In reply to: PHP Update Causing Website Clone IssuesHi @nwachukwuonwuteaka. Thank you. When I log in to the CPanel, though, I don’t see the clone site listed. Is there a way to know that I’m updating the PHP for the clone, not the actual site itself?
Thanks.

In reply to: Changing WP Admin Email@hyppolitak Thank you. Yes, you are understanding correctly. Thank you for the information about using plugins. For now I will go with the plugin, as I’m not sure how I would configure SMTP directly on the server and it sounds like that is not the best option anyway.
Thanks so much again, everyone, for your help!

In reply to: Changing WP Admin EmailHello,
Thank you all. @hyppolitak I was able to reset the email using the plugin. However, I’d like to not use the plugin in the future. Is there a way to permanently fix this issue?
And regarding Post SMTP: I have that downloaded, but it has not been activated yet because I haven’t been able to change the WP admin email. I wanted to get that changed before changing the emails in Post SMTP.
Thanks again!
Thank you so much! We are working on upgrading our PHP, so I’m glad to hear that will help.
I will definitely look into those anti-spam options. Thanks you so much again for your time and help.
One more question: I notice we have gotten a few “spam” results from the forms–people filling out forms with random information and it gets through to the recipient email–is there any way to prevent this? The people are filling out the forms “correctly” so I’m really not sure if anything can be done. There aren’t many though
Thank you.
Hello,
The contact forms now work! Thank you so much. That was the main issue. 🙂
However, I notice the email log still is not updating. I’m looking at the new one (post migration). Our old one has all the old logs, but none of the new test emails that I sent through yesterday or this morning. The log still shows just like it did in the “Email Log New” screenshot I sent you.
Is there something I need to do to activate the email log or otherwise get them to show up?
Thank you!
Also–do I absolutely need to use one email? I ask because I am the website administrator for this company, but someone else runs our Gmail accounts. So we’re using two different emails, one for Google Cloud Console, and mine for WP. It would be a real pain to have to create a new email account just to get this set up.
Thank you so much.

I am trying to go through the steps to regenerate an ID and Client Secret, but when I try to go to Google Cloud Console to set up Google API, it says I’m not allowed by my administrator. 🙁 I don’t even know who my administrator is! I will find that out and hopefully get access. Appreciate your patience.
(We don’t want to pay for SMTP Pro unless we absolutely have to. Is that recommended? A one-click setup sure sounds easier than doing it manually.)
Hello,
Thank you so much. I will try using your instructions to create a new ID and Client Secret.
Is the diagnostic test report something I should have access to through my host, or WordPress? Or somewehre else? (Again, I’m not a developer!)
Thank you!
