I am trying to set up emails on my WordPress website using the WP Mail SMTP plugin and the Gmail API. (WordPress version 5.5.1; WP Mail SMTP Version 2.4.0)
The website I am trying to set this up on, https://souheganvalleychorus.org/ is part of a GSuite for non-profits domain.
I have followed the WP Mail SMTP setup instructions on:
https://wpmailsmtp.com/docs/how-to-set-up-the-gmail-mailer-in-wp-mail-smtp/
with meticulous care. However, when I get to the final step, where I click on the WP Mail SMTP plugin's setup page, and click on "Allow plugin to send emails using your Google account", get prompted with some dialog boxes, choose the email address that I used to set up the Gmail API, it finally comes back with a webpage that says simply:
Unauthorized
Back {a link}
the URL for this page is:
https://souheganvalleychorus.org/wp-admin/options-general.php?page=wp-mail-smtp&tab=auth&code=4/4AEw2mlaJPMgOg7boWHzLLDIJdg0Gwb98vGyJfrteQXcOE5cnL1HMj5wX6QSRZQ0x2rhrbxlzqKPBsF7uokdWCg&scope=https://mail.google.com/
I have been pulling my hair out trying to figure out what is happening, and what I can do to fix it. The 'Unauthorized' provides absolutely no additional information.
I have previously set up the WP Mail SMTP plugin to use the Gmail API, on another website (also a GSuite for non-profits domain, but a different one), and succeeded in that case. I seem to recall having had some problems setting that one up, too, but don't remember how I resolved the issue. When you do something (especially with such an arcane interface as the Google API interface) once in a blue moon, you tend to forget the details. I have tried to compare the two Gmail API setups, and can find no difference that would explain the failure in the current case.
I sure would appreciate anyone's help in resolving this. Until I do, I can't send email from the website. I've also tried using WP Mail SMTP's "Other SMTP" option, with the Gmail SMTP credentials, but that fails to authorize, so I'm stuck...
Help! (and thanks!)

I have a client with a Wordpress website. The contact form stopped sending, so I found a plugin called Mail Integration for Office 365/Outlook that could use his MS365 email to send all email from the website using that account.
I installed the plugin and followed the instructions to create an Azure AD App Registration and configure the plugin with the appropriate data from the App Registration. I tried submitting the contact form and there were no errors on the page (it gave me a success message), but the email never arrived in my inbox (yes, I checked spam). I installed a different form plugin, WP Forms, and put it on a test page. The call to admin-ajax appears to be going through successfully, receiving json with success and a confirmation message (which it outputs to the page).
So I searched the plugin's support forum where the creator mentioned using the plugin Check & Log Email to test that the emails are sending. I installed/activated the plugin and sent a test email. It shows it as sent successfully. It never arrived in my inbox (yes, I checked spam).
I have checked the error logs and didn't see anything helpful.
To fix the issue, I first need to find it:
Do I need to complete additional configuration that I've just missed?
How do I find out if the plugin can even connect to the App Registration? It doesn't have a Test Connection feature, which it clearly needs. The reviews on the plugin page are all positive and recent, so it's working for other people.
How do I troubleshoot this from the Azure Active Directory side to make sure it's receiving data?
Please help! Thanks.
I am not techy, but I have built my own website using WordPress, via BlueHost as the hosting platform. I followed the Astra theme for my website. Everything works fine and the website is ready to go live apart from the contact form. When I test it, the message does not come through to my linked email address (Outlook email address). I am using WP forms for the contact form and I have downloaded the WP Mail SMTP plug-in as advised in an article I read. The notification emails are all set correctly to the email where I want to received etc. The exact error message I am receiving is "SMTP connect() failed", I have also had messages about authentication when trying to resolve this. I contacted Blue Host chat support, but they were not very helpful. Can anyone help?
I am using "RealHomes Theme" for my project but the problem is while registering as a new user it is successfully adding but unable to get an email verification for the user.
Try disabling all of your plugins and using the default theme.
If you're able to register and get the email, turn on all plugins and try again.
If you still get it, it's an issue with the theme and you should take it up with the developer.
If not, disable all plugins and change back to your RealHomes theme.
If you get it from there, it's a plugin conflict and you'll have to diagnose that and remove/fix the plugin causing the issue.
However, if you can't get it at all, even with the theme/plugins disabled; it's probably because all-to-often WordPress emails get sent into spam or the void, and it's then an email issue which is harder to diagnose (is it your server, potential blacklisting [use MXToolbox to confirm], email provider issue?).
We had this issue a lot, and to mitigate we started to use wpMandrill and enabled DKIM and SPF on all domains we send from which increased out WP email delivery rate to almost 100%.
Make sure you have DKIM and SPF records for your domain, and are sending from an account that exists on the same domain such as:
https://example.com/ should be sending emails from something like WordPress#example.com
I 'm trying to fix a problem here in a wordpress eviremont which I'm also new to. I want to get a form running but it isn't sending emails. Currently I'm using Caldera Forms with the WordPress email system. What I want to do is that everytime somebody applies a form, I want to get a email with the content of the form and the user who applied to the form should get a normal autoresponder email. I think this should work without any email plugin or something else, but I'm not sure. I'm trying to fix a probleme here on a wordpress site which crashed after too many people visited this page. Now, the email system espacially the send and receive a email if somebody applied on a form, is not working anymore.. As mentinoed, I don't think that you need a email plugin to do that. I'm right?
Further, the emails get hostet by CrazyDomains. If I use the webmailer, I can receive and send emails from the emails on CrazyDomains.
Where could be the problem?
A plugin called Postman SMTP generates a log which also logs the form emails. This log says:
"250 OK" (I shorted the log). So, it means, the email should be send. For no reason, as already written, I do not receive and get emails with the form...
This plugin is connected with GMAIL API. I don't know why and for what that is...
I already deactivated all email plugins and tried different form plugins like Gravity Form or Contact Form. But same result...
How can I figure out whats the problem and how can I solve it?
I would be very happy about help.
Greetings and Thank You!
Here you can find a Quick config smtp https://www.crazydomains.com.au/help/getting-started-guide-email-hosting/#SDj5xkUTdbsVJ4mL.97.
Maybe email went in the spam section, or you had not configured good the smtp.
You can try to install https://it.wordpress.org/plugins/wp-mail-smtp/ and configure email sent from wordpress as say the crazydomains guide, so with the port 587 etc.
I am using contact form 7 one of my wordpress site that using vantage app theme. But problem with sending contact mail. when I am trying to send mail get following message
"Failed to send your message. Please try later or contact the administrator by another method."
Thanks
The only problem is you can send emails from you hosting domain email accounts only.
so check your to email address that is comes under you domain name
I hope this will solve your problem
This is almost certainly due to your particular hosting setup. There are a host of issues that can stop the sending of emails. It depends entirely on your local Server & WordPress configuration.
You will need to investigate this issue for your particular local configuration. See Contact Form 7 Email Issues.
By the way it's not due to "hosting php version or maybe mysql version" - it's due to basic stuff that you can address by working through the issues in the link.
I faced the same issue some time back. Are you using any WordPress caching plugin? like WP super-cache? I resolved this issue by following below steps on WP Super-cache.
Go to WP Super-Cache Admin panel
Go to “Advanced Tab”
Search for “Add here strings (not a filename) that forces a page not to be cached.”
Add '/contact/' (your Contact Form Page name)
Save Strings.
I was able to fix this problem after I spoke to my client's hosting company. The host claimed that the only requirement they had for emails to be passed through their system was that either the To: or the From: field contain an email address under the hosted domain name. They uploaded a test script (an ordinary PHP mail script) where the From: field was set with an address within the domain and the To: field was set to an outside email address. That script worked. I confirmed that I had the To: field in CF7 set to an email address within the appropriate domain but the form didn't function. Then I set the From: field to an email address within the domain and the form finally functioned. It appeared, therefore, that the host was incorrect about the To: field's address being within the domain being sufficient.
Into the "Form"(inside the mail menu) section you've to give the domain name of your site. And inside the message body use the short codes which will appear into the top of the mail menu.
And when you create a form field such as "name" / "email" / "phone no" etc, then give a name to them. Those name turns into a short codes like
[your-name]-Name, [your-mail]-Email(those are defaults, you can give any name according to your choice) etc, copy the short code and paste into the message body, don't write it only copy and paste.
Hope this will help you.
This suggestion depends on how your hosting provider deals with mail headers:
So, I have made all tests (javascript conflicts, etc.) and decided the problem could only be from my host. I contacted them and they told me that in email header, the "From:" SHOULD be exactly the same as the email I configured to receive the messages from my visitors.
As far as I understood, by default "Contact Form 7" uses visitor email to put it in "From:" but some host providers do not allow that.
My host provider don't even allow mail() function so I had to install WP MAIL SMTP.
So, resuming, I just added this to all my forms in "Additional headers":
From: your#domain.com
This means, you have to insert one email with same domain name as your website, otherwise your hosting might not send the email.
I lost a couple of hours with this...
Maybe is another plugin incompatible with contact form7 plugin.
Deactivate all plugin one by one and try send email.
I fixed the problem. webadmin email account was not setup. Once I setup the email account it is working fine.
