Community Q&A
How do I configure WP Mail SMTP?
Install the plugin, navigate to the settings page, choose your mailer service, and enter the required API keys or SMTP credentials provided by your host.
Why are my WordPress emails not sending?
Most WordPress sites fail to send emails because the default PHP mail function is often blocked or flagged as spam by hosting providers.
Which mailer should I use in WP Mail SMTP?
For best results, use dedicated services like SendGrid, Mailgun, or Amazon SES, or use the Gmail/Outlook API for smaller sites.
