    I ve seen few people having the same problem and you ve told them to Re-Authentication

    I look forward to hearing from you

    no worries i fixed it

    thx anyway

    How did you fix this?
    I am running into the same issue @princeaction

    i had a similar problem up to a couple of minutes ago, different theme though, the contact forms built in the theme were not working, meaning that i wasnt receiving anything from it, i read a little about php and smtp and ended installing postman and configuring google api. Then i could receive emails from postman’s “send a test mail” feature, but still didnt receive emails from the contact forms, though i noticed that i now had an “email log” in wp tools, and the mails generated in the forms were getting loged as sent, so there I saw and remembered that i configured the forms to send emails to an email alias that i have so i decided to change the form to send email to my main email, and that fixed it. Hope it helps.
