You're welcome! yes, you typically need to configure SMTP settings for each email service you use on your website. However, once you've set it up, it should work for all outgoing emails from your site, providing reliable delivery and avoiding potential issues with email deliverability.

Hi ! very helpful thank you. But I have a woocommerce website and this method is making my order process slower (when I click on the purchase button, it's taking so much time to show me the confirmation page). And this happening only with a SMTP plugin. How can I fix it?
@darrelwilson

Hey ! Glad you found the tutorial helpful! If using an SMTP plugin slows down your WooCommerce order process, try optimizing your server settings or switching to a different SMTP service. Also, ensure your hosting server meets WooCommerce's requirements for smooth transactions.

Thanks for video, but please how can I fix it if my worpress website is directly on the server, not hosting by the hosts services? I hope I explain correctly
@darrelwilson
2 ай бұрын
If your WordPress website is directly on the server without hosting by the host's services, you can still fix the email sending issue by setting up an SMTP server directly within WordPress. You'll need to install and configure an SMTP plugin, such as WP Mail SMTP, and then input the SMTP server details provided by your email service provider or server administrator. This will route your WordPress emails through the designated SMTP server, ensuring reliable delivery. Follow the plugin's instructions to complete the setup process, and your email sending issue should be resolved.

Hey ! Sounds like your Cloudflare firewall might be blocking SMTP requests. Try creating an exception rule for your admin backend and SMTP traffic to allow them through. Check your firewall logs to identify the problematic rules. Hope this helps! feel free to ask .

if your domain is under another host you will need to point the DNS MX Record to hostinger or you still won’t receive emails regardless of you pay for the hosting plan. that’s a very important step.
@darrelwilson

Thanks for highlighting that crucial step! You're absolutely right. Pointing the DNS MX Record to Hostinger is indeed essential for ensuring that emails are properly routed to your Hostinger hosting. It's a vital piece of the puzzle when setting up email services. Appreciate you bringing it up!"
Is this only for outgoing emails? I have seen when i have emails sent to me from real people that they are not spam are getting into a spam email like it was sent from a spammer.

Yes, configuring SMTP with Elementor forms should work similarly to other WordPress forms. The SMTP setup tutorial should help you resolve any email sending issues you're experiencing, regardless of the form plugin you're using. Just follow the instructions in the tutorial to set up SMTP for your Elementor forms, and you should be good to go! Let me know if you need further assistance with this.

Hello. What can I do when my Elementor Pro contact form is not sending the email notifications for me?
@darrelwilson
26 күн бұрын
Hey! If your Elementor Pro contact form isn't sending email notifications, try these steps: 1. Check Email Settings: Ensure the email address and settings are correctly configured in the form's actions after submit. 2. SMTP Plugin: Install an SMTP plugin like WP Mail SMTP to improve email deliverability. 3. Check Spam Folder: Sometimes emails might end up in the spam folder. 4. Server Email Limits: Ensure your hosting server allows sending emails and check any limits on email sending. 5. Plugin Conflicts: Disable other plugins temporarily to see if there's a conflict.

hey ! It sounds like the emails are sending from your WordPress site, but recipients aren't receiving confirmation emails. This could be due to various reasons, such as email deliverability issues or misconfigured SMTP settings. First, ensure that the SMTP settings in WP Mail SMTP are correctly configured with the credentials from your web hosting server. Additionally, check your spam folder to see if confirmation emails are being marked as spam. If they are, you may need to improve email deliverability by setting up SPF, DKIM, and DMARC records for your domain. If the issue persists, consider reaching out to your web hosting provider for further assistance with email deliverability.

Hey ! If you're encountering an "SMTP Error: Could not authenticate" message despite having the correct username and password, here are a few things to check: 1. Ensure your SMTP settings are correct, including the server, port, and encryption method. 2. Verify you're using the right authentication method for your SMTP server. 3. Check for any firewall or security software that might be blocking the connection. 4. Double-check your SMTP credentials for typos or errors. 5. Be aware of any restrictions from your SMTP provider. If issues persist, reach out to your hosting or SMTP provider for further assistance.
