Phoca Forum

Hi

PHOCA Guestbook Version is 3.0.8 and JOOMLA is Joomla 3.8.10

I have problems receiving system "Administrator Approval " emails from posted messages which need admin approval before they are published.

When a message is posted I have this message on top of the guest book :

"success. Post saved, It will be displayed after the Administrator's approval"... which is good!

I have the following settings:

The User Account designated to receive the messages is set to "Receive System Emails" and has a valid email address associated to it. The account is enabled.

In the relevant "Menu Items" Advanced Tab, the "Send Email" field has the appropriate user account.

In the "Phoca Guestbook Configuration" under "Options" General Tab, the same user account is added to "Send Email".

The Joomla mail is activated because I am receiving emails from a Contacts plugin with no problem.

PHOCA Guestbook Version is 3.0.8 and JOOMLA is Joomla 3.8.10 .


Any advice would be appreciated.


thanks Paul

Hi, when you test to add some post in the frontend, do you get any other system message there?

When you take a look at the errorLog on your server (php errorLog), is there some error message?

No other system messages... having problems locating the php error log..

Hi, you should ask your webhosting provider where the php errorLog is stored so you can take a look at it
