plugin was failing silently. No error messages. My client lost about 15 quote-request leads the afternoon I upgraded WP. It was urgent to find a solution that worked immediately. I was hoping for a quick reply. 3 weeks to reply makes it look like support is an afterthought.

    It appears a function was removed from WP. I had to add this missing function to change the email into an HTML email.

    function set_html_content_type( $content_type ) {
    return “text/html”;
    }

    Then after I clean the inputs for spam and hacking activity, I send the email:

    add_filter(‘wp_mail_content_type’, ‘set_html_content_type’);
    wp_mail( $sendto, $subject, $message, $headers );
    remove_filter(‘wp_mail_content_type’, ‘set_html_content_type’);

    My understanding is that SendGrid plugin takes control of sending emails from the wp_mail() function. It does’t really matter what code comes before or after wp_mail(), SendGrid is going to send the email instead of the website, and that’s what I want.

    But still, with the missing function added in, SendGrid didn’t work. No matter what I tried, I could not get SendGrid to work again. I probably spent 12 hours identifying the problem and trying to get it working again. I deactivated SendGrid plugin and installed and activated the MailChimp for WordPress plugin and it worked perfectly.

    Also, I could see my emails (from the quote request form) going through SendGrid. They were listed in the log of emails sent, but I would never receive any email. I tested a bunch of different email addresses and checked the spam folder and they never arrived. I was nowhere near the daily limit of emails sent. Then I would send a test email from the SendGrid setting page inside WP admin and I would get the test email immediately. Totally weird. Makes no sense.

    I’m going to mark this topic as resolved because it appears that nobody else is having this problem.
