No Email Notification

  1. Hi, I was previously getting an email notification, but when I rebuilt my site, this stopped working.

    Any ideas why?

    Are the entries being marked as spam? Also when you rebuilt your site did you remove any plugins?

    Two of my clients are having the same problem, they get the notifications from PayPal but they never through the program.

    Gravity Forms doesn't actually send the emails, your web server must be configured to send email or a wordpress SMTP plugin must be installed and correctly configured.

    In the test stage for both of these clients when I would send a test order I always got an email of the order. All I did was change the email address of who to send the email to.

  6. Who are you hosting with? and is the email you changed it to on a domain that is hosted by the same hosting service?

  7. Hi.
    No, no spam.
    Did I remove plugins...maybe one or two....but not sure why that would affect the mail delivery..

    Sorry for the delay....it is my own configured email...maybe I need to speak with my server guy.

  8. It's almost always configuration of the form, the content of the submission, the host, the server that sends mail if it's a different machine, the receiving server, and even the email client.

    We have had the best luck with the WP Mail SMTP plugin and an external authenticated SMTP server.
