Password Resets - Work Around
While the emails aren't sending automatically on my site, I thought I'd give other Mysidia members the work around I started using, for those who may not be aware of it.
It is simply this: Go into your MyPHP (Or in my case phpMyAdmin)and expand your adopts database. Find the table called "adopts_passwordresets". In this table, you have all the information you'll need to send an email to the user. Using the site's email *(If you have one. We use gmail.)*, make a form letter. The one I use is as follows: Quote:

If your site isnt sending password reset emails, it can be one of the two reasons:
1. You are on shared hosting account and your webhost disables PHP mail() function. 2. Your admin/system email address is yahoo email(postfix @yahoo.com). In case 1 you need to contact your webhost for help, and in case 2 all you need is to use a different email address. |
That can't be accurate, HoF. The email I'm using is Gmail and the customer support on my host says it's enabled. T_T No luck for me.

This topic is old, but it's still a problem for me. Whenever one of my users uses "forgot password" they tell me they never got the email. I don't check that table often enough for this method to be convenient either; though it is better than nothing.
