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.
