• My website is http://www.sginvestguru.com
    I’ve been trying and trying with the same domain name, and even tried with gmail smtp settings. But i keep on getting this error….” string(22) “SMTP connect() failed.””
    Does anyone know what error I have?

    *The main reason for this setup is because all my forms are unable to send email out. This applies to new subscribers or editors that i create manually under the Users section too.
