Why isn't this working for me?

  • I’ve installed this plug on two of my client’s websites. Both are running WordPress version 3.8. However, I have not received any email notifications even though updates are required on several plugins.

    I received the test email fine but not receiving any update notifications. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you

    I’ve been using this plugin for a number of my clients, which all have different web hosts, and I’ve found if it doesn’t work, it’s typically due to server settings by the web host, as this plugin needs a few server functions in order to work. I’m not sure, but I think this plugin uses the WP-cron and PHP Mail. If your host has disabled either of these features, you may not be able to use this plugin. I have found most hosts running cPanel have no issues with this plugin, but I’ve never been able to get it to work on Yahoo Small Business hosting, for example.

    thegreatdanton: if the test email worked, but you’re not receiving update notifications, my guess would be your web host isn’t allowing the cron to run on your WordPress account.
