Thanks but I don’t see how this issue has anything to do with the WP MAIL SMTP plugin.

Without your above code the email is sent to the email address in our settings for admin. with the above code installed nothing is received at the admin address or the email address we inserted in that function.

Thanks

Is there a way to do this if using the classic editor?

Thanks. I added the function you provided and made the change to our email address (below) but it doesn’t work. We don’t receive any email once I add this function. When I remove it, it again sends the notifications to the email address in the WP settings.

add_filter('wp_mail', 'custom_email', 10, 1);
function custom_email($wp_email) {	
	$wp_email['to'] = '[email protected]';
	return $wp_email;
}

We do use the plugin WP Mail SMTP which uses Google for the mailer. This works correctly with the User Submitted Posts plugin and sends their notifications to our address (as defined in the function above).

Any other thoughts?

I followed your instructions to try to change the image size and this appears to be part of the SMART add on. I can not type into any of those fields to make a change.

Or is there something else that must be done?

btw the images we are sending to both FB and Twitter are 144×144. They display correctly on FB but only show as a much larger (and distorted) image on twitter.

Hi thanks for your reply.

I still have two problems.

I removed the entries for FB and Twitter on the All in One plugin for Social networks so there should be no conflicts now.

The first is as I indicated before except this only happens on the FB posting now. The text is displayed twice and I can’t see where a change must be made to remove this. On the Twitter posting it only displays once.

The other issue I have is that on the Twitter posting it displays the correct text (once) followed by a link to the post’s page on our site and a large image instead of a thumbnail as is displayed on the FB posting. And the image is not a link to our page.

For some reason this worked correctly only one time (small picture to the left of the text) when I had the entries in the All in One plugin but I can not make it happen again even though I tried multiple settings in that plugin and finally removed all the settings there as I indicated above and still the Twitter posting displays text, a link followed by a large image.

Hi. Thanks for your reply.

I think I have the image issue addressed. We use the All In One SEO plugin and I was able to change the image/tags there.

But I still have a question as to why the post text appears twice on both the twitter and FB posts.

Here are a couple of screen shots of the twitter and fb posts. I changed the name of the site and images because we are still testing the actual site

thanks

While trying to figure this out I noticed the following.

I am not sure this is the correct location but I noticed that there is a field on the Social Meta Data tab for an image URL. But this field as well as the Title and Description fields can NOT be edited. and I am logged in as the admin.

Is this the field that must be changed to display a pic with the text of the post on FB and Twitter. If so how do I get into the field to enter the url for the image?

Thanks

The top of the page I am looking at has a status bar showing percentage and the following message

85%
SSL is activated on your site. You still have 3 tasks open.

I don’t see anywhere on the page where it shows what the 3 open items are.

Just figured it out. There is some conflict with the Advanced Custom Fields plugin.

We used it in the past but disabled it. Even though it was not active it seems to disable the ability to add new custom fields in that box.

I deleted the plugin and now there is an option that appears in the box right below the drop down list that allows you to add a new field.

I added the field and it works.

Thanks again for your time and quick response.

That’s very strange.

When I click on the Add button nothing happens unless I pick a field from the drop down list.

And we are on the latest version of WordPress.

That only works if you select a field from the drop down list.

You can’t add a new field.

Thanks but I don’t see that there is a way to add the custom field when editing the post.

The “Custom Fields” box only displays those custom fields that are already attached to the post. There is no add option.

The other box called “Add New Custom Field” provides a drop down list of available fields to add (and associated value) but there is no way to actually add a new custom field by adding the field’s name. And the custom field we added using the User Submitted Posts plugin does not appear in the drop down list.

Thanks.

One last question, for now.

When the custom field we added displays in the comments it includes the label for that field. We just want to output the text entered by the user without the label. How do we removed that? You can’t remove the Name field from the custom field we added on the form, it is also used for the placeholder.

Thanks

Thanks again. That worked

What about the other questions?

Also we noticed that when we change the background colors the small icons next to the post comment button disappear. So I assume css for those needs to be changed too. What are the names of those icons for the CSS changes?

And one more question. What are the meta field names for the placeholders for Name, email address and comment field?

Please forget the question about your css for the placeholder.

We realized that we had to change the

custom_field_622eefbb1afca-0_0

to

our custom field-0_0

and it worked
