Configure SMTP
How can I get work with my mails?
Before setting this up, emails related to registration and password reset cannot be sent.
Install an SMTP Plugin:
Navigate to your WordPress dashboard.
Go to Plugins > Add New.
Search for "WP Mail SMTP" and click Install Now.
Once installed, click Activate.
Configure SMTP Settings:
After activation, go to WP Mail SMTP under the Settings menu.
In the Mail tab, set the From Email (the email address you want to send emails from) and From Name (the name that will appear as the sender).
Choose your Mailer. Options typically include SMTP, Gmail, Mailgun, etc.
Enter SMTP Server Details:
If you selected SMTP as your mailer, you'll need to enter the following details:
SMTP Host: Your SMTP server address (e.g.,
smtp.yourdomain.com
).SMTP Port: Usually 465 for SSL, 587 for TLS.
Encryption: Select either SSL or TLS based on your SMTP provider’s requirements.
Authentication: Ensure this is set to Yes.
Username: Your SMTP username (often your email address).
Password: Your SMTP password.
Send a Test Email:
After configuring the settings, go to the Email Test tab within the WP Mail SMTP settings.
Enter an email address to send a test email and click Send Email.
Check your inbox to confirm the email was successfully delivered.
Troubleshooting:
If the test email fails, double-check your SMTP settings.
Ensure there are no firewalls or security settings blocking the connection.
Consult your SMTP provider's documentation for specific configuration details.
