Hello, we’ve installed activated and configured the automated email reminders pre-release plugin. However, they aren’t sending. What are some settings / options I should double check to troubleshoot?
Does generate and send all messages in message setting matter? (on same request or on a seperate request)

Hi,
May I ask did you follow the set up guide?

Hi Josh, yes we did, the only area we did not was in the scheduling settings. After we set the number for 1 day, there was no drop down below that option. On the link you provided there should’ve been a drop down for “Scheduling for this template is on”. We did however make sure the activated bar was clicked at the top of the template page.

One thing to be aware of is the scheduling settings work on a 3 hour cron, so the email could go out anywhere within a +-3 hour range of 1 day before the event when that’s set to 1. If you view the Event Espresso > Messages Activity page are there any emails of the Upcoming event type logged there?

Hi Josh,
There are no emails logged for it. Nothing in the queued for generating or sending?

May I ask did the site in question ever have earlier versions of the Automated Upcoming Event Notification add-on or has it only had the current version of the beta?

Do the other types of emails send? (e.g. Registration Approved and/or Payment Received)

Yes all of the other emails send just fine, the automated emails are the only ones not initiating?

Thank you for confirming.
One thing to bear in mind is the Automated Email Reminders add-on is currently beta software that has not been officially released, so we expect there to still be bugs.
Maybe what you could do is head over to your site’s Event Espresso > Maintenance > System Information page, then hit the “Download to File” button. Then you can attach that to an email and send to the support email address.

Thanks for sending. One thing to check would be if scheduled tasks are working on that site. A quick way to check is install the Health Check plugin then go to Dashboard > Health Check. On that page is a table and it will have a “Scheduled events” row which will have a status message for scheduled events.

Hi Josh,
There is an issue it says:
A scheduled event (check_plugin_updates-eea-promotions) has failed to run. Your site still works, but this may indicate that scheduling posts or automated updates may not work as intended.

The loopback requests line in debug says
The loopback request returned an unexpected status code, 401, this may affect tools such as WP_Cron, or theme and plugin editors.
Thoughts?

Thanks for checking. The solution outlined here is probably the solution to this, since the loopback request is resulting in a 401 error.
If changing to use the Alternative wp-cron doesn’t help then you could contact your webhost and ask them if the server can be updated to allow for loopbacks for wp-cron. The Automated Email reminders plugin uses that same wp-cron scheduler that failed the check outlined by the Health Check plugin.
