Wp not sending emails

    Greetings
    I am in the early stages of building a new wordpress site. This is the first time I’m using the WooCommerce payments plugin. Configuration went well and the plugin works. However, wordpress nor WooCommerce is sending out any emails, not to customer or admin. I have tried to configure SMTP settings according to my hosting server. A test mail seems to be send but admin gets an error Mail from the hosting server that something is wrong.
    I have also tried to use PHP Mailer, however standard it’s using port 25 which is rejected by the hosting provider. I can’t find any way to change that isn’t a different port.
    I have build several wordpress sites already but this problem never occurred. The site builder I’m using has always been the same, only WooCommerce payments is new. I have spent several hours to determine the solution but without result. The only thing I didn’t try is deactivate the plugin. When I do so, will all settings be lost or are they saved and ready for use when reactivating the plugin? Thanks for the help.

    Hey there!

    However, wordpress nor WooCommerce is sending out any emails, not to customer or admin.

    If your site is brand new sometimes DNS setup takes about a day or two to get completely set into working order. If your site isn’t brand new, this sounds like your site is unable to send emails using your server or your emails are being blocked by spam filters. This is a common issue with sites using the default PHP method for sending mail, which can have a number of issues.

    To solve this you could first get in touch with your host and see if they can fix any mail issues. I would then suggest setting up an account at one of the dedicated SMTP providers I’ve listed below. All have free account plans available and typically can be set up in a matter of minutes. Each service also has a plugin available on www.remarpro.com which makes the setup process easy.

    You can also use a plugin like MailPoet (which we make)? which will allow you to send email to any functional address, even one you create from your web host. https://www.mailpoet.com/smtp-for-wordpress/

    The only thing I didn’t try is deactivate the plugin. When I do so, will all settings be lost or are they saved and ready for use when reactivating the plugin? Thanks for the help.

    No settings should be lost in deactivating the plugin.
