I have been unsuccessful in the email test. I do not get an error, and there isn’t anything in the log files.
I also tried adding an author, and sending the invite, also no email received.
Ghost 3.2.0
mail is setup as direct (from the default install)
https://thepmdude.com
Installed on a Digital Ocean droplet (I followed the instructions on ghost.org for installing on ubuntu 18.04 LTS)
There are no errors reported in the console.
Hello @gander2112
i am facing the same issue, i just create my blog on digital ocean and i am unable to invite authors, did you solve your issue?
You have to setup mail from Direct to SMTP
Under your ghost installation directory you will get a file called config.production.json
Replace the "mail": {"transport:direct"},
part with following
"mail": {
"from": "yourname<eg@example.com>",
"transport": "SMTP",
"options": {
"host": "yoursmtphost.com",
"port": 587,
"auth": {
"user": "user@domain.com",
"pass": "password"
}
}
},
Adjust the code block with your smtp credentials then Save & then restart ghost.
Your mail should be working
Thanks
