@peopleinside, A notice posted elsewhere about WP 4.6 email may be relevant:
… WordPress 4.6 has a major bug with handling e-mail sending on SOME servers (including BlueHost shared servers)… Essentially, WordPress 4.6 can’t send e-mails on some hosts… This is most obvious when a user tries to use the Get a New Password link… WP knows about this, and will no doubt issue a patch soon… http://forum.weavertheme.com/discussion/14392/wordpress-4-6-major-bug-with-email
Which plugin fixed the problem for you?
Same happened here on readme files of two plugins. The ‘Tested up to’ number had been backed down. Went to the support forums for those plugins. Compatibility issues were being reported. My guess is that until fixes are in, the developers modified their repository readme files to a lower compatibility, which apparently is something they can do without making it a plugin update (makes sense to me). They probably had good results when testing ahead of the new WP release and then some things went bump for some sites anyway.
I usually update WP right away but this time I did not. The WP 4.6 release reads more like a “new features” update rather than a “security update”. Red flag to me, not in desperate need of new features, let someone else test it. My setup may not have produced the same glitches reported by others but nonetheless happy to not be bothered.
Hope all else is okay with your installs. Myself, marked those WF-flagged readme files as “Ignore until changed”.
Listening though, in case someone else has other ideas.

In reply to: [Fast Secure Contact Form] Email not being delivered – Solved@mperry8304, which was the fix for you, disabling sender information or Wordfence firewall configuration? Might help clarify source of problem. Thanks!
FSCF works down the list of things to do and then got to an item it could not do, which is to send you to another page, which it cannot find.
Can you find the page you should be redirected to in your wordpress list of pages? If not, you will need to set up a page that contains your thank you message, and then put that page’s url into the redirect field for that form: in FSCF under the Advanced tab.
If you find a redirect url is already in that field, test it by copying and pasting it into a browser window. If does not load then the url is incomplete or has a typo or no longer exists (have you added SSL secure socket layer – so http:// now has to be https:// ?). Maybe someone changed the slug(url) for that intended page? Or maybe even deleted that page? Those are the most likely problems.

In reply to: [Fast Secure Contact Form] Email not being delivered – SolvedOkay, able to use “Enable sender information in email footer” again. Believe problem was Wordfence firewall configuration.
WF autoselected the setting “Apache +suPHP (recommended based on our tests)” which sounded good because they had tested it, right? After several other odd happenings, I thought to verify the WF selection with the host. Turns out the correct selection for us is “Apache + CGI/FastCGI”. Not 100% sure that was the only factor in the email delivery problem but all is working again. (Reported to WF.)
The “disable sender information” temporary fix above was critical to get confirmation emails delivered until a solution showed up — thanks again! The sender information is only helpful in rare instances, anyway, like when deciding whether or not to accept somewhat-odd information provided on the form.

In reply to: [Fast Secure Contact Form] Email not being delivered – SolvedIn the nick of time, thank you!
Confirmation emails were sending fine, then not — just when I happened to see this at the top of the forum list. Saved much grief, thank you!Curious what new thing triggered the problem as including sender information WAS working. Suspect a plugin firewall that did not correctly self-configure. Will test sender information again when working during a lax traffic period (not on Bluehost).
Me too. ISP changes my IP number daily, so WF is set to Not log admin names. But it logs my actions anyway, and other admins. Major bother because, yes, we too very much appreciate being able to quick-check who else is doing what, know that the site is serving. Do not care to watch staff. Happy to know this behavior is not an errant action at my end.
A feature worth maintaining for sure! (Thank you)Forum: Plugins
In reply to: [Ajax Login By WPH] Add this to main menu?Hi, have not needed to put this Ajax Login Widget into a menu tab yet, but believe this link will help figure out how to do it if/when that day arrives: forum.weavertheme.com/discussion/11649/adding-a-text-widget-to-menu-bar
Good luck!The flash message above happens when loading or reloading “Live Traffic” (with real time off or on).
The blocked logging seems to be related to the WF Basic and WF Falcon caching. Have posted that query on a new topic.
Results after clearing WF data with WF Assistant:
Google Analytics Human count: 41.
(Google reports only 1/3 human visitors counted by Host — there may have been more human visitors.)WF TOTAL COUNT: 4 (Of which 2 were Me and should have been more as I emptied cache then called all pages to refresh cache.)
WF HUMAN COUNT: 0 (Even though 2 of them were me.)
WF IPs Blocked: 1 “Russia was blocked: Exceeded the maximum global requests per minute for crawlers or humans.” But I cannot prove that IP warranted blocking because their IP report shows only two hits, and both were to valid URLs.
Added WF premium as due diligence in protecting user data. But it seems WF reported better before premium. I do not know if WF is protecting but not reporting, or not protecting at all.
Same here, been meaning to ask about zero results with human filter. Last week I would see humans with human filter. This week installed Falcon. Don’t know if that is the cause or not but I no longer see any results whatsoever with human filter, totally blank. As a test, I turned Falcon off, turned on Live Traffic, still no results in human filter, so maybe not related to Falcon after all. I know from Google Analytics and Host stats that there are human visitors. Troublesome that WF is not seeing them. Today cleared data with the WF Assistant plugin. If that restores human view I’ll add another reply.

In reply to: [Fast Secure Contact Form] lengthening text fields shortens checkbox labelsMissed modifying above by one minute, option needed was further down, “Input text fields”. Knew that. Getting the shorter checkbox label to behave like the longer checkbox labels got me twisted about checkboxes (add lots of
to force length to a breaking point to behave like the others). Late. I’m good. Thanks.
