I also use the Divi theme and I believe it doesn’t set the From email to what the user entered, but only sets the
reply-toheader. Took us a minute to figure that out, but if you reply to the email, it should go to the person who sent it.But bottom line, nothing to do with the plugin, it’s all on the Divi side.
Those warnings are most likely from the PHPMailer class which is shipped with WordPress. There’s nothing using mcrtyp() in the plugin itself.
Bottom line, yes, compatible with PHP 7.

In reply to: [Swell Lite] Persistent nags breach WP.org guidelines@jdembowski: Awesome, thanks for posting the example code. 🙂
@organicthemes: Even more awesome, thanks for taking care of that. I think the notices are fine, no harm, just they need to be dismissable. At least, that’s how I read the WP rules.
@sc0ttkclark: Apologies, just saw your message now. Thanks for the chaser @hortons-art.
It’s not obvious to me that we should set
SMTPAutoTLStofalse. It looks like at some point PHPMailer changed it’s default behaviour at some point. If folks are relying on that today (the plugin is in use on over 500k sites) it would be a breaking change to change that.It looks like currently, there’s no way to completely disable SSL. I guess we could add a “disabled” option alongside the existing SSL options. If that is set, we could disable this.
Anyone fancy submitting a PR?

In reply to: [JSON API] Can I get the featured image from the API?Looks like the problem was described here. There’s some incompatibility between installing WordPress in a different directory and returning thumbnails in the JSON API. Having moved WordPress to the root, I now get non
nullvalues forthumbnail.Forum: Plugins
In reply to: [JSON API] Can I get the featured image from the API?OK, they are the same thing. So I guess the issue I’m seeing is that my
thumbnailfield isnull. Will close this and investigate.Forum: Plugins
In reply to: [JSON API] Can I get the featured image from the API?Aha, maybe it’s supposed to be in the
thumbnailfield, but I’m getting a blank value in my JSON for a post which has a_thumbnail_idvalue set in mywp_postmetatable. Will close this thread if I can figure out whetherthumbnailis in fact the “featured image”.Closing topic.
This has been asked and requested many times on the plugin’s support page. It is a very bad idea, and will not be implemented.
If the connection timed out, then there’s something stopping WordPress from reaching Gmail’s server. If you didn’t change anything when the error occurred, it was most likely caused by something to do with your host’s environment, firewall or otherwise.
@eitanc: I think you said you can send mail without authentication on the test form. Try sending the message to a different domain, so if you’re using gmail, send to yahoo, or if you’re not using gmail, send to gmail. If you send mail to yourself with your own mailserver, it’ll probably always accept it, with or without authentication.
Maybe your config allows you to send email to yourself (so WordPress emails to you would work) but emails to other places won’t.
Which plugin has a bizarre security corner case?
You know it worked in the past, you don’t know that every other piece of the system has not changed. Maybe your mailserver changed settings, maybe your hosting provider blocked a port, there are any number of possibilities as to what the cause of the issue might be. If you can roll back to 3.6.x and it works, you’ve likely identified the cause of the issue. But simply stating “it used to work, it doesn’t now”, is not the same thing.
@cyberster: Did you find a solution? If you tried with a previous WP version and it works, but does not work with 3.7.1, please let me know which version works and I’ll look into it further. I also recommend contacting your mail provider to verify if their setup has changed at all.
Try changing back to that version of WordPress, see if it works. Did you upgrade the other plugins? This is all outside of the scope of WP Mail SMTP. The plugin appears to be working as expected…
I can send with or without authentication, local or remote server. This plugin only activates features built into WordPress, it doesn’t do anything to actually send the emails.
Was the plugin working for you on previous versions of WordPress?
