– downgrade PHP to 7.2 (and delete this code snippet) OR
– upgrade PHP to 7.4 (and keep this code snippet) THEN
– upgrade to WordPresss 5.5 when it comes out (and delete this code snippet) ??

Same here, downgraded from PHP 7.4 to PHP 7.2 and mail sending now works!

In case someone else stumbles upon this and saves hours or days of work, some info:
– Contact From 7 was not sending emails
– wp error log was empty
– used WP Mail Logging to try and find the issue -> it gave the error message “Invalid address: (setFrom)” -> I found this thread.

Thank you guys!

Thanks for your reply! Ah, I just haven’t seen it like this yet (must’ve been different settings), and was surprised. So thanks for the info!

Thank you for your replies. Esp. the answers to “Where’s the code editor” and “Where did all the settings go”. THB I did not have the console up at the time. Now that you mention it, I will next time.

But, if some part did not work properly in a totally standard shared hosting environment, however will they work for the multitude of users out there (who don’t necessarily know what the console is even)?

Fortunately (!), I have too much work to even return to it in the near future. Would be interested in following and maybe contributing to the development of this editor (on the long run), but so few hours to do it in.

For now, I’ve enforced to turn off upgrades on all our main multisite systems, (thank god WP has a constant for this) and have been monitoring plugin upgrades closely. I’ll also try the Typo3 CMS as an alternative.

I still stand by my opinion: it is a riky and unreliable undertaking.
