How to send email with Gmail SMTP

Outgoing email with PHP mail() is heavily restricted on InfinityFree. Fortunately, you can still whatever email you want using an external email service. There are many external email providers to choose from. InfinityFree doesn’t restrict sending email with external providers. Almost all of them have paid plans, but some have free tiers too. Most of them support sending email over SMTP, some of them have custom APIs, libraries and plugins which you can use too. A simple way to get started qui…

Contact Form Plugin Not Wroking

Because IF does not support PHP Mail. You have to setup SMTP mailing. If the plugin you have does not have this feature, install the plugin “WP Mail SMTP” as well (Spelling of plugin may be off).

Using nulled scripts will get you permanent suspension

If you can afford $700 software, you can afford premium hosting. Free Hosting is not built for applications like that, and you will reach a suspension super fast.

Of course it doesn’t work, the instructions are wrong. PhpMailer must be installed with Composer. You can’t just download it, drop it on your site and expect it to work.

And there are some awful things in that tutorial. Downloading PhpMailer from the master branch instead of a tagged release? Not recommending 2FA and relying on the magic Less Secure Apps/Captcha thing? Completely disabling all SSL security by DEFAULT when using GMAIL? It may have worked at some point. But it’s completely insecure and definitely not how you should be using PHPMailer.

That’s why we didn’t write a guide and instead provide our own contact form with PHPMailer integrated. It has a simple interface, a straight forward setup procedure, it follows best practices and just works.

And that’s ignoring the fact that you can’t just slam PHPMailer into an existing script. Most scripts provide a way to use SMTP out of the box, or have plugins or modules that integrate that functionality.
