How to Fix Visual Form Builder Email Not Sending Issue

Are you looking for a way to fix Visual Form Builder (VFB) not sending email? This is a fairly common problem that many VFB users face.

The plugin works perfectly for building forms, but when it comes to email delivery, you're at the mercy of WordPress's wp_mail() function and whatever email setup your host cobbled together.

What Are DMARC, SPF, and DKIM? WordPress Email Authentication Guide (for Beginners)

Last year, fake emails cost businesses and people over $10 billion. Every three seconds, someone clicks on a phishing email. These attacks happen because email has a big problem: anyone can pretend to be anyone else.

When you send an email, there's no built-in way to prove it's really from you. Scammers use this weakness to send millions of fake emails every day. They pretend to be banks, companies, or even your boss.

Without the right protection, email providers can't tell the difference between real emails and fake ones. SPF, DKIM, and DMARC fix this problem. Think of them as a three-part ID check for every email you send.

In this article, I'll explain how DMARC, SPF, and DKIM work together to verify your outgoing mail and make sure your messages always get through.

How to Fix WordPress Not Sending Password Reset Email

Is WordPress not sending the password reset email from your website? There are lots of reasons why someone might need to reset their WordPress password.

Most of the time, it’s because they simply forgot it. But it can also happen on fresh installs, sites that just changed hosts, or even on live sites that were working perfectly fine before.

The easiest way to reset your password is by using the “Lost your password?” link on the login screen. WordPress will then send a reset link to the email address tied to the account.

But here’s the catch: sometimes that email never shows up. So, in this guide, I'll show you ways to troubleshoot the issue and even resend WordPress password reset emails if they fail.

How To Fix WordPress Admin Email Change Not Sending Confirmation

Is WordPress not sending the admin email change confirmation email? This email is crucial if you want to change your site admin email in WordPress.

The tricky part is, WordPress does try to send the email. But if your site isn’t set up to send emails the right way, it either gets lost or blocked.

If that sounds like what you're dealing with, don’t worry. I’ll walk you through what’s actually happening behind the scenes, and how to fix it so the email goes through without fail.

Why Your WordPress Emails Are Going to Spam (+ How to Fix It)

Are your WordPress emails going to spam? I’ve run into this issue more times than I can count, especially on fresh installs or sites that rely on the default mail settings.

The thing is, WordPress isn't built to send emails in a way that most mail servers trust by default. It uses something called the PHP mail() function, which often gets flagged as being untrustworthy.

So if your emails are getting flagged or lost, there’s a reason! And, I’ll walk you through what’s really causing it, and the exact steps you can take to fix it fast.

How to Save WordPress Email Attachments [The EASY Way]

Ever needed to find an important file that was sent from your WordPress site, only to realize there's no record of it? By default, WordPress doesn't save any outgoing emails or their attachments.

Once an email is sent, it's gone forever, leaving you with a critical blind spot in your business operations. Without a record, you can't troubleshoot delivery issues or provide proof of communication.

Keeping a copy of every file attachment makes it easy to archive or check the files your site's sending out. In this article, I'll show you how to save WordPress email attachments easily.
