mjsuttonHello all, and thank you for this free software (much better than paying hundreds)
I have downloaded and installed wordpress mu
I never recieved admin email so I went into db and manually set it up.
After searching around these boards I found that the best fix is a plug in at coffee2code.
I got their phpmailer zip.
it included a folder wp-phpmailer with:
wp-phpmailer.php
phpmailer.lang-en.php
class-smtp.php
http://svn.wp-plugins.org/wp-phpmailer/trunk/wp-phpmailer.php (the phps instructions for this fix)
Step 1: Unzip/unpack the plugin distribution file into your wp-content/plugins/ directory... mu plugins or plugins??
Step 2: [Skip this step unless you chose to install PHPMailer yourself]
Copy the file wp-phpmailer.php from the plugin distribution file into your wp-content/plugins/ directory
-OR-
Copy and paste the contents of http://www.coffee2code.com/wp-plugins/wp-phpmailer.phps into a file called
wp-phpmailer.php, and put that file into your wp-content/plugins/ directory.
... which one?? do I leave the folder on the server and just upload the 1 file, do I move the one file from the folder to the plugins directory, this is very confusing.
step 3: Edit the wp-content/plugins/wp-phpmailer.php file and configure your SMTP host,
whether your host requires authorization, and if so, a username and password.
... this is self explanatory
step 4: Activate the plugin from your WordPress admin 'Plugins' page... if in mu plugins there is no activation....
step 5: a.) Replace all occurrences of "@mail" with "@phpmailer" in the following files:
wp-admin/users.php (1 change)
wp-includes/functions.php (2 changes)
wp-register.php (1 change)
@mail nor @phpmailer is in any of these files... lost here.
b.). Replace occurrences of "mail(" with "phpmailer(" in wp-login.php (2 changes)
same as a)
end is some code.. do I copy all of this into a new php file called phpmailer.php???
Thank you for your assistance, this install is a bit confusing for me and I hope some of you who got this to work, or are more code savy than I. thank you for your time and support.
