Also very helpful to know, thanks @gappiah
OK, thanks for the very helpful explanation and suggestion @tahmidulkarim, will give this a try
Someone replied and suggested I should click on the confirmation email and check my spam folder. Thanks.
Unfortunately I did not receive such an email (neither in the inbox nor the spam folder).
Looking through other posts on the forum it seems I was not the only one, but usually work-arounds with plugins were suggested.
This leaves the questions: Why does it not work as it should? How can it be fixed without a work around?
Any other suggestions very welcome. Thanks
Thanks
