I edited the discourse.conf file to include my smtp server but the app is not sending emails for some reason. Do the parameters need a quotation mark around them here is an example of one of them.
smtp_domain = “smtp.mailersend.net”
I need to use port 587.
How do I edit this to make sure it sends emails because the test email is not even working.
Is this a standard install?
That’s usually not a good idea.
See Troubleshooting Outgoing Email and Troubleshoot email on a new Discourse install
It is hosted here Discourse Hosting, Free Discourse Forum Hosting, Discourse Server
Then you’ll need to ask them how to fix it.
is there a way I can disable force https from the config or database now the site is just loading with a blank white screen.
Mostly discourse won’t work without https.
Like I said before, you’ll have to ask them. Since they are hosting your site, they are the ones who understand how it’s set up. Since you’re not running a standard install, we can’t guess what they might have done or what to do to fix things.
I can’t be of any help.
