## Frequently Asked Questions

**Q: What should I do if the login email notifications are not sending?**
A: If login email notifications are not sending, first check that the Nexter Extension is properly installed and activated. Ensure you have enabled the Login Email Notification toggle in the Nexter Extension settings under Security. Additionally, verify that the email addresses of the selected user roles are correct and that there are no issues with your WordPress email configuration.

**Q: Are there any limitations to using the Nexter Extension for login notifications?**
A: The Nexter Extension allows for custom login email notifications but does not support sending notifications to users with excluded IPs. If you add IPs to the Exclude IPs field, those users will not receive notifications, which is important to consider if you have users accessing the site from multiple locations.

**Q: What happens if I forget to save the settings after configuring login email notifications?**
A: If you forget to save the settings after configuring login email notifications, none of your changes will take effect. It's crucial to click the Save button after making adjustments in the Login Email Notification popup to ensure that your custom settings are applied and that users will receive the notifications as intended.
