Email is now working! For what it’s worth here’s a walk though: * Set up WP Mail STMP From Email: Your Gmail Address Mailer: Send all WordPress emails via SMTP. STMP Host: smtp.gmail.com STMP Port: 465 Encryption SSL Authentification: Yes User Name: Your Gmail Address * Once that is completed you will need to log into your google account and turn on less secure Apps. (i’m not sure if there are any serious ramifications to this but it won’t work otherwise) Link is below: [https://www.google.com/settings/security/lesssecureapps](https://www.google.com/settings/security/lesssecureapps) * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Wired Impact Volunteer Management] Plugin not sending confirmation emails](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-not-sending-confirmation-emails/) * Thread Starter [TakingRoot](https://wordpress.org/support/users/takingroot/) * (@takingroot) * [10 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-not-sending-confirmation-emails/#post-7018944) * It has quit responding to my inquiries so I guess that means they don’t have a clue. Is there a way to link with a gmail address so I can send confirmations from there? * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Wired Impact Volunteer Management] Plugin not sending confirmation emails](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-not-sending-confirmation-emails/) * Thread Starter [TakingRoot](https://wordpress.org/support/users/takingroot/) * (@takingroot) * [10 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-not-sending-confirmation-emails/#post-7018907) * I am still working on a solution, the issue is NOT resolved.

Try again later.” * The opportunity is a one time event with a fixed date and time and the number of days to send reminders prior to the event (which is in late February) is set to 4. * The website is hosted on a server here in the office. * Let me know if you have additional questions and thank you for the quick response Viewing 7 replies - 1 through 7 (of 7 total)
