Testing Email
After saving your SMTP settings, click the Send Test Email button (shown below the settings form). A test message will be sent to your admin email address.
If the test fails, double-check:
- Your hosting provider doesn't block outgoing SMTP on port 587 (common on shared hosting — contact support to unblock)
- Your username and password are correct
- If using Gmail, that you used an App Password, not your regular Gmail password
