An error has occurred:
The messages were not generated. This could mean there is already a batch being generated on a separate request, or because the selected messages are not ready for generation. Please wait a minute or two and try again.

I followed all of your instructions and I am still getting this error. All of my settings are correct.

HELP!

Hi there,

Can you let us know which instructions you have followed, please?

When are you getting that error?

the test emails are coming in… but not the emails from the Message Activity area.
Also, the event is not creating a user… SMH

Have the email sent but are not being received or they not sent?

Do you see the messages in the activity list with a green bar to the left?

Also, the event is not creating a user… SMH

Have you installed the WP user Integration add-on and configured it to do that on the event? – http://take.ms/U5W8I

Those instructions you followed were?

Events shouldn’t be creating users, but maybe you can explain a bit more about what you mean by that.

Tony,

NEW USER EMAIL: So, I sign up with my personal email for an event. I do not get an email nor do I get a new user has been created email.

ADMIN: The Admin gets the email about a new registration notification.

The messages in the activity area are green.
I have installed the WP User Integration.

Hey Josh,
The instructions I followed were from this post:
https://eventespresso.com/topic/emails-are-not-being-sent-out/
[CO_FORMATTED_EMAIL] change to [CO_EMAIL]
[EVENT_AUTHOR_FORMATTED_EMAIL] change to [EVENT_AUTHOR_EMAIL]
[ESPRESSO_ADMIN_FORMATTED_EMAIL] change to [ESPRESSO_ADMIN_EMAIL]
Those settings are all correct.

Thanks guys!

You mentioned that you got the email when you clicked on the Test button. So it may help to go to Event Espresso > Messages > Message Settings and set the the option for emails to be sent on the same request.

You can also install this plugin to verify whether the mail actually gets sent or not:
https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-mail-logging/

It’s important to discern whether the emails are actually not getting sent, or if they’re actually getting sent, but not received. If you find that they’re getting sent, can you check to see whether the emails are getting trapped in the spam folder?

In most cases, setting up a third party service to deliver email will resolve email delivery issues. The built-in mail servers (especially those that are used for shared hosting accounts) can be unreliable. We recommend using a service like Mandrill, Postmark, or any of the other services listed in our documentation for sending transactional email. More info here:
