    Hi,
    I’m trying to receive wp emails from localhost but I get this error when trying to confirm authorization:

    400.
    Error: redirect_uri_mismatch

    The redirect URI in the request, http://localhost/lacgiu/wp-admin/options-general.php?page=wp-mail-smtp&tab=auth, does not match the ones authorized for the OAuth client. To update the authorized redirect URIs, visit: […]

    response_type=code
    access_type=offline
    client_id=32276782684-nccj3f5k8i7oikg4ekbloack16lg30q5.apps.googleusercontent.com
    redirect_uri=http://localhost/lacgiu/wp-admin/options-general.php?page=wp-mail-smtp&tab=auth
    state=
    scope=https://mail.google.com/
    approval_prompt=force
    include_granted_scopes=true

    I followed this guide to setup G Suite: https://wpforms.com/how-to-securely-send-wordpress-emails-using-gmail-smtp/
    Since I’m working on a local server, I used (http://)lvh.me as website URL, could that be the problem?

    Thanks in advance

    Hi albigiusti,

    You’re on the right track here, and your local site is definitely the issue. That’s not to say that you can’t set this up on a local site — you absolutely can (I have this set up on my own local site).

    However, you’ll need to give your local site a more traditional URL in order for Google to accept it (rather than http://localhost/lacgiu). The exact way to go about this will vary depending on what tool you use to set up your local site, but a quick Google search should hopefully help you find instructions.

    Once you have a URL set up for your local site, you’ll be able fill out everything in your Google app setup with that URL just like you would for a live site (and if you later launch to an actual live URL, you’d need to adjust the URL in all Google settings again).

    I hope this helps!

    Hi albigiusti,

    We haven’t heard back from you in about a week, so I’m going to go ahead and close this thread for now. But if you still have questions, please feel welcome to continue the conversation!

    Thanks 🙂
