### 󠀁[not standard](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/not-standard/)󠁿

 [bigjon2026](https://profiles.wordpress.org/bigjon2026/) Febrer 12, 2026

Feb 2026 – i kept running in issues: emails not sent !! turns out this plugin does
not use wp_mail() in the standard – expected – way. this conflicts with other smtp
plugins on my host… Also the error log only says Error – no extra info.

I am writing to support for the second time. The WooCommerce section is not working!
Settings are not being saved. Could you at least respond and explain why? Is it 
a paid feature or a bug on your side?

There was an error after I opened the plugin. It started well, but I don’t know 
what I configured to cause the problem. [18-Feb-2025 08:44:58 UTC] PHP Warning:

This does the job I need, but is it possible for us to customize the loading screen?
like the color and the layout or maybe disable it?

Полностью рабочий плагин. Есть все, что нужно. Особенно удаление неверифицированных
пользователей. Было бы еще лучше, если бы шаблоны писем интегрировались в систему
писем Woocommerce. Но и так все работает
