 * Activated and tested but got this result:
 * SMTP connect() failed. [https://github.com/PHPMailer/PHPMailer/wiki/Troubleshooting](https://github.com/PHPMailer/PHPMailer/wiki/Troubleshooting)
 * I already had the “allow less secure apps” turned on in my Gmail , so it’s not
   that.
 * Ideas???

 * I got the same response and have tried configuring it every which way except 
   it still doesn’t work. I ran into this issue the first time I set it up and realized
   the Gmail setting was the thing keeping it from working. This time around, I 
   hadn’t checked in and needed to update several plugins, which is where it fell
   off the saddle, so to speak- but now that I’ve updated it’s still not working,
   even with the original settings that I had when it did work.
 * Did you figure anything out?

 * Just tried to uninstall and re-install the plugin to no avail. Still not working.
 * Are the devs reading this, I hope?!
