    Hi @clifford2,

    Thanks for reaching out! Yes, enabling email logging can increase your database size over time, since the plugin stores details about sent emails. However, there are a couple of ways to keep that under control.

    When setting up email logging, you can choose to exclude attachments, which helps reduce how much server space is used.

    You can also set a log retention period, for example 6 months, so that older email logs are deleted automatically once they pass that limit.

    You can find more details here: https://wpmailsmtp.com/docs/how-to-set-up-email-logging/

    I hope this helps. Thank you!

    Hi @slier,

    Thanks for reaching out!

    At the moment, WP Mail Logging does not include a built-in feature, filter, or constant to store email logs in a separate or remote database. The plugin is designed to use the same database as the WordPress installation.

    That said, I’d be happy to pass this along to our developers as a feature suggestion.

    Thanks again for the feedback, and please let us know if you have any other questions.

    Hi @jokovic,

    Thanks for reaching out, and I apologize for the inconvenience this has caused.

    Could you please share a screenshot of the notification you’re seeing? That should help us assist you further.

    Thank you!

    Hi @developermr,

    Thank you for getting in touch!

    Per the ww.wp.xz.cn forum guidelines, we aren’t able to move support conversations to private email channels, as support must remain transparent here on the public forums.

    I’ve discussed this behavior with our development team to see how we can best assist. Because One Click Demo Import is an open-source framework integrated with thousands of custom themes, it is difficult for us to provide direct support for individual themes. Our policy is to step in only if the OCDI plugin itself is explicitly causing the issue or failing to trigger a hook correctly.

    Because of this, we won’t need you to send over the actual theme files. Instead, to help us determine whether this is an OCDI core bug or a separate third-party conflict, could you please share the relevant text from your debug.log or the specific code snippet used to register the import?

    You can safely paste the log text here, or share it via a public link using a service like Pastebin or GitHub Gist.

    Specifically, our developers would like to see:

    • The PHP fatal error or stack trace
      Does the trace pass through an OCDI core file, such as /wp-content/plugins/one-click-demo-import/, or is it contained entirely within the Cost Calculator Builder plugin or the theme directory?
    • The JSON/XML payload error
      Is there a specific function in OCDI that is failing to parse the file or hand off the data correctly?

    If the logs show that an OCDI core function is breaking or improperly halting the sequence, we will accept it as a bug and work on a fix for our plugin.

    When you get a chance, please share the debug logs or error traces, and we’ll be happy to take a closer look.

    Thank you!

    Hi @gcayers2,

    Thanks for reaching out! The error: 550 5.1.1: Recipient address rejected usually means the receiving email address does not exist, is misspelled, or is being rejected by the recipient mail server.

    Please double check the following:

    1. Make sure the To Email address in your form/plugin settings is correct and spelled properly.
    2. Check the From Email in WP Mail SMTP > Settings and make sure it is a valid email address for the mailer you’re using.
    3. If you recently changed your mailer settings, try sending a test email from WP Mail SMTP > Tools > Email Test to a different address you know works, such as another personal email.
    4. If the test email fails only for one recipient address, then the problem is likely with that destination email address rather than WP Mail SMTP itself.

    Please give this a try and let us know how it goes. Thank you!

    Hi @joelo246,

    Thanks for reaching out! If your Gmail authorization suddenly stopped working, the most common cause is that the existing Google connection expired or needs to be reauthorized. Google can show an “This app isn’t verified” warning during the custom Google app setup flow, so seeing that screen by itself does not necessarily mean WP Mail SMTP is broken.

    A few things to check:

    1. Go to WP Mail SMTP > Settings
    2. Remove the current Google/Gmail connection
    3. Reconnect the mailer and complete the Google authorization flow again

    If you changed your Google password or enabled 2FA/MFA after the original setup, that can also require reconnecting the account.

    Alternatively, you can also try creating a new Google app and reconnecting the Gmail mailer by following our guide here: https://wpmailsmtp.com/docs/how-to-set-up-the-gmail-mailer-in-wp-mail-smtp/

    Sometimes recreating the Google app and going through the setup again resolves authorization issues like this.

    Let us know how it goes. Thank you!

    Hi @gcayers2,

    Thanks for reaching out! You’re getting that error because your form is trying to send an email without a subject line, which can cause sending problems or trigger an error in WP Mail SMTP.

    I’d recommend checking your contact form plugin’s notification settings to see if there is an option to set a subject line for the email notification. Once a subject is added, that may resolve the issue.

    Since you mentioned that the messages are being stored in an inbox inside WordPress, the form itself is likely still collecting submissions, but the email notification settings may need to be adjusted.

    If your current form plugin makes this difficult, you might also consider switching to a plugin like WPForms, which makes it easier to manage notification emails and subject lines.

    I hope this helps. Thank you!

    Hi @btork,

    Thanks for reaching out, and I’m sorry for the trouble.

    The error you’re seeing means that your site is unable to connect to Google’s OAuth server:

    cURL error 28: Failed to connect to oauth2.googleapis.com port 443

    Since you also mentioned that the WP Mail SMTP settings page takes around 10 minutes to load, this points more to a server-level connection or timeout issue rather than a problem with your WP Mail SMTP configuration itself.

    Because you’re using GoDaddy hosting, I’d recommend contacting their support team and asking them to check whether your server is able to make outbound connections to:

    oauth2.googleapis.com on port 443

    You can let them know that your WordPress site is timing out while trying to connect to Google’s OAuth endpoint, and ask whether there are any firewall, DNS, or outbound connection restrictions on the server.

    You can also share your Site Health info (WordPress Tools >> Site Health) with them.

    I hope this helps. Thank you!

    Hi @bgrgroup,

    Thank you for reaching out! I apologize, but WP Mail SMTP Lite (free version) does not have a feature to store email logs. Unfortunately, this means there’s no way to recover your emails while the WP Mail SMTP plugin was not functioning on your site.

    Please kindly know that the WP Mail SMTP plugin acts as a bridge between your WordPress site and your preferred email account or mailing service.

    Some email providers may keep a log of their emails, so I suggest you contact your email provider to see if they can provide any information. Additionally, some web form creation plugins on your site may have a feature to store such entries. You might want to reach out to their support teams to see if you can recover those entries.

    I hope this helps. Thank you!

    Hi @roman123234,

    I hope everything is going well! Since we haven’t heard from you in a while, we’re going to go ahead and close out this thread.

    However, if you still need assistance, just respond back at any time and it will reopen this thread.

    Thanks!

    Hi @skafte,

    Thank you so much for the kind words! We are thrilled to hear that you are finding the plugin helpful and easy to use.

    We also really appreciate you taking the time to share this feature request. Adding an attachment indicator or icon directly to the email list view is a great idea, and it makes perfect sense that it would speed up the process of scanning through logged emails.

    I have noted this down and will be sharing your suggestion with our development team for future consideration. We always rely on feedback like this to help us improve the plugin.

    Thanks again!

    Hi @caitlin33,

    Thanks for reaching out! It is great that your test email is already working. That is always the biggest hurdle! However, to keep your deliverability high and prevent future issues, we do highly recommend double-checking both the From Email and Return Path settings.

    Here is a quick breakdown of why they are important, even for a basic setup:

    Force From Email: We generally recommend checking this box. Many contact form plugins default to sending notifications using the website visitor’s email address as the “From” address. Strict email providers (like Gmail or Yahoo) will flag this as “spoofing” and block the email entirely. Forcing the From Email ensures all emails are sent from your authenticated address, which keeps them out of the spam folder.

    Return Path: We also recommend checking the box to Set the return-path to match the From Email. If an email fails to deliver (for example, if you send a reply to a user who made a typo in their email address), the bounce notification needs a place to go. Setting the return path ensures those bounce messages come back to you, and it also helps align your emails with standard anti-spam policies.

    Double-checking these settings will help ensure your setup runs smoothly in the background without triggering any spam filters.

    I hope this helps. Thank you!

    Hi @bobbi2,

    Thanks for reaching out!

    To answer your question, keeping an email log is generally a great practice, especially if you ever need to troubleshoot lost messages. However, the Email Log feature is actually part of the paid WP Mail SMTP Pro version, so it is not available to toggle on in the free version you are currently using.

    That being said, since you are just using it for basic form emails, you likely don’t need continuous logging from the start. Once you have successfully sent a test email from the WP Mail SMTP -> Tools -> Email Test tab, you can be confident your configuration is working properly.

    I hope this clarifies things. Thank you!
