Hi guys,
Today we’re going to see
how you can receive wordpress emails to your inbox, instead of spam.
Let’s say you have a wordpress website,
and you have a contact form like this.
Now if a visitor fills up this form
and tries to contact you,
Wordpress will send you an email.
So now If we go to our inbox,
You can see that
we have not received that mail in our inbox.
Instead,
it has gone to our spam folder.
Because of this,
you might miss important emails from your visitors.
Also if wordpress sends emails to your visitors,
that can also go to their spam folder,
which looks unprofessional
And can make your visitors, not trust your website.
Now after watching this video,
you’ll be able to receive all wordpress emails in your inbox
like this.
I’m Bryan from website learners
and let’s fix this wordpress email issue
We’re going to do this in 2 parts.
The first part
is to ‘Create a Business email.’
Now in order to fix the wordpress email issue,
you need a business email
instead of a regular Gmail address.
Now, if you already have a business email,
you can skip to part 2 of this video.
But, if you don't have a business email,
keep watching.
So now we’re going to create a business email,
in 2 steps
The first step
is to create a new email account
Now, I’m going to create my business email using my Hosting provider
which is WebSpaceKit,
As it offers business email for free with my hosting plan
So to create it,
Let’s go to WebSpaceKit.com
Now if your hosting provider, provides business email, you need to login to your hosting service
Or if you want... you can change your hosting provider to WebSpaceKit, by watching this video.
Okay
Now to create our business email
let’s click ‘Login’
And enter these details
Then click here
So, we have successfully logged into our account
Now to create our business email
Just click here
And it will take you to this page
Just scroll down
And click ‘Email Accounts’
Now click ‘Create Email Account’
here,
you need to enter the business email id you want
And here, you can see our website name
This means,
the email ID we create...
will have our site name instead of the normal “gmail.com.”
I’m going to enter ‘contact’
So my business email will be
‘contact@gotocloths.com’
Next,
you need to enter a password for your business email
I’m going to enter a password
(Now make sure you remember this password,
since we will be using it in upcoming steps
Okay
And here,
you need to select how much data you want to allocate from your hosting,
for this email account
I’m going to select
‘Unlimited’
Once you have done this
Just click ‘Create’
And as you can see,
we have successfully created our new email account
Once you’ve got the (new) email,
We can go to step 2,
which is to create an email forward (for this business email),
Creating an email forward will forward all the emails coming to your business email to an inbox where you can read your mails.
Now I want to forward the business emails to my Gmail
So to create the email forward
Just click here
And it will take you to Webmail
Now webmail is the platform which is going to help us create an email forward.
And click “Forwarders’
Then click ‘Add Forwarder’
Now here,
enter any Gmail id where you want to forward your business emails.
I’m going to enter my Gmail I’d
And click ‘Add Forwarder’
And now we have successfully created the email forward.
So now, all the emails coming to this business email
will be forwarded to Gmail inbox,
To check it
Let’s try sending an email to our business email
from a random email
So to send the email
Let’s go to a random Gmail account
And click ‘Compose’
Here let’s enter our business email
Next,
let’s enter the subject
and message
And click ‘Send’
And now, our email has been sent
So now, if we go to our Gmail (inbox)
You can see that, we’ve received the email
So let’s open it
Now if you click here,
You can see that
it was sent to our business email
And we’ve successfully received it in our Gmail inbox
So now we’re able to receive emails to our business email
Now, If we try to reply
to this email,
You can see here,
it goes from my Gmail id,
Instead of our business email
So next
let’s see how you can send emails from your business email,
which is ‘contact@gotocloths.com’
Now to send emails from our business email
We need to connect the business email with our Gmail account
Once you connect your business email to Gmail,
you can send emails from your business email
using your Gmail account.
So to connect your business email to Gmail
Let’s go back to our Gmail
click ‘Settings’
Then click ’See all settings’
Now go to ‘Accounts and Import’
And click ‘Add another Email address’
Now here, give a ‘from name’ to your business email
Now this is the name
that will appear when someone receives an email
from your business email
I'm going to enter gotocloths
next enter your business email
which you want to connect
and click next step
Now here, you need to enter these details
from your Hosting provider
So to get these details
Let’s go to WebSpaceKit
Now just go back
Scroll down
And select ‘Configure Mail Client’
And it will take you to this page
Now these are the details
which we want to enter on Gmail account
to connect our business email
So first,
let’s copy this
and paste it here
Next,
copy the ‘Username’
and then paste it here
Now here, you need to enter the password
which you have entered while creating the business email
So, I’m going to enter the password of my business email
Finally,
let’s change the Port number to 465
And click ‘Add Account’
Now it will ask you to verify your email
So let’s go to our Gmail Inbox
And you can see,
we have received an email,
Let’s open it
Now copy this code
and then paste it here
And click ‘Verify’
And your business email will be connected with the Gmail account
So now if we go back to our settings page
You can see that
our business email is connected
So we have successfully connected our business email
with our Gmail account
Once you have connected the email
You can start sending emails from your Business Email
So to check it
Let’s click ‘Compose’
And if we click here,
You can see that
our business email is now added.
So let's try sending an email from this business email
Just select the email
And let’s send a test mail
to a random Gmail address
Now if we click ‘send’
And go to that inbox…
You can see that
we’ve received the mail,
Let’s open it
And if we click here
You can see that
the mail was sent from contact@gotocloths.com,
Which is our business email
And, now you can send emails using your business email.
So, we have successfully created our Business email.
Once you’ve created your business email,
Next,
let’s go to the second part of this video,
which is to connect your business email to your WordPress website,
Once you connect your business email to WordPress,
you’ll be able to receive all the WordPress emails in your inbox.
We are going to connect our business email to WordPress
in just 2 steps,
The first step
is to install a plugin in WordPress,
So to install the plugin
Let’s go to our WordPress dashboard
Now go to plugins
and click ‘Add New’
Here
search for the Plugin called
‘WP SMTP’
And you will get this plugin
Now to install the plugin
Let’s click ‘Install’
And click ‘Activate’
So now we have successfully installed the plugin
Till now
WordPress has been sending the emails from our website
so it might go into our spam folder
Now to receive the emails in our inbox,
we are going to use our Hosting provider to send the emails
So to use our Hosting provider to send the emails
Let’s go to the final step,
which is to connect the hosting with your website
So to connect the hosting with the our site
click ‘Settings’
And it will take you to this page
Now here,
you need to enter your business email,
So I’m going to enter my business email
And here,
enter the ‘From Name’ you want
I’m going to enter ‘Gotocloths’
Now just scroll down
Here,
select ‘Other SMTP’
Now here, we need to enter this detail
from our hosting provider
So to get it,
Let’s go back to WebSpaceKit
Now copy this
and then paste it here
here,
select ‘SSL’
And just scroll down
Now here,
we need to enter the username and password of our business email
So to get the username
Let's go here
Now copy the username
then paste it here
Next, enter the password of the business email
I'm going to enter my password.
And ‘Save Settings’
Now our Hosting provider will be connected with our website
So now we have successfully connected our business email
with our WordPress site.
Which means
our email issues should now be fixed.
And all wordpress emails will now go directly into your inbox,
instead of spam.
So to check that,
Let’s go to our website.
Now let’s say a visitor is trying to contact you.
And sends you a message.
Now if you go to your inbox,
You can see that
we have got the email,
Let’s open it
and you can see
