Update on the email problem. The built in SMTP options of the theme don’t work, at least, not for gmail. It seems the theme is overruling any and all other smtp plugins which do work. This is why the contact form works, i think it works with wp_mail, which is being overridden by gmail smtp plugin by wpforms, but the user registration is not or cannot be overridden by the plugin. I understand why, it’s not standard and 2 users are being made, one for REM and one for wordpress, which are equal to another. I’ll see if i can hack the theme mailer back to wp_mail somehow, which is run by the gmail smtp plugin.

I’m a bit further, No php errors, no smtp errors. I get the impression that the mail function is simply not called when registering the user. No clue why though. Will search for a way to check this, but i’m pretty sure of this.

I also noticed that testmails from command line in my vps are denied by gmail because of ipv6 standards, outlook accepts them without trouble. Since this doesn’t happen with the registration mails, I’m convinced they’re just not being sent. This action seems to be missing, I assume because of the theme, but will try to install a different registration system with built in smtp settings, perhaps of wp forms, their wp gmail smtp also works. Will report later today, hopefully with solution.

Hi i have the exact same problem. But i did try several plugins and the theme also has built in smtp settings. The contact form works, only the registration email is not sent out. But i do have the email logs. The problem i see, i think, is that if the script is emailing, then it doesnt work, but if a direct user interaction is used (check email plugin or contact form), then it works.

I’ve read that an email must be created on the server with that domain, will try that, otherwise i have a big problem
