    Have you specified SMTP details? Are you using a transactional mail service like Mandrill or SendGrid?

    An easier way to implement SMTP and get it working is to use a WP plugin like this

    Hope this helps!

Since you’ve installed the WP Mail SMTP plugin you can use Gmail’s SMTP settings (which are free) to receive contact form emails.

This screenshot has them - https://s.w.org/plugins/wp-mail-smtp/screenshot-1.png?r=1201981

Hello all,

What I could suggest here is using an SMTP plugin for your WordPress site.

That way you will be able to specify an SMTP server with authentication which your emails would be going through. You could for example use SendGrid’s SMTP service. This would drastically increase the delivery rate of your emails as well compared to using plain PHP mail.

I’ve been using this plugin for a while now and it works very well: Easy WP SMTP.
