Fix WordPress Email Delivery Issues with SMTP Configuration
Is your WordPress site failing to send emails, or are they landing in spam? Learn how to configure WordPress SMTP to ensure your emails, whether from WooCommerce, contact forms, backup plugins, or WordPress itself, are delivered straight to the inbox.
Why Use SMTP for WordPress Emails?
By setting up WP Mail SMTP, you bypass common email delivery problems caused by default PHP mail settings. SMTP ensures reliable email delivery by authenticating your messages.
Important Note for Gmail Users:
If you’re using a personal Gmail account for SMTP, make sure to verify your domain. Use either the HTML tag or TXT record method to authenticate it. Without proper domain verification, the SMTP API may fail and trigger a 403 Forbidden error. Check the credentials section for domain authentication options.
With this setup, your WordPress emails will be consistent, secure, and professional.
