I’m not sure out of those two because until the problem I had auto updates turned on for Mailpoet. * After the problem I did a rollback to version 3.79.0 and could immediately send out emails again using the SMTP settings. The only thing that I changed to get emails sending was the Mailpoet version. * Please let me know if you solve the problem because I would like to turn on automatic updates again for Mailpoet. * Thanks allanit * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Block Referer Spam] Call to undefined function](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/call-to-undefined-function-30/) * Thread Starter [allanit](https://wordpress.org/support/users/allanit/) * (@allanit) * [7 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/call-to-undefined-function-30/#post-10845577) * This Problem persists. * So far a new version has not come through.

I am still having a bit of a problem with this because when I test turning on and off the “Do not allow users to login from the WordPress login page. Note: You must select an alternate login page.” checkbox it does not work like the description describes. * If I un-select the “Do not allow users to login from the WordPress login page. Note: You must select an alternate login page.” checkbox when the log in link on the page is clicked the user is taken to WP login and not the PR Login page. Which is what I would expext. * However when the “Do not allow users to login from the WordPress login page. Note: You must select an alternate login page.” checkbox IS selected the user is presented with a broken link (that is trying to go the the first blog post, but does not work) instead of going to the page selected on the PR menu > Settings > Pages page. * I think if “Do not allow users to login from the WordPress login page. Note: You must select an alternate login page.” checkbox IS selected then the user should be directed to the alternate login page created and selected in PR when the log in link is clicked. Please correct me if I am wrong? * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Participants Database] Data not showing up in mailchimp](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/data-not-showing-up-in-mailchimp/) * Thread Starter [allanit](https://wordpress.org/support/users/allanit/) * (@allanit) * [8 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/data-not-showing-up-in-mailchimp/#post-9788342) * Ok that all worked. I could be wrong but I don’t remember anything in the documentation a saying not to put the email in the merger field so can you please add it when you get a chance. * Also thanks for your help I really appreciate it. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Participants Database] Data not showing up in mailchimp](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/data-not-showing-up-in-mailchimp/) * Thread Starter [allanit](https://wordpress.org/support/users/allanit/) * (@allanit) * [8 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/data-not-showing-up-in-mailchimp/#post-9784824) * yes * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Participants Database] merge fields defined in the settings](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/merge-fields-defined-in-the-settings/) * Thread Starter [allanit](https://wordpress.org/support/users/allanit/) * (@allanit) * [8 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/merge-fields-defined-in-the-settings/#post-9762277) * Yes I have seen that type of problem before so I sit with an open gedit. Copy whatever past in to gedit then copy it out of gedit nothing hidden left behind. * However I have solved my problem and it was all to do with the date field mismatch between Participants Database and mailchimp. Which I describe over here * [https://wordpress.org/support/topic/how-do-i-tell-if-webhooks-is-working/](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/how-do-i-tell-if-webhooks-is-working/) * Once I removed the date field form mail chimp it all started to work. I thought this was two issues and it turned out to be one. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Participants Database] How do I tell if webhooks is working?](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/how-do-i-tell-if-webhooks-is-working/) * Thread Starter [allanit](https://wordpress.org/support/users/allanit/) * (@allanit) * [8 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/how-do-i-tell-if-webhooks-is-working/#post-9762173) * My mistake. It did save into the database just fine but when I did a filtered search for say 15/04 I got the following message so I changed the / for a – * Warning: preg_grep(): Unknown modifier ‘0’ in /home/folder/domains/mysite.com/ public_html/wp-content/plugins/participants-database/classes/PDb_FormElement. class.php on line 793 Warning: current() expects parameter 1 to be array, boolean given in /home/folder/domains/mysite.com/public_html/wp-content/plugins/participants- database/classes/PDb_FormElement.class.php on line 793 * Despite the warning above the correct information was returned I just did not think my users would like the warning. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Participants Database] How do I tell if webhooks is working?](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/how-do-i-tell-if-webhooks-is-working/) * Thread Starter [allanit](https://wordpress.org/support/users/allanit/) * (@allanit) * [8 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/how-do-i-tell-if-webhooks-is-working/#post-9756833) * OK. I solved it. I found another post where you told that person to add debugging to the wp-config.php file. When I added the debugging and started to read the log I discovered that the problem was one of my fields. * In this database there is a field called birthday consisting of DD-MM because I was unable to get DD/MM to save in Participants Database but over at mailchimp it recognized the field as a date but would not accept DD-MM it wants it to be DD/MM. * However for this particular list I don’t need the birthday Field at all over at mailchimp so I deleted it and it seems to be working now. If you could figure out how to get DD/MM to save it will be useful in the future. * Again thanks for the great plugin. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Participants Database] How do I tell if webhooks is working?](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/how-do-i-tell-if-webhooks-is-working/) * Thread Starter [allanit](https://wordpress.org/support/users/allanit/) * (@allanit) * [8 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/how-do-i-tell-if-webhooks-is-working/#post-9755266) * It is still going to the home page so something is still not working properly. * Dose the webhook need to have the authentication working at mailchimp with the cname record in bind and be populated across the internet? or am I grasping at straws? * The reason I ask (and this is something that you may like to add to your fantastic documentation) is that until about 40 hours ago I was having problems getting authentication to work. After a long couple of days searching I found the answer for my srever. * In mailchimp’s and your documentation it said to create a cname record k1._domainkey. mydomain.com. with the value dkim.mcsv.net. it turns out the cname record had to be k1._domainkey. with a value dkim.mcsv.net. with out mydomain.com. Once I changed the cname record the authentication screen at mail chimp immediately worked. * So if the problem I am having is to do with dns population then I have to give it a bit more time. Otherwise Do you have any suggestions to get it working. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Participants Database] merge fields defined in the settings](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/merge-fields-defined-in-the-settings/) * Thread Starter [allanit](https://wordpress.org/support/users/allanit/) * (@allanit) * [8 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/merge-fields-defined-in-the-settings/#post-9755260) * I have double checked they are the same. Also when I creates them I copied and pasted the field names in Participants Database and the merge fields from mailchimp I did not retype them. Could this be a nds cname record population issue like I suggested in my other post? * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Participants Database] merge fields defined in the settings](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/merge-fields-defined-in-the-settings/) * Thread Starter [allanit](https://wordpress.org/support/users/allanit/) * (@allanit) * [8 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/merge-fields-defined-in-the-settings/#post-9745038) * I changed the string to * email:MERGE0,first_name:MERGE1,last_name:MERGE2,birthday:MERGE3,title:MERGE4, mailing_list:MERGE5 * but still got got the warning. The fields above are the only fields at Mailchimp. Of cause there are many more in the database. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Participants Database] merge fields defined in the settings](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/merge-fields-defined-in-the-settings/) * Thread Starter [allanit](https://wordpress.org/support/users/allanit/) * (@allanit) * [8 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/merge-fields-defined-in-the-settings/#post-9745010) * Here is the configuration string just in case you can see something I cant. * email:EMAIL,first_name:FNAME,last_name:LNAME,birthday:BIRTHDAY,title:MMERGE4, mailing_list:MMERGE5 * But I will also try the series name like MERGE1. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Participants Database] How do I tell if webhooks is working?](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/how-do-i-tell-if-webhooks-is-working/) * Thread Starter [allanit](https://wordpress.org/support/users/allanit/) * (@allanit) * [8 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/how-do-i-tell-if-webhooks-is-working/#post-9744886) * Ahhh!! For some reason I thought “Synchronizes participant signups and updates with your MailChimp account.” would disappear when the connection was made. Thanks for the clarification. * When I try to open the web hook address in the browser I don’t get any of the things you mention it just goes to the sites home page. Is that a problem? * PS Thanks again for your great help. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Participants Database] How do I tell if webhooks is working?](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/how-do-i-tell-if-webhooks-is-working/) * Thread Starter [allanit](https://wordpress.org/support/users/allanit/) * (@allanit) * [8 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/how-do-i-tell-if-webhooks-is-working/#post-9744667) * Additional information. I was wondering if there was a problem with another plugin so I disabled all other plugins and ran through the process above again but no luck. Also I thought there may be a problem with the Webhook at Mailchimp so I deleted the one there and created it again with out any change. * Am I correct it assuming that if the “Synchronizes participant signups and updates with your MailChimp account.” message shows up then the Synchronization is not working properly or does that message stay at the top of the screen permanently?
