If you are having trouble sending email notifications from your WordPress contact form, then this is for you.

By default WordPress uses PHP to send emails. This method can be easily misused by spammers and is limited or blocked by many WordPress hosting companies.

Since it is not a secure method, it is also blocked by popular email providers like Gmail and Outlook. This means your emails never reach the users inbox.

Luckily, there is an easy solution to fix that. You can either use a professional SMTP service provider or use your hosting company’s free business email address feature to securely send your emails.

For step by step instructions, see WP Beginner’s guide on how to fix WordPress not sending email issue.
