    Hi all,

    I’ve configured my AWS SES service, authenticated and verified my domain and email address however I am getting the following error with the plugin setup

    Your AWS Access Keys are invalid, please check the credentials you have defined in your wp-config.php and refresh this page.

    I have added the key information directly to the wp-config.php file.

    I have created an IAM user for SES with full SESaccess and generated a key and used this in the wp-config.php file

    Any assistance with this?

    Hi – I ran into this issue and it turns out if you created your credentials through the SES console ‘Create my SMTP credentials’ they wont work.

    You need to create a new set of keys by going through the IAM console, selecting your user and generating new keys. The new keys generated this way should work.

    Hi @geedavies Thank you for that. I did try both ways.

    I have tried generating access keys via the IAM user I’ve made with the specific permission policy – AmazonSESFullAccess but I am still getting the error.

    I’ve added the following to my WP-CONFIG file.

    define( ‘WPOSES_AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID’, ‘XXXX’ );
    define( ‘WPOSES_AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY’, ‘XXXX’ );

    I’m not sure what else to do.. is it a permissions error?

    Thank you.

    If you haven’t already, I would make sure that the access key defines are above the line that says something like “That’s all, stop editing!”.

    If that doesn’t help, you may want to try adding them via the UI to see if they work that way. If they still don’t work after that, I would double check that they are correct and that they have the correct permissions.
