Why Can't I Find the Mailgun API Key Setting?

why i am not able to find the “Set the mailgun api key setting.” in my discourse forum settings ? running 3.6.0.beta2-latest @Wolftallemo

That’s because it isn’t one. Where did you see that?

Hi @NateDhaliwal , I mean discourse admin settings not plugin , on my other forum hosted with discourse.org they have that setting also this plugin has mentioned to add the API if you check the github about

Interesting. It’s a site setting, from what I can see.

So the forum where you miss the setting is hosted by Discourse?

I think the Discourse team can help you better with the configuration of a site hosted by them. They know which settings they hide from customers and why and are able to change the hidden settings if needed. I don’t think the community support is much help here.

Hi @pinder99! I moved your post and replies to a new topic. Please start new topics to ask new questions, if you don’t find the answer in the forum. Also it is not usually necessary to @ mention specific members in their topics - they will be notified of replies.

This setting is only relevant for self-hosted sites. Email is completely taken care of for you on discourse.org hosting.

what are the options for self hosted sites without the mailgun api setting ?

If you are self hosted then you should see it in your site settings. What happens on your site if you search for mailgun? I see this on my self hosted site:

I have one discourse hosted forum where this site setting is available and one self hosted forum where this is hidden or not available

I was not posting spam or violating guidelines—just seeking clarification on a legitimate configuration change with self hosted & discourse hosted env

hmmm, i think you have this mixed up:

my self-hosted site shows the mailgun_api_key setting in site settings:


however, it does not exist in my hosted site settings:


i even checked your Discourse-hosted site and as expected, it also does not exist there :slight_smile:
