Why are notification emails not delivering?
99% of email issues stem from unauthenticated server mail (wp_mail()). Ensure that:
- You completed Step 4 (SMTP setup) in the NativeDesk > Mail settings tab or through an active SMTP plugin.
- The “From Email” address matches the domain authorized by your email provider.
- You have sent a successful test email using your SMTP diagnostic tool.
Can guests submit support tickets?
Yes. The shortcode accepts submissions from non-logged-in users. When a guest submits a ticket, they will receive an automated email confirmation with a secure access link to view updates.

Can guests access the ticket portal?
No. The shortcode requires an active account session so customers can securely browse their request history. Unauthenticated users viewing a page with will be prompted to log in.
Why are live polling or REST API updates failing in the admin area?
If ticket updates fail to load dynamically:
- Check if a caching plugin or security rule (e.g., Cloudflare, Wordfence) is blocking REST API endpoint calls (
/wp-json/nativedesk/...). - Ensure NativeDesk is updated to version 1.8.3 or higher, which includes REST API security and endpoint hardening.
