Thank you for your response.
However, I am still confused. I receive the notification perfectly, but the email and attachment still does not reach the recipient. Back to the drawing board…

Hi again @ethanchoi
Hmmmm, I am now really confused and think that I may have settings incorrect elsewhere.

I first tried sending it to my gmail…. no attachment, which is why I began this thread. However, my gmail is also linked to my blog site and I now think that the ‘test’ email was actually a confirmation email.

Based on your last message, I sent it to my hotmail, but did not receive the email at all.
I also sent it to my son’s gmail, again nothing.

I then check my webmail for my blog ([email protected]) and there are all the emails in THAT inbox, with the attachment!

How on earth did I manage that???? !!

Thanks
Jude

Dear @ethanchoi

Hi Jared
I am now using Easy WP SMTP
Thanks
Jude

Thanks for the help.
Unfortunately it is still a problem, so I have installed a new plugin .

Thanks again, though.

it still says 570 ?????

Hi Sanjeev,
I reverted the port to 465 and it didn’t work.
I contacted BlueHOst and they said:-

Sanjeev,
Thanks for the feedback,
Bluehost told me to change the port to 570 while they were trying to resolve the problem.

I will revert to the original, give it another go and create a new support post if needed.
Jude

OK thanks for you help and advice.
I guess it doesn’t annoy me too much!! I will just remove the title and tagline.

Thanks agai

I see.
Id prefer the first option, is it as simple as adding in some CSS? Anything more complicated and I will go for option 2
Thanks

yes! exactly as you have indicated on your link.

Then, straight into the posts
Thanks in advance

Thank you.
I have removed the CSS

will give that a go.
Thanks

and WP Mail SMTP Lite

WP Forms, but not pro
as I am on a very tight budget
