Undo Opt out?
June 13, 2007, 10:44:37 am
I was testing the opt out system, and now my main account is opting out of all emails. How can I change that back to receiving emails? Because I have done this, the system can't send me a test email as I've marked to not received emails (step 4, test email, sending to is blank: <>).

Thanks!
Crystle

Unfortunately, you have to edit the database (there will be an option to do this in CiviCRM 1.8).

If you’re using graphical database administration system, you have to find your contact’s row in the civicrm_contact database and change the is_opt_out field to 0.

If you have SQL access, run this (replacing 7 with your contact’s id):

Code: [Select]
UPDATE civicrm_contact SET is_opt_out = 0 WHERE id = 7;

Thank you. I don't have access to the SQL, so I've asked the people who do if they can change it.

Ok. Just make sure to let them know what your contact’s id is; when you’re on your contact’s screen, look for the cid value in the page’s address.

I did give them the CID and they changed it. Thanks for the help!
