Testing Email

After saving your SMTP settings, click the Send Test Email button (shown below the settings form). A test message will be sent to your admin email address.

If the test fails, double-check:

1. Your hosting provider doesn't block outgoing SMTP on port 587 (common on shared hosting — contact support to unblock)
2. Your username and password are correct
3. If using Gmail, that you used an App Password, not your regular Gmail password
