Authorize.net payment gateway send mail disabled in wordpress

A common issue!

Authorize.net's payment gateway integration in WordPress can sometimes cause issues with sending emails. Here are a few possible reasons and solutions to help you resolve the issue:

Reason 1: WordPress's email settings

• Check your WordPress site's email settings to ensure that the email address is set correctly and the mail server is configured properly. You can do this by going to Settings > General in your WordPress dashboard.
• Make sure that the "From Email" and "From Name" fields are filled in correctly.

Reason 2: Authorize.net's email settings

• Check your Authorize.net account settings to ensure that the email settings are correct. You can do this by logging into your Authorize.net account and going to the "Account" or "Settings" section.
• Make sure that the "Email" or "Notification" settings are enabled and configured correctly.

Reason 3: Plugin conflicts

• Check if there are any conflicts with other plugins that might be interfering with the email sending functionality. Try deactivating other plugins one by one to identify the culprit.
• If you're using a caching plugin, try disabling it temporarily to see if it resolves the issue.

Reason 4: PHP mail settings

• Check your PHP settings to ensure that the mail function is enabled. You can do this by creating a PHP file with the following code:

  <?php
  phpinfo();
  ?>

  Upload this file to your WordPress site and access it through your browser. Look for the "mail" section in the PHP info output. If the "mail" function is not enabled, you'll need to contact your web host or server administrator to enable it.

Solution:

To resolve the issue, try the following:

1. Check and update your WordPress site's email settings.
2. Check and update your Authorize.net account settings.
3. Deactivate other plugins and test the email sending functionality.
4. Check your PHP mail settings and enable the mail function if necessary.
5. If none of the above solutions work, try contacting your web host or server administrator for assistance.

If you're still having trouble, please provide more details about your setup, including the version of WordPress, Authorize.net, and any other relevant plugins or software you're using.
