Email notification doesn’t work!!

Have you tried changing the settings to use a different email address? Does that make a difference? Have to ask but have you checked your spam folder?

I encounter the same error. When any new comment is posted, I do not receive any notification on my email id. I have used correct email id in the admin profile and in the General Settings.

I am not sure where should I look for spam folder, any help is much appreciated!

Thanks in advance.

The spam folder would be in the email program that you use.

Have you asked your webhost about this problem?

Yes, I’ve checked my spam folder, and I’ve found nothing. I don’t think it is a problem from my webhost, because I use the cformsII plugin with an external SMTP server and it works nicely.

It depends how you are testing it. It won’t, for example, notify you about comments that you make on your own posts whilst logged in. Nor will it notify an admin if a comment is published without being held for moderation.

But my comments are set to await for moderation, and some people has just commented on my blog and I haven’t received anything…

Did you get the email about your new WordPress blog when you created your blog?

Sorry, I don’t understand what you have said. If you mean if I set correctly my email when I created my blog, the answer is yes. Forgive my poor English ??

I’m having this same problem. I’m using Oxyhost with PHPSendMail() enabled. Forgotten password notices send out fine though so I’m not sure what the issue is here.

My comment notification messages stopped arriving a while after I updated to 2.7, so I know the update didn’t cause this. It did work for a while after the update. The strange thing is trackback notification e-mail messages still arrive! Bizarre.

This problem just happened overnight for me.
I updated to 2.7 a few weeks ago and this morning, I found out that I didn’t have a single comment notification email (I usually get 30).
I looked in the admin panel and saw that many people had commented but I wasn’t sent an email.
I didn’t change anything at all in my config.
My blog is hosted on DreamHost and I know they had problems with my server yesterday but email, database and everything else works fine. I wonder what the problem is…

This problems seems to be centered around 2.7… If a lot of people are having this, it can’t just be us users making mistakes, it might be something in the software. My blog wasn’t even made before 2.7, I created it with 2.7.

Ok, my comments are working again. As I said in my previous post, I suspected DreamHost, my host to be the cause. While I don’t have any proof of that, I still believe they were causing this issue since they had server and database stuff issue yesterday.

This morning, all my missing email notifications were in my inbox and I now get notified everytime a new comment is posted.

Still having this problem – anyone find a solution yet besides the host?

Me too. I’ve tried everything. Very frustrating.
