Problems with WP-Email plugin
|
|
Hi there - I want to use what is a fairly standard plugin in - WP-Mail - it's updated to 2.7 - not 2.7.1 but it still should work. (Downloaded 74,000+ times!) The problem I'm having is not with the code that adds the little "Email this Page" or "Email this Post" on the pages/posts - it's that when it goes to the page, it's an "Error 404: Page Not Found" I'm wondering if this is a theme issue - if anyone else has encountered it? Here's the plugin home: I'm adding this code to the page.php and single.php = Find: Then add Anywhere Below It: That works just fine. It's then trying to call the post with an added /email - which should bring up the email form but it's not being found on my server. Only thought I had was maybe b/c i'm using a child theme that it needs to change the plugin extension or something? not likely - but, I could use help - it's an important final feature b/c the organization is trying to "go green" and email instead of having people print. As always, site is http://members.mmaeonline.com Examples are: Page example: http://members.mmaeonline.com/board-resources/ |

Update - I just got a sql conflict called up from another plugin (Event Registration -http://www.avdude.com/index.php/event-registration-plugin/ I deactivated WP-Email and it went away. (which also means the pages no longer have the wp-email on it - sorry.) I'm not really sure why that would conflict - can their be SQL server conflicts and if yes, is there a way to resolve them? If no, can you recommend a way to do an "Email this post/page" plugin easily? I wanted it separate than a "Share This..." type of function b/c members are technically not able to share these posts outside of the site - so I just need the Email functionality. Thx - |

Update again - resolved the sql issue (not quite sure how but it seems to be OK) - and I'm using Post Layout Plugin to put the WP-Email code at the bottom of each page and post without have to mess at all with the scripts. Problem is that I still can't do one simple thing: get to the page where the emails are sent. the page is generated in the code email_form() in wp-email.php - i have that and could email it somehow? or maybe you can see/pull it? The guy suggested resetting my permalinks - I don't know what that means or the extent of it - a little nervous but he said that's often the problem? Alexa |

Nevermind - got it! I read and didn't think the permalink reset sounded too scary - that solved the problem. To put a little bug in your ear - adding email this post/page in the theme, instead of having to go plugin - would be an awesome improvement for a next round! Thanks! Alexa |

Ha haa - glad you got it worked out without help :) Sorry I didn't respond but I have been on holiday, without computer access, for the last few days. |

Hello, I have updated the wordpress to version 3.3.1 and WP-Email Plugin is not working anymore. I have not done any changes over there. When I submit the form it is saying the email_form not defined in the console. Can you please have a look at this issue. |

Hi - I am afraid we don't support 3rd party plugins. Please contact the plugin author for help with this. |
