make sure your cron is working first


then when you send a verification check the ow_base_mail table to see if the email is there, the emails are in that table only a short time because once they are sent then that table is clear. 


So if you see the email in that table and then it is gone, then it was sent and it is up to your email server after that and then the email client after that. So once it leaves that table it has left oxwall.


Also check the junk mail for those emails to see if they are going to junk mail instead.

are you using cpanel
Brian
Brian Aug 19 '16
yes

ok so then you know how to get to the cron menu.. 


so what you do is you set up a cron that executes one time per min just use the cron form and it will show you, you want to do 1x per min every day every week every hour every min 


and then if your oxwal is in the public html then and this is the command 

just replace username with your cpanel username


php -q  /home/username/public_html/ow_cron/run.php

dave Aug 19 '16
OK so choose every 1 min and every hour  


and then that url on there is that your site url?

Brian
Brian Aug 19 '16
it doesnt give me a " 1 " but it gives me the option for a "2 every min " andf yes that is my website
dave Leader
dave Aug 19 '16
if so you can try this in that space  ow_cron/run.php


but i have never seen a cpanel like that before, its either a custom job or an old version or its very limited in the server setup, you may have to ask your host what to put in there.
