  Under ‘share this’ at the bottom of my blog posts, i am choosing the ’email’ option to send the article to myself to test this function. i’ve tried it twice and have not received the article via email (it’s not showing up in spam, etc either). Please help! I want to ensure this function is working as i put some additional resources behind my blog, thanks!

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Please confirm that your email address is correct on your accounts page and that you have checked your spam filter. Also, consult these guides:
  https://en.support.wordpress.com/email-address/
  https://en.support.wordpress.com/email-notifications/gmail-issues/

  There is a single email address that can be used on only one username account and not on any others, regardless of how many blogs are registered under that username account. The blog’s owner can change the relevant email address on their accounts page at https://wordpress.com/me/account

  For Issues Changing your Email Address see https://en.support.wordpress.com/email-address/#issues-changing-your-email-address

  Hey there!

  When sharing your post via email, are you sending it to the email address that’s connected to your WordPress.com account? If so, the system will recognize that the email addresses match and won’t share the post.

  Would you be able to try testing with a different email address than the one that’s connected to your account? If you’re still running into any trouble after giving that a try, just let us know :)
