In reply to: How To Activate a jquery ui dialogHola dorich,
Do you speak the Doric by the way? 🙂
No worries. I resolved my own issue. Turns out that the ui dialog css files are not included in 3.0.4, but they are in trunk. I was looking at trunk on my machine and 3.0.4 on the server, DOH! 🙂

In reply to: How To Activate a jquery ui dialogDid you get it working in the end?
Have you tried using the ui.dialog.js that ships with WordPress? You could probably drop your wp_register_script() and use wp_enqueue_scrtip(‘jquery-ui-dialog’); instead. That will cue up jquery and all the other dependencies also.
I’ve got that part working, but for the life of me I can’t get the CSS to load properly with wp_enqueue_style(‘wp-jquery-ui-dialog’). It just doesn’t seem to work…

I don’t understand your question. I am the plugin author, if you can give me some more information, maybe I can help you.
To be clear, this plugin is not about a mailing list, signup, or anything else. It only makes a technical change to the way email is sent by WordPress. If you’re not familiar with SMTP and you’re not having an email problem with your site, you probably don’t need this plugin.
Love & joy – Callum.
Really weird, sorry to hear about your issues. The plugin works fine on hundreds (maybe thousands?) of other servers.
Can you see anything in the PHP error logs?

In reply to: Custom e-mails…The code I posted is enough to modify any outgoing email. The challenge is, what do you want to do with emails? Which emails do you want to modify? How will you identify an email to modify? What changes do you want to make?
If you’re talking about simple search / replace, the code I posted is enough. If you’re talking about something more complicated, there’s no getting away from it, you’ll need to figure out exactly what you want changed and how it’s going to be changed.

In reply to: Custom e-mails…Are you familiar with PHP? You could write something to do this like:
add_filter('wp_mail', 'your_mail_hacking_function'); function your_mail_hacking_function($vars) { $vars['message'] = str_replace('search', 'replace', $vars['message']); return $vars; }See wp_mail() in pluggable.php for more info.

For anyone finding this in the future, this conversation moved to the plugin support page, you can see the dialog here:
http://www.callum-macdonald.com/2008/12/12/wp-mail-smtp-v08/comment-page-5/#comment-51742This is the most commonly asked question on the plugin support page. It’s an issue with PHP settings around fopen().
I’m not sure what to suggest. The plugin doesn’t actually affect the SMTP transaction directly. It tells PHPMailer how to handle the transactions. I’ve had many, many reports of the plugin (and I use it myself) so I’m very confident the code is good.
Perhaps there’s an issue with the mail server that’s not working for you, or the username / password you’re using, or maybe something else even more wonky is going on.
Try switching to another mail server that supports authentication (I don’t think GoDaddy does) and see if that works. If it does, I’d say the problem’s with the tmdhosting mail server.
Love & joy – Callum.
As I understand it, GoDaddy blocks outgoing traffic on port 25. That means if you’re using a GoDaddy server, you can only send mail through the GoDaddy SMTP relay. Access to all other SMTP servers is blocked to prevent spamming.
The log you posted indicates that the username is not valid on the server. The user is being sent, but it’s being rejected by the SMTP server. If WordPress is installed on a GoDaddy server, I believe you’ll have to use their SMTP relay to send all mail from WordPress.
Do you have any other plugins installed? Which version of WordPress are you using?
How did you decide that the two options have been reversed?
I’d prefer to exchange here at first, using email only for confidential stuff (lists of plugins, logs, etc).
Love & joy – Callum.
Hola Steve,
I’m the plugin author. I haven’t seen any reports of this problem. Can you activate other plugins? How about the “Hello Dolly” plugin?
You could try deleting the wp-content/plugins/wp-mail-smtp directory and re-uploading the plugin.
I’m a little short on suggestions. I think the problem lies outside of the wp-mail-smtp code, but I’m not sure where exactly.
Love & joy – Callum.
Yes, it’s normal. It’s not a problem. Ideally, it would not appear, but I haven’t yet tracked down what causes the problem. I believe it’s related to an issue in WordPress, but I might be wrong.
You can safely ignore this error message.

Is this when you’re looking at the admin page? The page url:
wp-admin/options-general.php?page=wp-mail-smtp/wp_mail_smtp.phpYou’re saying the options are reversed for you? When you choose SMTP your mails are sent using PHP’s mail() function, but when you chose mail() then your messages are sent via SMTP. Is that correct?
This is absolutely not the intended purpose of the code. Further, This plugin has been downloaded many times (over 1’400 last week) and I’ve never had another report of this behaviour. I’d be interested to explore the issue with you to see if we can get to the bottom of it.
