Whenever I configure this plugin (i followed the instructions in the plugin description) I get this error message:
SMTP -> ERROR: Failed to connect to server: Unable to find the socket transport “ssl” – did you forget to enable it when you configured PHP? (-1219412052)
What do I have to do?
Also, can someone help me understand what this part of the plugin description means:
My plugin still sends mail via the mail() function
If other plugins you're using are not coded to use the wpmail() function but instead call PHP's mail() function directly, they will bypass the settings of this plugin. Normally, you can edit the other plugins and simply replace the mail( calls with wp_mail( (just adding wp in front) and this will work. I've tested this on a couple of plugins and it works, but it may not work on all plugins.
EDIT: WordPress seems to be sending activation emails to everyone, except people with Yahoo email addresses… Is this normal? It doesn’t even show up in the Spam box. The only other mail I’ve tried it with is AOL email, and activation emails are being sent instantly. (This is also without using the plugin mentioned above, i kept getting errors, so I disabled it, and the email seems to work fine with everything other than Yahoo)
EDIT2: Also, I just tried it with Windows Live email and it worked. It sent it to spam, but it still worked. It seems to be functioning fine with gmail as well, as I am using a gmail address and I am receiving the new user request emails. I don’t see what the problem is with Yahoo email… What could be causing this?
