Thanks for this straightforward awesome video. But I have a question, does it mean I have to do this for all emails I create on my website ?
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.
Thank you!

Hi Darrel, I'm a huge fan of your content but somehow this video was hard to follow and it felt you left out some steps
Which part? That’s odd, I felt the video was pretty well structured.
Best Content Creator
💯💯
you are the best too :)
The great content.
Another great plugin is Fluent SMTP, can you also do a video about it and maybe a comparison between Fluent SMTP & WP Mail SMTP
well, they both to the same exact thing, the pro versions of each do offer a bit more from one another but i can take a look at it and add it to my list
Fluent SMTP doesn't have a Pro version. And can you also review FluentCRM + Fluent Booking would really like to hear your review on both plugins
Great video👍
But how is this connected to the problem with forms not sending the email?
By adding this plug-in, anything from your wordpress website / contact form. Will go directly to your email ( or clients email )
Top Video!!!
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?
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.
You are AWESOME bro!! You saved me but after everything the test mail landed in SPAM... what do I do? 😥😥😥
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
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.
Im using Forminator and I wasnt resciving email from the forms. This video solved my problem if that helps anyone.
cool :) if you need help 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.
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!"
Hi Darrel thanks for all value you provide for us 🤩, can you do a video about vps and how to configure wordpress and email with it. Thx
ill look into this one
To those who normally use FREE SSL certificates , you need to select SSL not TLS , thats how it worked on 3 of my clients websites.
Appreciate that !
feel free to drop your question in the comments :)
Hi I have cloudflare firewall rules in my website which blocks the backend for admin I did the rules for blocking hackers. When the firewall is activated the SMTP contact form does not work. Any suggestions?
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!

Hi Darrel, but after create the new mail where i can change to my gmail account, and not the host mail?
have you found the answer ? i have the same email question on elementor pro plug in
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.
Can you please help,, I'm using the Forminator form, but I'm not receiving any emails, neither in the inbox nor in the spam folder."
If you follow the video, it will show you how. It has nothing to do with the plug-in or WordPress. It’s mainly due to hosting configurations.
@@darrelwilson Thankyou for the reply, i will definitely try this
Does this also work with Google workspace?
hey
Yes, WP Mail SMTP by WPForms works with Google Workspace. You can set it up with Google Workspace's SMTP settings in the plugin to enhance email deliverability.
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.
It's not just for outgoing emails! You can also use this to filter out spam emails that you receive. It's all about keeping your inbox clean and organized.
@@darrelwilson I do get so many spam emails it's crazy
Does that work with my element or forms?
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.
How do you change the SMTP password in the future? It is greyed out (disabled) with no option to reset or create a key.
Hey !
If the SMTP password field is greyed out, you might need to deactivate and reactivate the plugin to reset the settings. Alternatively, you can try deleting and reinstalling the plugin to enter new SMTP credentials.
@@darrelwilson Thanks for quick reply. I'm running an older site using the classic plugin. Does (deactivate and reactivate) keep the same version? I don't want to break our website.
I am having this error "5.7.8 Error: authentication failed: UGFzc3dvcmQ6" do you recognize it?
Hey !
The error "5.7.8 Error: authentication failed: UGFzc3dvcmQ6" indicates an authentication issue with your SMTP settings. Double-check your username and password credentials in the SMTP setup to ensure they're correct.
I'm very early 😁
welcome to the channel
Mine is working on yahoo mail but not on gmail. What does this mean?
It could indicate an issue with Gmail's settings. Check spam folder and settings. Ensure email configurations are correct for both Yahoo and Gmail. Review Gmail filters. If persists, contact Gmail support.
Test mail is working but not able to send mail from website it was working locally but in hosting its not working
Sure! Here's a concise guide:
1. Verify email configuration settings.
2. Review email logs for error messages.
3. Test SMTP connection for connectivity issues.
4. Check recipients' spam folders for delivered emails.
5. Contact hosting support for further assistance if needed.
We received the emails that the people fill out. but the problem is the people fill out the form can't receive confirmation in their email. Please Help!😢
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.
bro my email sending, but not going to my mail inbox, what is the solve of this?

4. Ask recipients to whitelist.
5. Implement email authentication.
6. Contact hosting provider if issue persists.
didnt work for me , i got ErrorInfo: SMTP Error: Could not authenticate. but i had the right username and password
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.

Hello buddy. Can you help me with this question. I’m watching your tutorial czcams.com/video/n1s2S1GXuns/video.htmlsi=ABm_7XAnjAtaRKdm on how to create a multivendor marketplace. I want to add a pos system to it. I have multiple friends and they want to be able to place orders from their cellphones and cash out orders in order to be deliver by my logistic team… can you recommend a plug-in that can serve as pos, affiliate and more.
you can try OLIVER POS but im not sure if they have a dokan integration.
