Hi @dansart,
Indeed! I focused on the main features but not “that” dashboard. I will fix it now! Do you mind making a little list of the issues or… imperfections? 😊
Hi @tigroumeow
Thanks for the fast reply.
Just a few little things. Not sure if they need fixing…
– No email logging when no provider is selected. It seems to be intentional, but I cannot see why…
– Password field shows a button to show the password, but it does not
– No error message in the settings menu when wrong SMTP credentials
Let me reply to all this! 😊
1. Logging with no provider selected. You are right, and I was wrong to make it work that way. From the next version, Meow Mailer stays out of the delivery path when no provider is selected, exactly as before, but it now records what WordPress sends on its own. Those entries show up in the log marked “WordPress”. So you get the log from the moment you activate it, without changing how anything is sent.
2. The password reveal button. Good catch! The button works, there is simply nothing behind it: a saved secret is never sent back to your browser, so what sits in that field is a row of bullet characters, and revealing them showed you the same bullets. It looked broken because it effectively was. Fixed in next version too.
3. Wrong SMTP credentials. There is an error message, but only when you send a test email. Put an address in the test field under the provider settings and press Send Test, and the mail server’s actual response comes back as a red message. Saving on its own does not check the credentials, which I suspect is what you ran into. I did not want to make saving talk to your mail server every time, since it would fail confusingly while you are half way through typing. The test is the reliable check, because it exercises the whole path rather than just the login.
Thanks again for the report, I am releasing the new version right now! 😋
