Mail function not working in scseals.com  Is there a section to reinstall to fix the issue. 
1st: Updated plugin without updating base - fixed that except
2nd: join verification email would work but not private email
3rd: tried to use STMP and it was verified as correct but still no email was sent from site
4th: unclicked enable smtp and then still nothing worked

Think section is corrupt but which one? and can I simply FTP and overite that section if so?

Many, many thanks

when you send a email check the ow_base_mail table,  there should be records in there temporarily before they get sent. Here is how it works. 


You send mail

records get created into the ow_base_mail table

cron sends the email

the records in that table go away because they are sent


so that table should always be empty unless it has mail to be sent.  


So the best way is to bring up the table, send your email, then refresh that page so you can catch the records before they go away. 


Once it is sent then it is up to your mail server or your mail client, it is beyond oxwall at that time.

Dave, many thanks.
All the mail I have attempted to send over several days is still in the ow_base_mail table

Any idea why it is not being sent?

Chron Job  every 5 min command  /usr/bin/curl http://scseals.com/ox/cron/daily/

Cron may not be working. Try this plugin to see if it is running.

You can use this guide to confirm the cron is set up correctly.

SEEMS TO BE WORKING NOW  THANKS TO EVERYONE

Changed chron to:  /usr/bin/curl http://scseals.com/ox/ow_cron/run.php

and email sent showing it was run

Then I put http://scseals.com/ox/ow_cron/run.php in browser and ran and then mail came through?
