 * Hi [@fa310tx](https://wordpress.org/support/users/fa310tx/), really sorry for
   the slow turnaround here!
 * That error means that something has failed on the **wp_mail()** function that
   caused the notification not to be sent. 
 * In this case, I suggest checking with your hosting provider to see if they have
   disabled the wp_mail() function on your server. If it’s disabled, please have
   them enable it.
 * Kindly note that WordPress plugins, in general, only generates the emails, but
   delivery is up to your mailing server. WP has different email delivery methods:
   PHP Mail or an SMTP server. By default, WP uses the PHP Mail method unless you
   configure SMTP to handle your emails.
 * We wrote a helpful guide on how you can troubleshoot email delivery issues [here](https://help.solidwp.com/hc/en-us/articles/22902157827739-Diagnosing-Email-Deliverability-Problems-in-WordPress).
 * Hope this helps, and let us know how it goes.

 * Hello,
 * Just wanted to swing by here to see if you still need help.
 * Tracking notifications on this forum can become tricky over time, and since we
   haven’t received a response, I’ll mark this post resolved.
