Could not instantiate mail function.

    I have been using WP SMTP Mail for a while now but last night it suddenly stopped working. All I can get out of it is ‘Could not instantiate mail function.’ There doesn’t seem to be any support available so I wondered if anyone else had seen the same thing?

    WP.com: Yes
    Jetpack: Yes
    Correct account: Yes

    The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

    Hi there!

    Thanks for getting in touch. I wasn’t able to find any specific articles on this from the WP SMTP plugin, but this may be helpful: https://wsform.com/knowledgebase/error-could-not-instantiate-mail-function-when-sending-emails/

    It looks like this error is caused most often when the server is misconfigured for sending email. It’s worth checking your plugin settings here, and that your email address for your ‘From’ and ‘To’ addresses are valid, as a starting point.

    Hope that helps – if you have any other questions at all, please don’t hesitate to let us know any time.
