 * hi, I’m trying to set SMTP mailer with Gmail.
 * I create gmail api credentials successful.
 * I click the button [Authorization] in wp-smtp setting page, and login with gmail
   and verified my app.
 * I clicked the link [go to wpmailsmtp.com], and on the next page, clicked **Continue**.
 * but the problem is below step.
 * browser redirect to my wp site index.php not admin setting page.
 * I checked [network]tab in chrome browser, and find the url for redirect.
 * https://**mysitedomain**/wp-admin/options-general.php?page=wp-mail-smtp**&tab
   =auth**&state=772a944dab-primary&code=[code remove]
 * I think this is invalid url as WP redirect to index page.
 *  _**auth** tab_ is not appear in my wp-smtp setting page.
 * how can I authorize????

 * Hi, [@wsj7389](https://wordpress.org/support/users/wsj7389/)!
 * Thanks for reaching out, and I’m sorry for the trouble!
 * Please kindly know, that the URL for redirect is valid.
 * It looks like there is a third-party plugin conflict that breaks the mailer authorization
   flow.
 * Please, follow [this guide](https://wpforms.com/docs/how-to-test-for-theme-or-plugin-conflicts/)
   on how to test for theme or plugin conflicts (the guide is for WPForms plugin,
   but the steps will be the same for WP Mail SMTP).
 * Kind regards.
