I may be blind, but I’ve done a forum and google search for forgotten password emails and couldn’t find anything. So, I’m happy to refer to something else if anyone knows of another topic. Anywho...
I’m not a total noob to WLPE, but not an expert either. I’ve used it before and it’s worked fine, but I was hoping someone had an idea of where to look. I can login fine, logout, edit profiles and all that, but whenever I click "forgot password" I enter my email and then it acts as if it’s working and I get the message that reads- "Check your email for instructions on how to activate your new password." But, I never get a password. Has anyone experienced this before?
I’m using the latest stable release 0963 and the latest release of WLPE.
Does anyone have any insight on this? I would really like to take care of this asap. I know I’m missing something, but I’m just not sure where to look. Can anyone point me to a spot that I can look for issues. Thanks.
I’m no WLPE expert and I’m just guessing here but maybe WLPE uses mail() and you’re using SMTP elsewhere?
Thanks Bob. I ’ll check it out and report back.
Well, my original theory is still viable I think.
$Reset = new PHPMailer();
This instantiates a new PHPmailer object, which I believe will default to using mail() unless explicitly set to use SMTP (and there’s no code there to do that). So other parts of the program (or other mailers you use) might be using SMTP while this function is using mail().
The reason I thought of the mail() theory is that it’s the most common problem that causes no mail to be sent and yet triggers no error message.
