Sadly, WordPress users experience a problem where the emails do not get sent or they go to spam, ruining their efforts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the methods to fix this issue involves configuring the&nbsp;<strong>Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP)<\/strong>&nbsp;on WordPress. Another option is to use an external email service provider to improve deliverability. In case none of these methods work, we will show you how to check and reset your email hosting.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, before we learn how to fix this issue, let&#8217;s find out what might be causing WordPress not to send emails.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-why-is-your-wordpress-not-sending-emails\"><span id=\"why-is-your-wordpress-not-sending-emails\">Why Is Your WordPress Not Sending Emails?<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>It is essential to understand how WordPress sends emails to find out why it is not sending them. WordPress has a function called\u00a0<strong>wp_mail\u00a0<\/strong>to\u00a0send emails using PHP. This function uses the site\u2019s webserver to route and deliver messages.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once you are familiar with the process, it is easier to point out the reasons why WordPress is not sending emails:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Unable to configure the server.&nbsp;<\/strong>Most hosting companies do not have their servers adequately configured to send PHP emails. On WordPress sites using the default PHP mail function, this causes the issue.<\/li><li><strong>Poor sender reputation.<\/strong>&nbsp;If you are on a shared IP address, other senders using the same server can affect your WordPress email deliverability. If they receive a lot of complaints and high bounce rates, it will affect your reputation as well.<\/li><li><strong>Emails go to spam.&nbsp;<\/strong>Most email providers offer tools to prevent malicious attacks. Unfortunately, WordPress emails can be identified as spam as they are often automated. In addition, the PHP mail function is easy to exploit by spammers.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Plugins.&nbsp;<\/strong>If you employ a contact form plugin such as WPForms, check the email address used. Its mail server also needs to be properly configured.<\/li><li><strong>Host-related issues<\/strong>. Web hosts impose varying limits on the number of emails sent. If you exceed them, you\u2019ll be prevented from sending any more.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>In case you are not sure whether your WordPress site is sending emails and want to find out, here are some of the ways to do it:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Reset password.&nbsp;<\/strong>The quickest way to see if WordPress can send emails is to check whether you receive an email after you reset the password.<\/li><li><strong>Use a contact form plugin.&nbsp;<\/strong>Fill out your site\u2019s contact form yourself to test the plugin.<\/li><li><strong>Verify if PHP Mail is enabled.<\/strong>&nbsp;Run a test on your WordPress site using the free&nbsp;Check &amp; Log Email&nbsp;plugin.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-set-up-smtp-on-wordpress-with-the-wp-mail-smtp-plugin\"><span id=\"set-up-smtp-on-wordpress-with-the-wp-mail-smtp-plugin\">Set up SMTP on WordPress With the WP Mail SMTP Plugin<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Reconfiguring the SMTP server is a popular method to fix WordPress email issues. We recommend using the&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/plugins\/wp-mail-smtp\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">WP Mail SMTP<\/a>&nbsp;plugin, a beginner-friendly tool that can help improve email deliverability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition, this method helps authenticate your email address. With around&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.statista.com\/statistics\/456500\/daily-number-of-e-mails-worldwide\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">319 billion<\/a>&nbsp;emails sent and received every day globally, most email clients look for authentication to avoid malicious messages. This plugin helps emails bypass spam tests and firewalls.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This SMTP plugin works with various email servers, but each server requires different information for configuration and authentication. For example, a Google user needs their Gmail account client ID to use this plugin.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For this tutorial, we will focus on configuring a mail server using a custom email:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Install the WordPress plugin&nbsp;and click the&nbsp;<strong>Activate&nbsp;<\/strong>button.&nbsp;<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img  loading=\"lazy\"  decoding=\"async\"  width=\"570\"  height=\"278\"  src=\"data:image\/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAAjoAAAEWAQMAAABVAK9TAAAAA1BMVEUAAP+KeNJXAAAAAXRSTlMAQObYZgAAAAlwSFlzAAAOxAAADsQBlSsOGwAAACtJREFUeNrtwQENAAAAwqD3T20ON6AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA4MUAT0YAASNFHcQAAAAASUVORK5CYII=\"  alt=\"\"  class=\"wp-image-2525 pk-lazyload\"  data-pk-sizes=\"auto\"  data-ls-sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 570px) 100vw, 570px\"  data-pk-src=\"https:\/\/intechcloudhosting.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/WPForms.webp\"  data-pk-srcset=\"https:\/\/intechcloudhosting.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/WPForms.webp 570w, https:\/\/intechcloudhosting.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/WPForms-300x146.webp 300w, https:\/\/intechcloudhosting.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/WPForms-380x185.webp 380w\" ><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>2.
