I F-bomb-ing LOVE you. Seriously! I spent 2 to 3 weeks a few months ago banging my head against the wall trying to get an email subscription to work on my blog and failing. I had no idea why. It was so frustrating. NOW I KNOW WHY. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!! A million thank yous. :-) Hopefully, now I am good to go!
Perfect! Works with Cloudways as well. 1) Server Management > SMTP > OWN SMTP > Host > [OUTGOING SERVER] 2) Applications > Application Settings > General > from address > [USERNAME] 3) Wordpress > Add new Plugin > SMTP by WP FORM > FILL IN AS PER ABOVE DONE! hope it helps
Adam great video! Absolutely loved the shotgun analogy, awesome dude! Glad you started the conversation. I would like to add some important points. Yes you MUST send emails authenticated. Plus your domain name should have a SPF record that says the SMTP service has the right to send email on your domain names behalf. Plus a DKIM record in DNS is highly recommended as well. We add 'Post SMTP' plugin to our clients WordPress sites and connect it to Mailgun using their API. Easier to set than SMTP.
This. All of this. If you do all Adam says but don't have this right, then you will still have email deliverability issues. I responded to Kevin Roberts above detailing my preference for using Google G Suite for clients for their users' email accounts and using a separate service for all marketing-related and transactional email. I moved away from allowing my web server to also send emails some years ago. Especially on any flavor of shared hosting. Too many variables and risks.
W Kevin Gilbert so for websites with woocomerce where lots of emails are being sent you recommend using the gmail account that the client has? You mean it works more stable?
I actually found this same info at siteground's site: www.siteground.com/tutorials/wordpress/use-smtp Although the video is more helpful. I'm mostly putting this here so I can find that link later. :-)
I have followed through your instructions...and the email goes into my spam folder! (By the way, why apologise? What's the problem? Do not give in to intimidation.) UPDATE: OK, so I backed right out of everything, Siteground included, and then restarted, sent an email, and it appears to have worked. Phew. Also, I want to say thank you Adam for your very informative tutorials. I'm building my first website in about twenty years, this time using Wordpress and Elementor...all new to me. Your tutorials, along with some from a few other guys, have made it relatively plain sailing for me. I'm not finished yet...just heading into woocommerce pages and digital download stuff, so hope you can help there also. Thanks again. Really appreciated.
Thanks so much this maybe from 2019 but it saved my soul! Been using Elastic mail on Cloudways and it's become eratic. Followed what you said and it just works everytime no issue. I can't thank you enough for your help. I owe you a few beers!!!!
Man! I'm glad I watched this! I was getting ready to purchase an email suite for $259.00. I've watched a number of Adam's videos and they are all good; concise and to the point!
You should also ensure the SPF and DKIM (under Deliverability) settings are set in the DNS Zone of CPanel. If not the email still has a 50/50 possibility of going into spam or junk
It is setup automatically from your email provider, in this case your web host. Now if you are using Amazon SES, Yup you gotta add those entires to your DNS.
Thank you for helping me to set this up, I use Bluehost and needed to click on 'connect devices' to find the server and port info, but got it to work eventually. My next question is: Where do I send and receive emails from? Is it somewhere on the WP website? Or do I need to use a mail client? (I have tried to set up using outlook but hit a brick wall) Please help!
@@giftnyirongo201 I managed to get it synced from outlook (online version) but now I'm getting emails from Microsoft saying "It looks like we don't have permission to get email for -----@---.com". So, I'm frustrated again. Help please WPCrafter!
Awesome. Thanks Adam. I've been searching YT on how to fix this issue for some couple days now. Just watched your video and I was able to fix the issue in no time. Thanks.
Thank you for this video. I'd like to add that I couldn't get the email to work via HostGator and had to use my Office 365 email IMAP account details instead. Works like a charm now.
Wow I should have searched youtube for help sooner. I just spent the whole day struggling to connect a contact form up to my site email. Stressed me out so much. I'm going try this out soon
LOLed on seeing the shotgun. Nice touch! One question, though... Isn't it best to use a email service outside your hosting account (e.g. Gmail, Mailgun, etc.)? I know all the hosting companies offer email services, but I've been cautioned against it because, if you switch hosting, migrating email can be a royal pain, and if your hosting goes down, your customers won't have any way of contacting you.
That is my recommendation. But it's actually more than that even. I recommend clients use G Suite (Basic, Business, or Enterprise) and I will set it up for them. G Suite is for individual user accounts and groups/forwarders for the purposes of one-to-one, or one-to-a-few-dozen email communications. I don't use it or recommend it for transactional emails though, which is most of the emails that your website will send. Google still has sending limits that are relatively low compared to true transactional service options such as Mailgun, SendGrid, Mandrill by MailChimp, Send In Blue, MailJet, Mailer Lite, etc. Some of these options offer full-on email marketing services such as campaigns, automations, etc. If you have a site that sends lots of transactional emails, I wouldn't recommend sending them from the same server that hosts your website. The busier your site gets, the more email needs to be sent. The more email your server is processing, the fewer resources are available to serve your webpages quickly.
Fantastic video! I'm very glad to see that you actually elaborate on the reasoning behind everything that must be done, as opposed to just telling us to populate the fields with our info.
Hi thank you for this video. It doesn’t seem to work for my gmail address though. Is there a different process for gmail? Sorry if this question was already asked.
THANK YOU. I've looking around for an hour trying to activate sendinblue or whatever else and failed. This is really what I actually needed. EEASY & SIMPLE. Thanks agian!!
This was a great video. I seen a few like it. But what if you have more than one custom email? For example on my e-commerce website I have an email address for customers and a separate email address for my suppliers. It helps me organize it better by having them separate.
Thank you for this very valuable information. There are however, some slight differences in Siteground currently, opposed to the view shown in the You-tube video. A bit confusing, Everything is changed I guess, from last year. I am having difficulty following along. I am currently hosted with Siteground so I thought this would be a sinch. Need help :)
Hey Adam, I have just followed this tutorial even though I have seen this video 3 months ago, that's what's great with your channel, we can go back and find info when we need them. Thank's a lot, very helpful :)
Hi Adam thank you so much for your very valuable work. Could you please help me with my question.If i create an email address in cPanel & setup Gmail to send/receive emails, do i choose Gmail or Other SMTP as my Mailer Option? Thank you
Hi Adam Thank you for this great tutorial. How to solve 4 minutes delay (SMTP Activation/link) in all Gmail account? is there any configuration to set in SPF? DKIM? DMARC?
Hi Adam! What do you do with these two lines of code? The plugin suggests to put it in the wp-config file. Is it necessary? define( 'WPMS_ON', true ); define( 'WPMS_SMTP_PASS', 'your_password' );
Thank you. Be for I try this , Ive added the elementor pro plug in and the form is included but is going to gmail . Where can I change it to go to a business address. In Wordpress? Or in elementor? Can’t seem to fix this. Also on siteground
Hi, so is this plugin like a re-router of emails? like, are the emails to the host address being re-routed to gmail (f.ex.)? do they bypass the host/web provider? As you can tell, I'm not exactly sure what this smtp process really is.... I'd appreciate any help at all! Anna ;-)
Please don't say so it was really awesome , you made me smile until now every time I see you You're great thank you for the lovely spirit you have. Can you please help me with my previous question if there is any plugin that helps me to make a membership subscription with a premade user name and password so that I give it to some close family members and not to have a public subscription Please.
Adam, don’t apologise for a joke! Who cares is someone decides to take offence at nothing. We cannot let the perpetually offended ban humour. Also loved the vid. When is the google analytics vid due? Thanks mate.
I'm new at this stuff so please forgive me for asking. I am in the process of building a website for the first time. The plug-in I use to create my form is "WP Forms Lite." Is WP Mail SMTP a plug-in to be used in addition to the form plug-in in order to ensure I receive all inquiries? And if I create according to this tuturial, where do I go to see all incoming emails?
That shotgun was priceless!!! Sure as hell didn't expect that from a webmaster. By any chance you don't happen to live in Texas do you? ;) Cheers from Canada.
just trying to grasp this support@ aspect of this video. will we get the response form members to our site? where will their emails go when they address them "support@" . will they populate in our admin default gmail account? if not there where?
Hi, great video ! I also use SiteGround, but what would be the best approach if the website was with SiteGround, but the client had their email service with another provider? Do I get the same details from there email provider? or doesn't it matter because the key thing is that the website is patched into a mail server at SiteGround and so emails will be sent. I have tended to use MailGun for these situations, but would be interested to know how a SMTP approach would work for this scenario.
Awesome video!!! It would have saved me a lot of frustration if I'd seen it before having to submit a ticket to A2 Hosting. Thanks for the great videos Adam!
Hi Adam! I love all you videos! Thanks so much for making them, they are so on point an easy to follow! I do have a question: I set up everything as you said and still my clients do not receive any emails! Do you have any ideas what I can do?
I watched 2 others on creating one with gmail smtp and unfortunately google changed it so the videos don't match up. So this looks great. But, you didn't answer the Alexander Dz's question (which I think is important) "What do you do with these two lines of code? The plugin suggests to put it in the wp-config file. Is it necessary? define( 'WPMS_ON', true ); define( 'WPMS_SMTP_PASS', 'your_password' ); If we do that, then do we delete the password?
Hmmm, I have a couple of clients with e-commerce sites and have their site-name email addresses set in the Woocommerce or contact form send fields and their mail gets through successfully, without an SMTP plugin. Which scenario would the mail NOT go through?
Thank you for this helpful video, I actually followed your instruction and it did work, so now my customer can receive an email confirmation after placing the order, however unfortunately I don't receive any email says someone place an order on my website, I need to be aware of that. Is there any way to make sure I will receive an confirmation too? Thank you again!
How about the scenario that on my web hosting provider, I am not allowed create a mail account? In other words, I have just web hosting and no mail hosting support? Thanks Adam!
Hi Adam! great video as usual...Can you please make a follow up video with this strategy and sending automated newsletter emails using SendinBlue..I'm trying to figure out how to send automated emails once a buyer buys a product online. I'm also wondering if Siteground has the same benefits with Sendinblue's..I know they have an email autoresponder too but I'm not sure if it works the same with Sendinblue...would love to hear your thoughts on that..thanks!
@@WPCrafter as a friendly tip too, please make a playlist with your videos so that others can easily find what they look for when searching on your channel..thanks adam!
@@justgonegaming307 I put all of my videos in categorized playlists. When you are on my channel there is a playlist tab where you would be able to see all of them.
Thanks, one Q: so what happens when GF sends to some other email I set up or WC srnds to another email for customers? gets redirected via the main smtp email in the smtp plugin? no deliverability issues?
Hi Adam, thanks for your great content. I had a problem when doing this configuration on my website, i'm using Office365 for email accounts and it was impossible to make it work with SMTP, maybe there is something I was missing? All my email account were created through Office365 and none of online "tutorials" help me, the WP Mail SMTP test always says that there was a problem contacting the server or something like that
Very important! If it does not work to send to your email address you have to modify the email address in your WordPress profile, because WP Email SMTP and fluentSMTP will take as implicit that address. I hope it will help because it gave me some hassle.
Nice video tutorial Adam, it works with this plugin as expected! I hope this will work well with Elementor form, as well? Because I have a business listing directory website and want to have a way the visitors of my website, send booking requests to the business' owners via my website's contact form. Also, is it possible to receive this email booking request to my email too? As a cc? :) I think yes...?
Hi there thanks for the video is great, now is the same process to receive emails? I was testing my form and I don't received any email in my email address
I have followed this procedure for my site, but for some reason my emails are still being blocked. It says they are being blocked my SpamHaus (for example if I try to send an email to an Outlook email), however I have checked my domain and my IP Address on SpamHaus and they are not on the blocked list. Is it safe to assume that it is my hosting provider who is being blocked my SpamHaus? Any help would be great guys
All the perils of shared hosting. You share an IP address with hundreds of other websites. Someone was spamming causing the IP to be added to a blacklist. Just notify the host and they will get it removed.
Hi Adam, do I need SMTP plug-in if I am using GSuite, Siteground, Woocommerce and now Fluent CRM with Fluent Forms? I was reviewing Amazon SES, do you think will be a good idea to change the email sender to Amazon SES? I am just starting on this email marketing process. Thank you for any advice.
See my 2021 updated version. I found a better way and a better plugin to do all this. Watch ua-cam.com/video/Je0OPk1NnjI/v-deo.html

Simply said... my mails went into spam first. Came here. When I used the SMTP plugin mails go in the inbox as promised. Thank you, Mr.Crafter!

I had a problem when doing this configuration on my website, i'm using Office365 for email accounts and it was impossible to make it work with SMTP, maybe there is something I was missing? All my email account were created through Office365 and none of online "tutorials" help me, the WP Mail SMTP test always says that there was a problem contacting the server or something like that
does Office365 even support SMTP?
@@WPCrafter according to their support team yes. Now thanks to your video guide I can try creating the email account on the hosting provider 👍
Very important! If it does not work to send to your email address you have to modify the email address in your WordPress profile, because WP Email SMTP and fluentSMTP will take as implicit that address. I hope it will help because it gave me some hassle.
Nice video tutorial Adam, it works with this plugin as expected! I hope this will work well with Elementor form, as well? Because I have a business listing directory website and want to have a way the visitors of my website, send booking requests to the business' owners via my website's contact form. Also, is it possible to receive this email booking request to my email too? As a cc? :) I think yes...?
Lifesaver - thanks
Hi there thanks for the video is great, now is the same process to receive emails? I was testing my form and I don't received any email in my email address
I have followed this procedure for my site, but for some reason my emails are still being blocked. It says they are being blocked my SpamHaus (for example if I try to send an email to an Outlook email), however I have checked my domain and my IP Address on SpamHaus and they are not on the blocked list. Is it safe to assume that it is my hosting provider who is being blocked my SpamHaus? Any help would be great guys
All the perils of shared hosting. You share an IP address with hundreds of other websites. Someone was spamming causing the IP to be added to a blacklist. Just notify the host and they will get it removed.
Hi Adam, do I need SMTP plug-in if I am using GSuite, Siteground, Woocommerce and now Fluent CRM with Fluent Forms?
I was reviewing Amazon SES, do you think will be a good idea to change the email sender to Amazon SES?
I am just starting on this email marketing process. Thank you for any advice.
I finally could solve my problem thanks to your good explanation. Thanks a lot!
Finally working ! Thank you so much. Just made my day.
Best intro ever!
Thank you. I like to have fun every now and then.
