Forum: Plugins
In reply to: [Gmail SMTP] Gmail no longer accepting to send emailsHello Noor,
I created a new project and followed the above instructions. It didn’t work but I was able to fix it as described below.High-level summary: the issues were that firstly the plugin still thought it was connected. This was fixed by deleting the app key. Secondly, google created several new restrictions on Oauth apps, which I had to address.
More details:
1. When I reached the corresponding step in the instructions, the “Grant Permission” button failed to appear as expected. To fix this, I had to go to press on the button under: App Settings -> Revoke access -> Delete app keys
2. When I pressed the “Grant Permission” button and logged in on the consent screen, Google informed me that I was not an authorized user of the app. I fixed this by (in the google console) going to “Oauth consent screen” and under “Test users” clicking “Add user”. I then added the email corresponding to my google account.
3. Google then made me pass through a screen warning me that the app was unsafe. I had to click on a tiny almost invisible link (“Proceed” or “advanced” I don’t remember) in order to move on to the next screen.
4. The above fixes were enough to make it work on one of my wordpress sites, but I have a second one. It turns out that the same key can’t be used on two different sites. When I created a new key under the same project everything worked.PS Credentials/App Creation Step 6 has changed a bit: more fields, and now some additional fields (e.g. developer email) are mandatory.
