text messages on mac not working el capitan

Today, I searched online for an answer again, and it led me to this post, for which I’m grateful, because it led me to investigate my settings once more, and I stumbled upon the problem and this is what fixed it for me!

This just happened to me the other day, not initiated by anything I did.
