Topic: email's notification not working properly

Hello!

When activating notification function of the events ("Notification: [ ] now and/or [  ] day(s) before event"), LuxCal sends the message right away, but do not sends any notification related to [X] day(s) before event.

For example, if I create an event and configures it as "Notification: [ CHECK ] now and/or [ 1 ] day(s) before event", LuxCall will send an email to the recipients; but, the day before the event, it won't send any.

By the way, at the beginning I had problems with activating notification feature. Was having some trouble because of WordPress configuration, so I had to install and configure PHPMailer for SMTP.

I have not much knowledge about code and web or software development, however I can learn...

Re: email's notification not working properly

Hi Cantin,
The fact that the calendar sends an email right away (send [X] now) is good; this means that the send email function is working smile
If the X days before the event date is not working, then probably your cron job is not working.
Questions:
• Did it work correctly before, or is this the first time you are using the "X days before event date"?
• Have you set up a cron job on your server (as described in the admin_guide.html, section 3.10)?
