can you try the dev version @ http://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/events-manager.zip ? also, dev version requires atleast wp 3.3 due to jquery update
it’s your mail settings, try changing that to one that works
When someone leaves a comment, I get an notification email, “Please moderate…” Can I get a notification email when the annonimous Event Form is subitted?
@longstreet
yes, if you allow anonymous event submissions and set Guest Default User.
Settings > General > Event Submission Forms
Thanks for the reply, agelonwl.
I assume you meant Events > Settings > Event Submission Forms.
I have designated the default user for the Events form and I am using the Event Submission Form annonimously online. It works fine. But, no notification email is sent to the General Setting email address or to the Event Submission Form default user. The normal Comment notification emails are working fine and they are sent to the WordPress General Settings email address.
@longstreet
can I know the user capability of the designated user? the admin should received an email with the subject like Submitted Event Awaiting Approval
Hi. Thanks for all your help guys. I’ve got it working now. It was down to the form sending option, which I changed to SMTP and it works fine now.
The Event Submission Form default user is an Administrator, if that matters. There must be some detail that I don’t relize is needed, because the notifications for the comments and replies are being sent without a problem.
if you try to set a different Guest Default User and uncheck user capability publish_events
it should work fine.
I set the Guest Default to a subscriber User and subscriber capabilities does not have publish_events checked. It is still not working.
I’m wondering if the problem is SSL. In the WordPress SMTP settings there is an option for SSL and I am using this with gmail. In Events SMTP there is no option that asks about SSL.
Try using WP Mail then, as it uses the same transport as WP in this case.
SSL works fine with EM and e.g. gmail.
I assumed that it “works fine” for someone people. I’m trying to determine why the exact same settings that work in WordPress settings for Comment notifications are not working in Events Manager for the Events form notifications. I don’t see that the Events Manager email setup page has any option for SSL. I think Events Manager is not able to use the same type of setup as WordPress or it would be using the WordPress settings that are working instead of its own setup.
Are you using WP Mail in EM or still SMTP?
It is now set on WP Mail using gMail. When I approve an annonimous Event entered through the Event form, an email is sent to the annonimous user email address and it is received saying that the Event has been approved. But, when the annonimous user submitted the Event form, no email was sent to the me saying that a new event had been submitted.
could it be your admin email has a blank subject line?
