I am using the Gmail API.

I am sending email from a dozen WP multi-site installs. I had created the API instances for all in the primary GSuites account, thinking that I would be able to alter the From email name and address within the plugin. I am now recreating the API connections within the GSuites account that is most appropriate for the purpose of the site/email. Not great but it will do.

So I read that the plugin developer’s real job may be keeping him from supporting his plugin, which is unfortunate. I need an SMTP plugin that works correctly.

In my case, the only thing I can figure out is that the Gmail API probably forces the “From:” address to be the primary Gmail (in our case, GSuites) address because that’s the address that is used, despite what I change this plugin’s setting to.

Same problem for me. All emails are being sent with the WordPress admin email address as the “From” name and email address fields. No setting change in Post SMTP alters this behavior.

Very helpful! Thank you for the prompt response.

I see the same in Microsoft Edge and old IE, as well as Chrome.

The space loads late, at the end of the page load.

After updating to 3.4 a few minutes ago, received a 500 error and blank page. (Latest WP, Avada)

Installed JetPack-Master, re-enabled plugin and all seems to have been repaired.

I am checking over the site now and will advise if I find any problems.

To the plugin authors… I appreciate your work.

Although I am a WP site designer, I know just enough about coding to be dangerous. Most using your plugin would know less than I, so asking them to modify code is out of the question.

After removing your plugin, I installed “Post Types Order” which worked perfectly and without modification of any files. Granted, if your plugin takes a different approach to the task than does “Post Types Order,” there could still be a problem with my theme (Simone), but I just want it to work, and it now does. I will change my rating, but will rate “Post Types Order” higher as it is apparently more flexible and accommodating of “problem sites” like mine.

Thanks, esmi. That error was all that I could find.

The “invalid command” looks like an IP address that a security plugin had written to htaccess. I uninstalled the plugin and cleaned up afterward, including restoring the htaccess to the default. I would love to know where that data is being picked up from.

I have now reinstalled all files and db on a new hosting account, which eliminated the problem.

I have installed the default WordPress htaccess.

I just tried a fresh install of WP in a sub-directory, but get the 500 error when starting the install. I then tried just a plain html file in the root, but still get the error.

I lease a VPS, so I have full access. I am just not experienced enough to track down the cause of the 500 error on this specific hosting account.

I have 80 other working WP sites on this server.

I have still not figured out this problem. I have restored a db backup, created a clean htaccess file, checked db info in wp-config, and still get:

[Fri Feb 14 10:50:55 2014] [alert] [client 66.249.75.189] /home/dtp/public_html/.htaccess: Invalid command ‘3\\.17\\.192\\.151$”‘, perhaps misspelled or defined by a module not included in the server configuration

Any help will be appreciated.

I recommend not using this plugin until the developer can figure out why it wrote to .htaccess incorrectly, breaking sites. BWPS broke over two dozen sites and one still isn’t back up. I have gotten no response from the developer, so I am winging it right now. Don’t put yourself in the same position.

I have been dealing with a similar problem on several dozen sites in which I installed BWPS.

To regain access to the site, FTP into the site directory and delete .htaccess . You should then be able to log into the site. First, go to the Permalinks settings page and resave.

Then, you can deal with BWPS . The plugin incorrectly wrote to .htaccess, breaking it. This happened when the user agent ban and/or blacklist was activated. I don’t know WHY it happened; just that it did.

I uninstalled BWPS from all sites. I still have one site that is throwing a 500 error, even after cleaning up .htaccess and removing BWPS.

Thanks for asking. GA Dashboard reset to 09.10.13 at UTC 0:00:00 (8 pm ET).

Interesting. I have re-saved and will report back if that solves the problem.

I haven’t changed the time zone settings in years. It was set correctly when I created the account.
