Email no longer working for my WordPress site

Not sure when this happened, but my wordpress site will no longer send emails.  The only time I get an error back of any help is when i try the password recovery utility.  It displays
The e-mail could not be sent.
Possible reason: your host may have disabled the mail() function...
Which is odd because this used to work just fine when I first set this all up 3 months ago.  Do the shared sites have email disabled now?  How can I get this working again?  I tried looking through wordpress for email configuration and testing,
but didn't find anything there.
Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.

Oh wow, that's odd.  It worked just fine when I initially setup the site.  Never heard of having to install a plugin to get SMTP working for a wordpress site.  I've always understood that you'd simply have to configure PHP to let it communicate
with the SMTP server, which naturally happened when I installed the WordPress site from your plugins.  Which doesn't mean to say that it's impossible for it to be different than what I imagined.  But really, I'd be surprised if this is "standard
wordpress practice".
As with all wordpress plugins, there's a worry about installing a malicious one in your site.  Is there any that you all could suggest to "re-bridge" the gap in this functionality?
Also if this is the default behavior for the "website preview" which has been provided by running on shared instances, does this mean that if we were to decide to upgrade the site to be on our own instance, that we'd have to perform the same tasks to get
email working?

  • My ringer is no longer working for text and email notifications. Only working for phone calls. I have gone through all the settings to see where something is off. Not finding anything. I have tried changing the tone and it just vibrates on everything.

    Ok so I happened to figure it out while on the phone to apple support. Even though the guy was very nice, I think I knew more than him! He was explaining very basic resolution principles I played about. I had the second option in displays resolution. All I did was unplug the HDMI cable, click on 'best for display' then plugged the HDMI in and my resolution on the normal monitor changed to the normal blue, then went black momentarily and then changed to a strange resolution but another window appeared that said SONY BRAVIA HDMI at the top! Hey presto! Don't know why it didn't do it yesterday - I probably left the HDMI cable in or something! Oh well. Problem solved!

    I have updated to ios 7 and Microsoft outlook web access for work emails no longer works nor my remote access can you help

    This happened to me as well. I read somewhere else that resetting the network settings (General, Reset, Reset Network Settings) would help and it partially did. I get half (the folders) of the Web Access screen rather than a blank screen. I tried tihs a few more times and got the right half (the messages) on occasion but never the whole web page.

  • My telus email no longer works after installing the new os Yosemite

    my telus email no longer works after installing the new os Yosemite

    This is a problem between Telus and Yosemite.  Telus, of course, blames Apple. 
    Check the box that says "Allow insecure authentication"  That will get your email working.
    However, this box will get un-checked when you stop start Mac Mail.  The next time you start Mail, you'll have to re-check it for each Telus account.  (This is the bit that Apple needs to fix.)

  • Command plus is no longer working for me correctly in Safari 8.0.2.

    Command plus is no longer working for me correctly in Safari 8.0.2.  When I use it to zoom in a safari window, it makes fonts bigger instead of scaling the entire page bigger like it used to.  What changed or what did I accidentally change?   This  is only happening in Safari.  When I use Command Plus in a Chrome or firefox browser window, it works perfectly still.
    To explain this a little better,  I have a 27" iMac.  When I open a browser widow in safari like yahoo.com,  The content fits in about a 10.5" section of the screen.  If i go to full screen or enlarge the window to fit the full screen the same 10.5" content is centered in my screen.  Previously, I could use Command Plus to zoom and the entire page would scale increasing from 10.5" to eventually filling the screen.  Now when I use command plus, the font's get bigger and bigger but the page width stays at 10.5"

    Hi petraidm,
    Welcome to the Support Communities!  If I'm understanding you correctly, it appears you have updated Safari to the latest version, but are still using Mountain Lion as your operating system, is that correct?
    You may need to adjust your screen resolution, or the zoom settings in the Accessibility pane of System preferences.   Usually, zooming changes the size of text or content in a window -- not the size of the window itself.   So I usually go to full screen mode in Safari, and then zoom in if I need to enlarge the text.
    OS X Mountain Lion: Zoom content on the screen
    http://support.apple.com/kb/PH11488
    If you have difficulty seeing or reading items on the screen, you can use Accessibility preferences to magnify items on the screen. You can zoom the entire screen or zoom the area that has keyboard focus in a separate window.
    Set up zoom
    Choose Apple menu > System Preferences, click Accessibility, and then click Zoom.
    Do either of the following:
    To zoom with keyboard shortcuts, select “Use keyboard shortcuts to zoom.”
    To zoom with your mouse or trackpad, select “Use scroll gesture with modifier keys to zoom.”
    Choose where the magnified content appears with the Zoom Style pop-up menu.To display it in a window near the mouse cursor, choose Picture-in-picture. To display it on the entire screen, choose Fullscreen.
    To set options for zoom or the zoom window, click More Options.More Options panel
    You can also turn on zooming by pressing Command (⌘)-Option (⌥)-F5 and selecting options in the Zoom section.
    Zoom with keyboard shortcuts
    To zoom in, press Command (⌘)-Option (⌥)-Equal Sign (=). To zoom out, press Command (⌘)-Option (⌥)-Minus Sign (-).
    If you chose Picture-in-picture zooming, a window appears near the mouse cursor with the magnified image. If you chose the Fullscreen zooming, the entire screen displays the magnified image.
    Zoom with a mouse or trackpad
    To zoom in and out, hold down the modifier key you specified while you perform the scroll gesture.
    For example, if you have a trackpad and used the default settings, zoom in by holding down the Control (^) key while you drag two fingers up on the trackpad. Zoom out by holding down the Control key while you drag two fingers down on the trackpad.
    If you chose Picture-in-picture zooming, a window appears near the mouse cursor with the magnified image. If you chose Fullscreen zooming, the entire screen displays the magnified image.

  • My facebook app no longer works for my iphone after i sync it to my laptop!

    Why does my facebook app no longer works for my iphone after i sync it to my mac book pro?
    I added this app for facebook and then i synced it up with my mac book pro, but afterwards it lost the app, and I can't download it anymore... why is that?
    And how do I manage to put it back on my iphone?

    Hello hersheygirle,
    Welcome to the Discussions Boards.
    Re-download the Facebook APP on your computer and then sync it to the iPhone.
    Make sure your computer is logged into the same iTunes ID that shows up on your iPhone when you try to download an APP on the iPhone.

  • Bluetooth no longer works for incoming calls after recent update

    When I updated my Bluetooth to iOS 6, the Bluetooth no longer works for incoming calls. I press button to answer call, it makes a small cracking noise, and then sends the call to my phone. I can use the Bluetooth for outgoing calls and it works just fine. I was hoping when I updated to iOS 6.0.1 that the problem would be fixed. I have uninstalled and reinstalled Bluetooth but that has not helped either. I am frustrated. I have a LG HBM-905 Bluetooth that I loved prior to this problem.

    Magically started working today after I synced.

  • RoboForm Lite no longer works for Firefox 17 windows 7 and server 2008r2

    Greetings,
    RoboForm Lite no longer works for Firefox 17 windows 7 and server 2008r2 I tried to reinstall but none of the tabs function . Thank you for your assistance

    '''roboform_firefox:'''
    The original poster (OP) reported his/her OS as Windows 7 in the body of the question, therefore, your solution would be of no use to the OP. You can also see the OS for the system used by the OP to post the question to the right of the original question in this forum .
    Additionally, using an old version of Firefox is ill-advised as old versions contain uncorrected security vulnerabilities. Roboform has been very good lately in keeping their products updated for new Firefox releases and any problems with their products should be reported to them so that they can address any issues and release an update if needed.

  • E no longer works for my company

    I need to reset my new work phone that is a iphone 4. The only problem is it won't let me because its been set up by the person who had the phone first and he no longer works for my company

    Have your IT department get proof that the company was the original purchaser of that
    iPhone 4. Then either take that proof and the iPhone to a physical Apple store or whoever
    provides iPhone support for your location or contact Apple for assistance.
