Hey guys, what's up? I'm Matt and in this video we're gonna fix your WordPress website not sending out any emails. We're starting right now. Log in to your WordPress website. If you're still logging in using /wp-admin/.... that's not a very safe way, so please watch my tutorial about WordPress security, because you don't want to get hacked.
The very first thing we need to check in here, is you go to 'Settings' and you go to 'General'. Now make sure to check that this domain name is your actual domain name. Because if you go to this domain, you can see that this is wpresdoc.com and this is wpresdoctor.com. This will not work. If you have your Gmail over here, and not your domain name, put your domain name in here. So I should do like this [email protected]. That should work. Now when you change this email address you need to verify it first. Once you have verified it, come back and let's go to 'Plugins' and we're gonna 'Add new'. Now in here we go to search for "FluentSMTP" it's this pink one. FluentSMTP states on their website that: "FluentSMTP is free and will always be free! Yes no pro version of license is required!" And you can even connect it with Gmail with Microsoft with Amazon, and it's all free. And that's my friends why I recommend FluentSMTP over any other SMTP plugin out there. I personally used WP Mail SMTP for a long time, but it's expensive! I paid 100Ā dollars each year to get it running with my Microsoft 365 integration. But then I found this guy FluentSMTP! Press 'Install now' and we're gonna press 'Activate'. And we press this big button 'Configure FluentSMTP'. You can see that we can configure all of our email service providers with this plugin and it's all completely free. Now that's really interesting! If you just want to send out emails from your own domain name and it's not working, we can choose 'Other SMTP' over here. This is what we do. We go over there, we scroll down. We're going to connect this website with your custom domain name over here. In my case wpressdoctor.com. First we're going to specify our from name. So it's going to be Matt. Then we're going to put in our SMTP host. Now you want to have this information from your hosting company. This website is hosted on Siteground, if you have a budget it's a real good hosting company. If you're on a cheap side, go to https://wp.discount and you can find all kind of Hosting company with discounts. What we need to do is use our SMTP over there. In our case it is this SMTP outgoing server. So I'm gonna copy this, and then I'm gonna paste it in over there. And then paste in the port. Then make sure to use this port, and paste it in over there. Now the encryption we need to do is SSL. Because it's Port 465. And you might want to change it to TLS and then you have to use this port. But in our case it's SSL. Use Auto TLS, by default it will be used in the server supports it. We'll see about this server I don't know exactly, so just keep this on. And we have to use authentication. Then we're going to fill in our SMTP username....
