Thanks , but my permalinks are using Post name , I tried Velvet Blues Update URLs and now the stream is showing the correct url links although the links are still the default permalink but at least the domain name is now correct.
well I couldn’t wait for my hosting , I’m not the most Patience ;-). @mercime took your advice and installed WP Mail SMTP Plugin, and with some changing of ports all seems to be ok now ( fingers crossed )
Thanks again guys for your suggestions, much appreciated
I am receiving mails from other sources i.e mail clients , gmail etc to the mail address, so still unsure whether it’s a wordpress/buddypress issue or server side issue ….
