Since PHP Mailer is working fine do you have the same credentials setup for wp_mail? If you’re using an authenticated SMTP for PHP Mailer then you’ll possibly need a plugin to get the authentication into wp_mail. There are a few different ones that all work but one is https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-mail-smtp/ for example.
That’s because wp_mail expects the attachment to be a filename (filepath) that it can attach and send. You are supplying a string containing the contents of the file: function create_csv() { $filepath=”/path/to/the/file.csv”; $fd = fopen($filepath, ‘w’); if($fd === FALSE) { die(‘Failed to open temporary file’); } $records = array( array(‘dummy’, ‘data’, ‘found’, ‘here’) ); fputcsv($fd, … Read more
The following is a way to handle your question. It is in two parts. First, you would create your connection as constants to be used later. The best way to do this is in wp-config.php. (You mentioned that you’re doing this in a custom plugin. If that’s something that is to be portable, then you … Read more
I revised your code to address some issues, but there is the possibility that the issue is not your code. First, you are returning too early. Your original code returns on success before you send the email. I moved this to the end so that it sets a value (success or error) at the end … Read more
When you’re using something like Easy WP SMTP, what you’re doing is configuring things so that wp_mail() sends using your validated SMTP account rather than the generic mailer on the web server. The a common confusion and misconception is that you are using SMTP OR wp_mail(). Actually what you’re doing is changing what wp_mail() is … Read more
Not sure how to close this post. I used WP better emails plugin http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-better-emails/ on the subsites and it removed the wordpress email address. (I was only using it on the main site before so it didn’t work.) Thanks.
Sounds like a server configuration problem, not a WordPress thing. You said you were using Rackspace? I don’t have personal experience with Rackspace but it appears that they have some known issues with the default PHP mail() function. See: http://feedback.rackspace.com/forums/71021-product-feedback/suggestions/1873281-fully-support-php-mail-function- http://www.joshuawinn.com/huge-email-delays-on-rackspace-cloud-sites-dont-use-php-mail/ The primary issue is that sending straight through mail() doesn’t authenticate the sender, using … Read more
I have figured it out. There were a bunch of issues with the existing code. The code wasn’t getting $author_email appropriately which was causing it to fail and causing wp_mail() not to fire. add_action(‘comment_post’, ‘comment_email_notification’, 11, 2); function comment_email_notification($comment_ID, $comment_approved) { $post_type = get_post_type(); if ($post_type !== ‘jobs’) { return; } $comment = get_comment($comment_ID); $post_ID … Read more
First the way to do this is with a form using the post method, it is slightly easier to understand: <!– form with AJAX action and iframe target –> <form method=”post” action=”<?php echo admin_url(‘admin-ajax.php’); ?>” target=”emailsendframe”> <!– AJAX action field to trigger function–> <input type=”hidden” name=”action” value=”download_email_send”> <!– Post ID field –> <input type=”hidden” name=”intro” … Read more
There’s the wp_mail() function in WordPress. The headers have to be added as array without trailing \n\r or similar. Example wp_mail( ‘[email protected]’, ‘Hello World!’, ‘Just saying…’, array( ‘MIME-Version: 1.0’, ‘Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1’, sprintf( ‘From: %s <no-reply@%s>’, get_bloginfo(‘name’), site_url() ), sprintf( ‘X-Mailer: PHP/%s’, phpversion() ), ) ); To change the content type you could as well … Read more
