How do I “update” WP Mail SMTP?

My host/server has verified that my domain has port 465 open. The email form still won’t send email.

This is fun, aye? How can this be so difficult?

What next?

Any chance I can get a response? Thanks!

Thanks but.. nope. Setup the SMTP plugin exactly as it states. Also turned on less secure apps in gmail.

Still doesn’t work.

What else you got?

Thanks.

I gave up on this and just used one that works properly.

Awesome. This is an outstanding plugin. Thanks for offering it.
