That was very helpful. Somehow I missed that page and video. Thanks!

Yes, I am witnessing the same thing. If I am logged in as admin and then view the site, all posts show up on my blog roll. However, if I view the site as a visitor, the latest post is from the middle of last year.

The solution was short lived ??

I am not able to receive emails from the site on outlook or gmail servers.

So, I reactivated each plugin one at a time and sent out a test post that way. My yahoo address received each post. My exchange server email addresses only received the ones after i reactivated WP SMTP. This is a similar problem to the one I had that made me start using WP SMTP. It appears to be working again, but I don’t understand why it wasn’t before. Could a plugin need to be “reset” through deactivation and reactivation?

ok. I am reactivating one plugin at a time and sending test emails. I will let you know tomorrow what I find. Thanks!

i did that and got the update about 30 minutes later.

new_to_publish,pending_to_publish,auto-draft_to_publish,draft_to_publish,future_to_publish

I deactivated WP SMTP and sent another post but I have not yet received it. I waited a good 10-15 minutes

Ok, I’ll try to explain what I have going on:

I am running the most current version of WordPress on HostGator using Portfolio press and all plugins, themes, etc. are up to date.

I was using the Subscribe2 plugin to send notifications but didn’t like it’s functionality, so I switched to your plugin. Subscribe2 is still installed but deactivated.

I am using WP_Members to restrict access to some content on the site. If someone does not have an account, they cannot follow the link emailed to them as it will give them a denied access message and prompt a login. When I ran my last test run that worked, I sent it as “unblocked” as it was a general message saying our system was running again.

I have used the “check email” plugin to test that emails are being sent and received properly, which resulted in a successful test. (it is still active)

I am also running WP missed schedule to help run regular backups as our traffic is a bit low at the moment, but I imagine this would help with any email cron jobs.

I also have WP SMTP running which enables me to bypass the wordpress email engine and instead send from our outlook365 server from a specified email address created for the website.

the last successful email was sent 6/23/15 and I confirmed it went out by talking to recipients and even getting some email bouncebacks to the outlook email account saying some email addresses weren’t entered correctly into user profiles.

please let me know if you need anything more specific. Thanks a lot for your help!

I write a post.

I select the categories that email addresses are subscribed to receive updates about.

I publish the post.

None of the subscribed emails receive a notice of the new post.

Thanks. I installed a plugin to allow me to use the sites email server instead of wordpress’ php engine and it is now working fine.

Ok, so I was able to receive the email at a yahoo address, but not Microsoft or Gmail.

It appears that it is not. How do I fix that? Would it be another plugin, setting, or issue with the code (I do not code, so I don’t think I would have changed anything unless a plugin suggested it)

Do you mean the front end registration page?

Also, what I am looking for is a checkbox type form that I can insert for people to subscribe to certain lists as part of their registration.

yes, I am currently using register plus redux but plan on switching to wp members in the near future.

how can I find out which plugin is preventing it? I’m currently using portfolio press theme. I tried another similar plugin and had the same issue, so yes, that leads me to believe something else is preventing that function.

thank you for your help!
