i did but its to no avail

is it possible to use third-party mailing system like MailChimp with ojs

Hi @Amolowe2021,

I’m not sure what more to suggest in this case, unless you’ve pinpointed the source of the issue (email issues may be caused by different things). One other thing I would suggest is searching for other related threads here on the forum that might relate to your issue.

As for the Mailchimp issue, OJS does have the ability to export users, and you could use that to to import users into Mailchimp: https://docs.pkp.sfu.ca/learning-ojs/en/about-ojs#export-users

but it doesn’t have any utility that allows it directly to interact with Mailchimp (so far as I’ve seen).

i would suggest take all settings in inc.php to the administration page. the work on the server-end is not user-friendly.

I would suggest against doing so for security reasons. There are not many cases when you need to edit config.inc.php - mostly for upgrades and for setting up the base_path of a new journal - in such cases you are working anyway on the server-end.
