Hi Nazir,
I’m trying to use Fluent with a primary (using Other SMTP) and a fallback (using Elastic Email). I test it by forcing my primary to fail (set it up with correct username/password, then I change the password on the email host end, causing it not to authenticate within Fluent when trying to send), but then the emails don’t send at all. I would expect it to use the fallback at this point – is that incorrect?
Kind regards,
Geoff
Actually – correction to this. The fallback is being used correctly, but when using Contact Form 7 the message is being passed back to the form that the form has failed to send (presumably from the first SMTP attempt), when in fact it has sent (using the fallback method). Is this something that I can fix so that the front end user gets a success message even if the fallback was used?
Hi!
I get an “Invalid token format” error when sending an email.
How do I submit a support ticket?
Thanks!

Hi there,
I have set up a “Gmail/Google Workspace” connection. Everything done as you describe in the YouTube video! No problems, no errors.
But when I want to send your “Email Test” by clicking “send test email”, that little wheel is turning and turning, but NO test email is sent. Also, no other WordPress email is sent (for example when adding a new user). What can I do?
Best Holger
Hey Holger, This might require troubleshooting please submit a support ticket.
Sorry for the English, I use a translator.
Tell me how to make sure that the mail that is sent from the site is not displayed or duplicated in my outgoing messages in the mail client. I don’t need her there. I use Outlook mail.
Hi Ed, I’m not sure if that’s possible with Outlook, our support team might be able to help: https://wpmanageninja.com/support-tickets/#/

Hi Naim, Probably you didn’t configure FluentSMTP properly. Please configure it properly and it should work.
After installing the plugin I see this message “Please configure your first email service provider connection” How can I solve this ?
You need to configure your email service provider with FluentSMTP. please check the documentations.
