    Hello Alan! Q. It seems plugin do not update/refresh the SPF record it displays in plugin settings section no matter if I Disable/Enable plugin or completely reinstall it. Is there some time delay I am not aware of or is it a simple glitch that it will grab the record only upon first install, and won’t refresh changes later?! Thanks.

    The plugin calls directly the php function

    $dns = @dns_get_record( $domain, DNS_TXT );

    So there is no delay by the plugin.

    But DNS itself is propagtes across the world and can take 12 – 24 hours and extreme cases 72 hours

    There are plenty of DNS propagation testing tools on the web you can serach for and see what the state of your DNS updates are e.g. https://www.whatsmydns.net select TXT as the record type for SPF

    Well one of websites do not see DNS records even after multiple days. Records are all fine as I see and can check on whatsmydns. Also emails do come in clean. If background works I am not worried about visual part.
