Sending Email Error

    My message is a little strange. And honestly, probably is dumb. But here it goes:

    Whenever someone creates an entry in the form, it is suppose to send a confirmation email with a link in it.

    It DOES send an email to the administrator (the email i defined) that a post was created.

    It DOES NOT send an email to the user who created the form. This is because the plugin doesn;t know where to send the email! I deleted all of the fields in the Main tab and started over from scratch. I have a field named e_mail that i recently created.

    So how does the plugin find the users email? Does the field name HAVE to be “email” without the underscore and it will send it to the email in that field. Because there is no option to define where it grabs the email to send.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated:) thanks!

    yes, the field must be named ’email’ in order for the plugin to know to use that field. You can change the name directly in the database if you know what you’re doing in there, otherwise, delete the field and make a new one with that name ’email’

    Okay I did what you said and it doesn’t seem to work. I know the email server and configuration is correct because I get the email to our admin account saying the post was correctly added. But the user submitting doesn’t get the email.

    Just to clarify, the name is “email” and looks correct.

    I am assuming anyone who posts to it will be emailed, regardless if they are logged in on my site. Correct?

    Thanks

    Nevermind I got it working. Just a long delay on my mail server.
