I am subscribed to all of the forums but about three or four days ago I stopped receiving emails to notify me of new posts. Any idea why or what I can do to reactivate them?

I have a slightly different problem but similar. We have two admins. One receives the notification but the other does not. So what is different. Both Admins have the same permissions.

Admin 'permissions', as far as SP goes, are global.

But has your second SP Admin visited the forum admin > Admins > Your Admin Options and actually turned on the option to receive notification emails?

I found the fault with the software. It was the inept end user.

After checking to see if I had made any WP updates or updated any themes I deactivated all of my plugins and made a test post. Still nothing so I sat at my desk sulking for a while before, quite by chance, looking in my spam folder. All of the notifications were there. Gmail has suddenly decided that the notifications are spam. Now I know that SimplePress is working fine I just need to get to the bottom of the issue with Gmail.

Similar thing happened to me. I stopped getting email notification of new posts and PMs. Had recently changed host server as well email host (zoho.com). Thought it was a problem that the server transfer caused, though after reading this, sure enough there they all were in my new email hosts spam folder.

Thanks for the tip.smile

Gmail is terrible for it. You can have everything set up nicely and it will work for months, then one day it will decide to start putting your forum emails into your spam folder!
