HI,
I noticed that the plugin no longer no longer sends emails for me, neither in PHP 8.3 nor in PHP 7.4. I tried reinstalling the plugin from the blog and changing my email but to no avail. Consequently, offline notification doesn't work either, although it doesn't display any anomalies (Everything OK
Have any of you encountered the same problem?
many thanks for any comments

Hi
The plugin CONTACT under php 7.4 works perfectly.
I just checked it.

Late reply...
Actually I can confirm that contact also runs with PHP 8.3.
But I noticed, that sending e-mails depends to the used e-mail program.
I am using ssmtp and needed to modify one line:
Original:
Code: Select all
if(mail($to, "Webpage comment", $emailText, $headers)){
Modified:
Code: Select all
if(mail($to, $subject, $emailText)){
This works perfectly in my test site.
At origin site I cant use the plugin because I cant install any mail program at host (missing permissions - it is a hosted web space).
Regards

thanks for reply
for my opinion the problem is not only a plugin problem but due to one of the recent structural changes of the template: I also noticed that it does not even send offline notifications anymore (it worked well some time ago)
tnx & regards

Actually I never did use this at my live site, I just added the cron job to my test site and stopped updating.
A few minutes later offline notification dropped in.
Starting updating again the online mail receives within 1 minute.
So works as designed.
Regards
Edit: can you send mails from hosts CLI?

Hallo Frank
nothing to do, it's a problem of mine that I can't solve.
I can send and receive mails from my host's mail server but I can't start them from the template.
if I run the Test Email from the main setup it says: 'Test email has been sent. Close this tab and wait if it arrives' but nothing arrives...
