connectivity test doesn't show any result

  • Hi Jason,

    I am trying to debug a “email notification stopped working” issue and as a first step, I disabled/reenabled the plugin and launched a connectivity test. However, the test shows no output at all. The mail server was configured both manually to smtp.gmail.com and also tried to launch the configuration wizard which doesn’t proceed past the smtp server step (doesn’t populate the smtp server and the circle keeps spinning).

    Can you hint at what could be the possible causes for the plugin “connectivity test” not showing any result after multiple minutes (10-12)? Even if there might be firewall issues, atleast the test should reflect that – no? Any suggestion on what could be going wrong here.

  • @eigenvector7, did you solve your issue, I am facing the same , really wanna know the problem with my host provider or with my theme?

    @daoudnagy – unfortunately not in a structured way. Short story – I was able to get the postman working but couldn’t really figure out why it was/is not working.

    Long story – in frustration, I created a sandbox site and reset the plugin on that site. Updated the wordpress and deleted the plugin and reinstalled it. Launched the auto-configuration and nothing happened(stuck at step 3). Removed it again out of desperation to get a clean slate and then tested the following server (instead of smtp.gmail.com or others). https://www.googleapis.com and realized for the first time since the issue happened that I was able to atleast hit the google API specific port but not the SMTP port. It surely points to either my host blocking SMTP ports or maybe this server isn’t meant for SMTP. I then followed the instructions (instructions)to configure the OAUTH2.0 and switched to OAUTH2.0 mechanism and things started looking rosy from there one.

    Unfortunately, on my live site I wasn’t able to replicate the above (since I didn’t want to nuke the plugin completely) and the connectivity tests still stays hung there but I was able to manually configure the setup to exactly what I had with the above mentioned sandbox and things started working. Hope this helps – good luck!!
