   This post is WAY out of date. You now need to set up an API and OAuth on Google. The WP Forms website has full details, but allow 15-20 minutes to do so.

       I have just tried this out and it does still work but you have to set “Allow less secure apps: ON” in your Google account, which is not recommended.

   I installed the plugin but I cant see the options such as those iin Mailer and also cant view the option of SMTP Host, Port, Authentication, Username, Password, etc. In mailer I haveoptions such as PHP, Google, Maligun, Sendgrid, Other SMTP. If I click on Google, they ask Client ID and Client Secret.

   What to do?

    You have to go into your Google account and turn on the feature “Sign In & Security > Connected Apps & Sites > Allow Less Secure Apps > ON”.

      Hi Steve

      What’s the navigation to get to the sign in and security > connected apps etc? Loads of tabs on the top once in settings, each with multitude of options.
      Thanks,

        From your Google account:

        [Settings -> Accounts and Import -> Other Google Account settings -> Sign-in & security -> Connected apps & sites -> Allow less secure apps (turn ON)]

      Same here. Otherwise gmail would authenticate because of the “Less secured application”

      Hi,

      Looks as though it’s failed to Authenticate. Try ensuring your Email and Password are entered correctly.

    Works! Thamks for the manual. Google asks to ‘Enable access for less secure apps’ in Gmail, but for testing purposes I see no problem..

    Responder

19. deepika

    It shows ‘Test message sent’ but I didn’t get any mail.

20. CarolineElisa

    Thanks for this suggestion, but I can only get it to work if I ‘Enable access for less secure apps’ in Gmail, which Google does not recommend. Any other tips?

    Hi! Thank you for a great article. I’m trying it all out, but still get an error when sending the test email: SMTP -> ERROR: Failed to connect to server: Operation timed out (60). So I did as suggested, added extension=php_openssl.dll. But nothing seems to work Anyone have another idea? Thanks!

    After sending the test email, the browser loads infinitely without any indication of success/failure. How can I fix?

    This suggestion should work, But if you got error saying “Failed to connect to server: Unable to find the socket transport “ssl” ” ,
    Then Please do the following

    1. Edit your php.ini from your installed php folder

    2. Search for extension=php_openssl.dll

    3. The initial will look like this ;extension=php_openssl.dll
    Remove the ‘;’ and it will look like this extension=php_openssl.dll
    If you can’t find the extension=php_openssl.dll, add this line extension=php_openssl.dll.

    4.Then restart your Xampp or LAMP or APACHE server (depends upon which of these you’re using).
