Setting up SMTP on localhost installation
-
Running into an issue I can’t seem to figure out. Trying to set up SMTP on a localhost WordPress installation that is hosted on Yahoo Small Business. I’ve used the WP Mail SMTP plugin with my mail server settings and it fails to deliver a test email. Error messages are:
‘An issue was detected.
This means your test email was unable to be sent.
Typically this error is returned for one of the following reasons:
– Plugin settings are incorrect (wrong SMTP settings, invalid Mailer configuration, etc).
– Your web server is blocking the connection.
– Your host is rejecting the connection.’All of my settings for the email server are entered correctly.
I’ve used the Check Email plugin to check my settings which still shows this: SMTP server (Windows): localhost
Theme and all plugins are up to date, running the latest version of WordPress.
