There was never an issue restoring any site from a backup, or migrating to a new site, 32mb or more(always more in my case). Now there is after I updated the plugin. Enough said.

Yes, that did the trick. I thought it was already on WP HMTL, so that led to the confusion. Thanks again.

Ahhh, of course. Thank you. Much appreciated.

Just for an update, I added this to functions.php in the theme to ensure SMTP secure was set to none:

add_action( ‘phpmailer_init’, ‘my_phpmailer_init’ );
function my_phpmailer_init( PHPMailer $phpmailer ) {
$phpmailer->SMTPSecure = ‘none’;
}

I get the same results with “none” selected for SMTPSecure:

Still stumped as to why its not working.

I’m sorry, I’m not following. I installed the plugin, inserted my SMTP settings and ran the test email. I even disabled/unactivated all of my plugins and received the same results.

I’ve installed a template on my site. I imagine the code snippets you’re referring to would be template related? More saying that I haven’t put any code snippets in relating to the plugin filters, but my installed template would definitely have other snippets in it. Would the template be the issue?
