Robin,

Well, I am pleased to say that since I took the actions you suggested it appears to be working correctly and so far I have not had any negative feedback.

Thank you very much for all your work on this and other functions of your style pack.

Keith..

Since making my last posting a moderator has reported that he is getting email’s from my test posting. So maybe what I did under your instruction has worked after all.

My last posting is in moderation.

I am getting a little confused myself being logged into my admin account where I get lots of emails unrelated to the forum. Perhaps I should setup a standard account to be sure of the results.

I use WP-SMTP so I can see the log of all emails which go out from the site and lots of people that subscribe and have posted did not get an email including me.

I did what you suggested and no email was received when deactivated or when subsequently re-activated your style pack.

I got one of the moderators to test and he did not get an email either.

I should also say that no changes to the settings were made to bbp style pack settings until the problem started when I enabled “Activate Subscriptions Management” and in item 3 — Roles to Email — All roles are checked (9 roles) except “Blocked” and “Spectator”

I was surprised that when I first went to “Activate Subscriptions Management” when researching the problem, it was not enabled. But your previous post implies that it does not need to be enabled.

I have just rechecked and no emails have been sent to anyone..

In item 3 — Roles to Email — All roles are checked (9 roles) except “Blocked” and “Spectator”

After a recent update the “Subscribe” link disappeared from the forum which would normally appear at top right of a thread.

I went into “Subscriptions Management” and noted that it was not enabled, so I checked the box and saved it and the subscriptions link returned at the top of the threads. So you could now toggle between “Subscribe” and “Unsubscribe” as you could do previously.

However, when subscribe was enabled on any thread and someone posted you did not get an email.

Well, this morning I tried again and to my delight it now is verified. I do not know what changed, but I have certainly not changed anything since my last post.

Nevertheless it is now working. Thank you for your support..

Thank you for the feedback..

I deleted the entry and then added again yesterday, but I still had the problem and its the same today.

When I hover over the top of the entry it shows it correctly as you stated.

Ian,

NO, I think the issue is with IONOS, but I have not received a solution yet.

Are you with IONOS?

I think more users may start reporting this..

Thank you for your feedback, so I must assume there is a problem at IONOS because if I click the Delete link next to _dmarc in the DNS settings, then it comes back and says “Do you really want to delete _dmarc.abbottsann.com” meaning that it correctly stored the host name BUT did not display it.

Also, clearly it knows I am in the abbottsann.com DNS settings page and therefore assumes the _dmarc is for that domain name.

How exactly does your Authentication code read the DNS of abbottsann.com

I can confirm that I have updated to your new 5.3.5 update and have not noted any issues so far.

So, thank you again for your excellent work.

Thank you very much for your feedback and very positive suggestion about using dedugpress which I have now installed and setup.

I look forward to your formal update.

I did not follow it up and just removed the plugin and found another suitable plugin which worked fine.

Apologies for the late reply, in the end I used another plugin which uploaded without problems up to my ISP limit of 64mb

Regards

Keith..

Well, after spending a lot of time on trying to get this going, I concluded that some of the MySQL commands were not being translated correctly to MS SQL commands, hence why only about 80% of the WordPress functionality worked correctly.

I installed MySQL on the same Windows server with everything else the same other than changing from MS SQL to MySQL and as expected everything works fine.

So, this means that WordPress currently cannot be used with MS SQL database on a Windows System.
