Thanks Julius. I appreciate the heads up… even if I am a bit late in responding.

I’ve added your suggestion to the latest commit.

Hi There,

I do check the forum out every now and then, but I don’t ever get notices when someone posts so it can be somewhat erratic.

Anyway, to answer your question. What you are looking for is possible, but it’s outside of the scope of this plugin. I’d recommend looking into incorporating something like MailChimp onto the site. This would allow your client more customization in this arena.

Excellent.

Thank you!

Oh, I think I was noticing that earlier. I was having trouble going directly into the plugin page and sending a test. I had to update options first and then it would allow me to send tests.

I’ve known the options page has needed an update for a little while now, but I just haven’t had the time to do so.

I’m glad to hear it’s working for you otherwise. ^_^

When I originally developed the plugin, either WordPress, or Hostmonster (my hosting provider), prevented me from sending email from addresses that were not set up and local. No matter what I tested, if the account was not setup locally I would always see emails, from the server, coming from an @host.hostmonster.com address. On a whim, on two separate servers (different hosting companies), I tested sending from various email addresses including ones locally setup, ones not setup but using the same domain, my personal gmail address, an address on a remote domain I don’t own and didn’t check to see if it exists, and finally a random string of text. Only on the last did I encounter any issues, and that was only to show the email coming form that Hostmonster account.

I guess that restriction no longer exists.

As to why you would no longer receive emails after having the account set up… I’m at a loss. There’s no reason I can think of why a local account would prevent emails being sent.

Is the email address you’re trying to use an account that’s setup on the server? If not the plugin will not redirect properly.

For example: If I want to send from [email protected], if I do not have the account setup, emails will be sent from [email protected]. After the account is setup, emails will be sent from [email protected].

I hope this helps.

@padfoot Glad to hear that this worked out for you!

@jswelt Are you using a current version of WordPress (2.8+)? the register_setting() function is a build in function and if it’s saying it’s undefined I don’t know that I can help.
