Has this always been the case of has it suddenly started?
Well it has never works since we took over the company in July 2020. Whenever I add a new user they notify me they didn’t get an email. So then I have to send them the username and password.
This is probably an issue with your hosting providers email/phpmail settings. Some hosts do not provide good support for the phpmail function used by WordPress. I would suggest using a third party SMTP provider such as SendInBlue or SendGrid and then using the WPMail SMTP plugin to configure the SMTP provider to work with WordPress. https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-mail-smtp/
Hope this helps.
We use Dreamhost. I will look into this. Thanks!
Hey @binarywc it looks like we already have WP MAIL SMTP installed on our WP.
Is there some other place I can look for where this issue is coming from?
Happy to help anytime. That’s what the volunteer community is here for!
Is the plugin activated? If it is installed and activated yet you are still having the email issues chances are the plugin is probably not configured correctly. Dreamhost usually provides the right configuration for the email functionality that is built into WordPress to work without a plugin or SMTP service being necessary. Since you are using DreamHost I would suggest disabling the SMTP plugin (if it is enabled) and seeing if the problem goes away.
Hope this helps you a bit more than my earlier post.
It looks like the welcome emails are being sent. Thanks for your help!
