    Hi all,

    I have recently updated the PHP version from 7.2 to 7.3.
    After the update I can’t send (test) email anymore, while before I can.

    This is the Test Email log:

    If I switch back to PHP7.2, then I can send e-mails without problem.

    So, why does WP Gmail SMTP not work with PHP7.3 ?

    Please help me out, Thanks in advance!

    If I switch back to PHP 7.2 php-fpm (via PHP Version Selector in DirectAdmin), then the problem is solved.

    But I prefer to use PHP 7.3….

    Why can I send emails in PHP 7.2 but not in PHP 7.3.
    In PHP 7.3 I get this error: “SMTP Error: Could not authenticate.” (see logs above)

    Can anyone please help me?

    I also saw this when testing a solution for a Contact Page theme bug and the local server was running PHP 7.3.1. For debugging reasons I switched to 7.2.14, as the bug wasn’t removed and that particular problem was gone then, as initially expected.

    Note though that in my case Woocommerce messages and test emails from the Gmail SMTP test page worked also under PHP 7.3.

    @magdamunro Thanks for your reply!

    Can it have something to do with the PHP7.3-configuration?
