Yeah it was driving me nuts because I deleted the key/secret (smtp username/password) and recreated them three times before I finally figured it out. I think AWS updated something that affected the IAM user accounts/permissions. Good luck!

Do you use Amazon SES? I just recently started getting 535 credentials invalid. I had to delete the smtp “user” from the IAM and create a new one. Just deleting the key/secret and generating new credentials did not fix it. If you do use SES try deleting the smtp user and creating a new one. This worked for me.

What is your email provider? If you use Amazon SES like I do, I just recently had this problem. I was getting 535 invalid credentials. I had to delete my smtp user from my IAM and create a new one to resolve the issue.

I just wanted to share a recent experience I had which I just resolved. I was getting the error 535 just like this person was. I deleted my existing Key/Secret and created a new one to ensure that I had the correct credentials. I used ss/netstat/nmap/iptables to check what ports were open or if anything was blocked, everything checked out. I used telnet to connect to the amazon smtp host, good. I sent a test email from my SES Account Dashboard, email was received. However, when I tried sending a test email from my smtp mail plugin (wp mail smtp) I kept receiving the error 535 credentials invalid. It was driving me insane! What I had to do was delete the “user” from my Identity and Access Management (IAM) and create a new user. I have no idea why I had to do this. I know I sold a website a couple months ago and my SES account had been inactive since that time but this should not have affected that user. I think something within Amazon changed in the last couple months which affected the IAM users and permissions. Hope this helps someone. I am going to post this in multiple places on the internet so search engines can pick it up.

It’s all good. Personally I just create the headers manually but since this is for a client I wanted to figure out how to use the plugin to do everything and send the documentation to the client. I will submit my future support requests on the plugin website. I pretty much have it all figured out but what I can’t understand is how to add multiple hosts in the CSP using the plugin. This plugin is very nice. Just needs more how-to tutorials and documentation. I am putting together how-to instructions for this client anyways, maybe I’ll send you a copy when I’m done so we can share it with the community. You can close this issue. Thanks ??

I need some documentation on how to use the wp hide content security policy. I gave up and had to manually create it in a terminal session. The plugin’s website has very little instruction on how to use security headers. Namely how in the heck do you use more than one host?? Obviously the host field is not a csv because the commas are automatically removed. https://url doesn’t work because it removes the // characters. If I just had some manual or documentation I could potentially love this plugin. I’m about to open this up in vscode and see what is going on. I kind of assume that plugins you pay for work and have documentation on how to use them…

UPDATE: OK it looks like this might be related to the content security policy. I was doing some more testing and found that I can recreate the issue using this policy. I am going to read some more documentation on CSP and wait to hear back from someone in here. If I figure this out I will report my findings here. Thanks

To a degree you are correct. Hide My WP works fine. It’s just this extra css added to the astra theme. I was hoping I could find a way to use mapping to somehow replace this link with the hidden rewrite link that hmwp creates but have been unsuccessful doing it. There isn’t really a plugin that I could disable because all I have is astra and hmwp active. I will try what you suggested and report back. Thank you.

OK I’ll give that a try and let you know how it works. Thanks for replying!

If anyone wants to know the solution for this…delete all of your shipping zones and recreate them. I was troubleshooting a custom fields plugin and did the thing we all do in wordpress, disable all plugins and roll back to default theme. I removed payment and shipping methods to make testing easier. I was trying to put an order in and was getting this annoying “ERROR: No shipping method has been selected” explained here. Since I was on a test site with plenty of backups I said screw it SCORCHED EARTH! and started deleting everything related to shipping. Once I deleted the shipping zones and created a new one bam, it worked. Also, my plugin started working as well. Backups, backups, backups…so you can scorched earth. I would’ve never figured this out otherwise. Hope this helps someone.

UPDATE: In order to get hmwp ghost to play nice with bitnami you have to enable htaccess. Make sure you are updating the correct conf file. Bitnami documentation changes all the time. For me I needed to update AllowOverride All in the /opt/bitnami/apache/conf/vhosts/wordpress-vhost.conf and /opt/bitnami/apache/conf/vhosts/wordpress-https-vhost.conf files. Once I made this update all was good to go. Hope this helps someone.

Any update on this? I have the same issue.

OK I found an answer. This plugin does not use ReCaptcha v3. It only uses v2.(It would be nice if that was clearly stated on the plugin description page) You will need to log into your google account and set recaptcha to version 2. This sucks. I will probably write my own plugin to handle v3 because for some reason a lot of these plugins look abandoned even though it appears they are being updated. Who is updating them? What are they being updated with? Mysteries…Anyway, hope this helps you get your issue sorted out.

Ran into the same issue. I thought it was working fine until I used another computer. I’m trying to figure this out. If I find out something I was post what I find in here.

I love how this question has been asked all through out the wp community and all we hear is crickets…here is how I implemented it. I simply added the script that was generated when I created the reCAPTCHA key in my google cloud account to the header of all of my pages. My theme had an option to add custom code to either the header or footer so I added mine there. reCAPTCHA is now all throughout my site. I am not sure if I am going to keep it this way. It might be best to only implement this on contact forms and login pages but I will leave it as is for now and see how the experiment goes. If you want to integrate reCAPTCHA enterprise strictly to your contact form 7 stuff you will need to add that script only to that page. Otherwise you should use the legacy or “classic” reCAPTCHA keys. It doesn’t look like the wordpress plugins are adopting very quickly to this. THEY SHOULD…It is relatively easy from a programming view point.
