# Gmail not authorizing

 * Email had been working well (I’m not sure when it started to fail). Per troubleshooting
   instructions, I deactivated the Oauth, then tried to set it up again. It didn’t
   work, so I created a new app and credentials in my cloud console (this is a Google
   Workspace email). I added everything in, clicking on the authorize google orange
   button, and went through the authorization steps in the new window. When it returns
   to WordPress, the authorize google orange button is still there, and I can’t 
   send test emails. Is there anything I can do to get this working again?

 * Hi [@rgystudio](https://wordpress.org/support/users/rgystudio/)
 * Thanks for reaching out and we’re sorry to hear that you are experiencing issues
   with the Google mailer.
 * First off, please ensure that you are using the latest version of WP Mail SMTP(
   3.8.0). Also, in case this is a plugin, theme or custom code conflict, please
   try temporarily disabling your nonessential plugins and swapping to a default
   WordPress theme. Ideally, these steps should be performed on a staging website.
 * To confirm if this is a mailer-specific issue, you can try setting up a different
   mailer. As a quick test, you could try setting up the [Other SMTP](https://wpmailsmtp.com/docs/how-to-set-up-the-other-smtp-mailer-in-wp-mail-smtp/)
   or [Sendinblue](https://wpmailsmtp.com/docs/how-to-set-up-the-sendinblue-mailer-in-wp-mail-smtp/)
   mailers.
