I have setup a wordpress site on godaddy account. The registration form does not send emails to the users for passwords.

what is the problem in the site?

  • Let upload one sample static php mail code and cross check your SMTP working fine or not, are you getting other mails like comment, new registration etc... – Ajay Patel Mar 01 '12 at 07:32
  • I have uploaded a static email code to the server. It displays that email sent but I did not receive any email. – Ahmad Mar 01 '12 at 07:43
  • So the problem is not wordpress, ask your hosting provider that why mail is not working – Ajay Patel Mar 01 '12 at 07:49
  • sorry, the email was sent successfully and I receive the emails with the simple mail script. – Ahmad Mar 01 '12 at 08:06

it looks like some problem with your SMTP server settings. There is nothing wrong with your PHP script because its wordpress . You can find your solution here.

php.ini & SMTP= - how do you pass username & password

  • I have installed the wp-mail-smtp plugin. And from settings I select the PHP mail function to send email. But I recieve the error message "Could not instantiate mail function". – Ahmad Mar 01 '12 at 06:12
  • Have a look on this http://wordpress.org/support/topic/could-not-instantiate-mail-function and you need to install http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/smtp/faq/ plugin for this. – Milap Mar 01 '12 at 06:17
  • Yes But it did not work form me also. My site is hosted on godaddy account. – Ahmad Mar 01 '12 at 07:10
  • Did you try after installing above plugin ? – Milap Mar 01 '12 at 07:15

I think you should consider moving to a better host. Godaddy is a major domain seller and hosting provider, but most of their users are first timers who just want to pop-up a page. They don't care if you want to do something advanced as their support is only phone-based.

I suggest you to try a more professional hosting. I am using hostgator, arvixe, iweb, try one of these.
