    I have just purchased Front End PM Pro and am trying to set up email piping. I believe I have everything set up correctly, but cannot find what email address users would use to contact each other. I can’t find anything in the documentation. Can you explain how users can email each other using email piping?

    Thanks for the help!

    Looks like the admin is missing in action. I just bought the plugin but I think I can answer your question. You’ll need to set up an email to use just for the email piping. I set one up called messaging@…. Here are the instructions from the documentation:

    Please go to Front End PM > Settings > Emails > Email Piping.

    Enable (It will add unique code in every message subject)
    Set Piping Email which email you want to use
    Clean reply quote Check if you want to clean quoted messages from email.
    Make sure file wp-content/plugins/front-end-pm-pro/pro/fep-email-parser/email-piping.php has executable permissions. On Linux servers CHMOD this file to 755 (rwxr-xr-x).

    Now copy real path from server of e.g. public_html/wp-content/plugins/front-end-pm-pro/pro/fep-email-parser/email-piping.php

    Now

    Log in to your cPanel
    Navigate to Mail and select Forwarders
    Click on Add Forwarder
    Enter the Address to Forward (Set as Piping Email above)
    Select Pipe to a program (you may need to click on Advanced Options to see the Pipe to a program option)
    Enter the path you have copied above.
    Click on Add Forwarder

    Hope this helps.

    Thanks Ben,

    Thanks for the response. Do you have email piping working for you?

    Hi Josh,

    I have it working. It did take a little tinkering to get the path set correctly in my cpanel, but overall that feature currently works fine on my site,

    And Ben is correct with all of his instructions.

    However, based on your first question, the purpose of the feature is not so users can compose a blank email message in any email client to send to any user. The first message must come from within the FEP messaging portal on your site. When the recipient receives an email notification that there is a message waiting for them on your site, that’s the email they can reply to, to send a message back to the sender.

    Hope that helps, and good luck.

    I set up the piping as per directions
    Im getting notification of a new message but responding directly to the email does not seem to be working.
    Is there something else I need to do?

    Did you follow exactly https://www.shamimsplugins.com/docs/front-end-pm-pro/getting-started-2/email-piping/ ?
    is there any MESSAGE KEY in your email subject?
    did you changed permission to your file?
    are you getting any error?

    Hi Med Coach. It took me a while to get this working myself. The main issue was the exact piping path. It helped to create a script that emailed me when it was run so I could be sure the script was being run, then I used that same path format for this. Also, I had to change the permissions for the piping file.

    Hope that helps,

    Josh

    Hi, so…how do we get the piping path set up correctly?
    I followed all the instructions but Im getting a “delivery failure” message. Yes, message has a [KEY…] into the subject line.

    this is what I get:

    Ok, I figured out the path thanks to the link below:

    Now I dont get a mailer daemon email with an error (not in the recipient inbox nor in the sender inbox – I really got the two cases) and when writting from the FEP, there is no problem. The recipient gets the message and the email… BUT, if the recipient replies the email (yes, with a key in the subject line), there is not a registration in the FEP. I thought that was the whole point of email piping.

    Am I getting it wrong?
