Everything is working fine like emails, order, shopping cart etc. Except "Ask a Question" and "Email to a Friend" button. When click on it getting the 403 error (Page not found). Where as the same website is working fine at GoDaddy servers. My website is: PHP 7.4 with ECT updater 7.4.4 Please let me know if there is any solution for the issue from ECT side. Thanks

I do get the order emails and ask a question emails. I am on godaddy with the newest updater. When it gets late at night, go to bed... try again tomorrow.

It is also much more lightweight and all the javascript for the login machinery plus the messaging system has been offloaded to the ectcart.js file. IMPORTANT NOTE: For security reasons you have to enable each of the messaging services. You have to do this even if you have the Ask a Question or Email Friend functionality included in your product detail page layout. The parameters in question are... usecontactus=TRUE / $usecontactus=TRUE; useaskaquestion=TRUE / $useaskaquestion=TRUE; useemailfriend=TRUE / $useemailfriend=TRUE; Maybe the above will help you out, it did not solve my issue. When it gets late at night, go to bed... try again tomorrow.

drivers Ecommerce Template Expert USA 890 Posts	Posted - 03/17/2022 : 12:08:42 Im not sure if the password reset option has been fixed yet? I have the newest updater (just updated this morning) and password reset emails are still not coming through? Neither are the email a friend, but the ask a question is. Also customers not getting receipts, but admin is getting notification of the orders, ... some emails come through, others do not... any hints? When it gets late at night, go to bed... try again tomorrow.

Also, if you are using microsoft email software/apps like 365... it does not like PHP mailers on servers without modification and advanced settings... still working through that. Additionally, do NOT use email forwarding with 365 and PHP mailers... it causes serious issues, blocks, delays, and problems. When it gets late at night, go to bed... try again tomorrow.
