So I created a Wordpress page using a Bluemix boilerplate. Everything is working fine except for the email notifications. When a new user registers they don't get an email with their temp password. If I click on "forgot password" and provide an email I get the following error: "The e-mail could not be sent.
Possible reason: your host may have disabled the mail() function."
Anyone know what needs to be configured? I see that the Wordpress boilerplate comes with a Sendgrid service, but when I click on "Open Sendgrid Dashboard" I get a blank page.
Your help is appreciated!
Ok never mind... figured it out. Posting answer in case someone else runs into the same thing.
Turns out you have to go to the Wordpress Admin Dashboard -> Plugins -> Installed Plugins and "Activate" the SendGrid Plugin. Once you do that you then have to click on settings and configure by using your SendGrid account info (Which can be found on your Bluemix dashboard).

On our WordPress site, we needed to have Facebook login functionality.
For that reason, we installed the Nextend Social plugin and configured our app inside the Facebook developer dashboard.
Everything works as expected but we noticed that Facebook has App verification for Business and Individual verification.
We also noticed when we switch our Application inside the Facebook developer dashboard to Live mode everything works as expected without a problem.
So our question is: Do we need to verify our App in order just to use Facebook login functionality where we only need email and user's name?
Thank you all in advance.
I figured it out, and for anyone that is asking the same question the answer is:
If you only need public_profile and email data then you do not need to submit you App to the review, as per the Facebook App review page:
Digging into Nextend Social WordPress plugin I figured out that they only ask for:
protected $scopes = array(
'public_profile',
'email'
);
I get the following error when I try to access Wordpress admin login page of my client's site:
Sorry, your request cannot be accepted.
It opens for my client though. The client has not blocked my IP, or my country, then why is it happening?
Here is the wp-admin area. Does the page open for you?
Having a quick investigation, it looks like the issue is spawning from the plugin you have installed called IP Geo Block. https://wordpress.org/plugins/ip-geo-block/
I'd recommend disabling this plugin temporarily and attempting to login. If you're still having issues, it's worth creating a support ticket with that plugin maker.
All of my sites using Contact Form 7 has stoped working on submit. The response container "wpcf7-mail-sent-ng" says "An error occurred while sending the message. Please try again later."
I get the following feedback:
into:"#wpcf7-f112-o1"message:"An error occurred while sending the message. Please try again later."status:"mail_failed"
Any ideas how to resolve this? Kind of a big deal as a lot of my customers currently use CF7 on their sites.
Thx
EDIT
I have the same issues, wich started after the Wordpress 4.9.2 automatic update. I have tested sites that are running the same release of CF7 but on another version of Wordpress, and there are no issues then. Seems like a Wordpress problem right?
Also, nothing in the console, and I get the same message in the feedback under the Network tab in devtools.
For this issue, you can follow below steps,
These fixes include:
change the wordpress contact form area from section ([your-name] <[your-email]>) to info#yourserver.com.
add all fields inside
or
Use “WP Mail SMTP plugin”. Then you configure your mail server details.
WordPress Mail SMTP Plugin
Once you have sent an email
“Thank you for your message.” Possible to refresh the automatic page.
For me personally, I tried the first two options, but it only started working and sending emails after I installed the WP Mail SMTP plugin, and configured it to use the Gmail SMTP server (which required that I created a gmail account, as you need to provide a username and password when connecting to Gmail's server).
The problem is now resolved!
Turns out my hosting company hade issues with php mail()
To be sure this doesnt happen in the future you can follow Priyanka Modi's advice above and use WP Mail SMTP PLugin. Yet another plugin, but it works great.
Hello I have Contact Form 7. It was working nicely. I wanted to add captcha to my form so contact form 7 has an option to add captcha but it requires integration with settings. I followed the same mentioned steps. I went to Google’s reCAPTCHA admin page, Registered my website and got site key and secret key then added those keys to wp-admin Contact > Integration and save them. Then my contact form was not working.
Then i opened the mail tab in my contact form 7. I have lots all the settings. not sure what settings to use.
I have two version of site, one is live and one is demo site. So I have copied the mail settings of demo to live site. Copied exactly the same settings.
My demo's FROM setting contains this
[your-name] <wordpress#demo.lmdemo.com>
For example this is my demo site demo.lmdemo.com so added <wordpress#demo.lmdemo.com> in FROM Section.
but my contact form is giving me this error

What I have done so far.
I have tested on default theme, still giving me same error.
I have deactivated all other plugins, still giving me same error.
I have deactivated Contact form 7, and activated again, still same
error.
Contact form on my demo site is working perfectly, but not on live website. Contact form has same settings on demo and live.
just deactivated Akismet plugin and change } instead of a ], then you are able to send and receive a message to your website's email address from your system. otherwise recreate contact forms....... it works for me.
Sorry for posting it very late, I have fixed my issue. There were lot of spaming emails i was receiving and my hosting provider has blocked something that's why I was getting this error.
Failed to send your message. Please try later or contact the
administrator by another method.
So I have added captacha, It was still not working, so I have just email them to fix the issue on their end and it worked!
I have implemented a twitter login for my site, using a plugin called "Simple Twitter Connect".
Now what this plugin does is create a twitter login function for my site above the the comments section which allows users to use their twitter details rather than filling out name and email boxes.
Now the problem I am having with it is when it gets to the authorize page on twitter.com, after entering the details and then going back to the site it loads solicialize.gigaya.com page.
On the contents of the page it says
Failed connecting. Please try again later
I initially thought it must simply be something wrong with the plugin, however I have contacted the plugin author and he as said that gigya has nothing to do with his plugin nor does his plugin link to it.
I havent signed up to gigya nor implemented any of their functions on my site, so I'm not sure how this site gets into the equation.
If anyone wants to recreate the issue, the click here and login via twitter.
Can anyone suggest what the issue may be?
After the successful OAuth-Login you are redirected to the Callback URL associated with your Consumer key. The Callback URL can be configured - here's how you do it:
Log in to https://dev.twitter.com/apps
Select the application which you are using in your blog
Go to the "Settings" tab and you'll find the Callback URL under "Application Type"
Set the URL to your blog base directory (where the index.php is).
