    • @darrelwilson
      @darrelwilson  Před měsícem

      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
      @darrelwilson  Před 27 dny

      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.

      hey , ensure you've configured it correctly with your SMTP details. Additionally, setting up SPF and DKIM records can help authenticate your emails and reduce spam chances. You might also want to check the email content and sender reputation to improve deliverability.

    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
      @darrelwilson  Před 8 dny

      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.

    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
      @darrelwilson  Před 3 měsíci

      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.

    • @darrelwilson
      @darrelwilson  Před měsícem

      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!

    • @darrelwilson

      hey , Once you create the new email, you'll need to set up email forwarding or use SMTP settings to link it to your Gmail account. Look for SMTP settings in your hosting control panel or email settings to configure it with Gmail.

      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.

    • @darrelwilson
      @darrelwilson  Před měsícem

      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.
