 * Dear [@ahmedamir](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ahmedamir/),
 * Thing is that I get confused among so many different plugins which have very 
   similar names. Whichever the case, the one plugin givin’ me problems recently
   released an updated version, so the iThems Security plugin is not yielding any
   more warnings. Thus, I believe there’s no issue with any plugin (such as yours)
   anymore.
 * Once again, aplogies for the inconvenience.
 * Cheers!

 * Hi, [@ahmedamir](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ahmedamir/)
 * You’re gonna have to forgive me big time. I don’t know what went thru our mind,
   but I got the plugin wrong 😓 My deepest and most sincere apologies for having
   raised worries. I will go to penance, now 😓
 * Cheers,

 * Dear [@dakeg](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dakeg/)
 * I regret to inform you that **Easy WP SMTP** worked perfectly out of the box.
   Just installed, activated, configured it as usual, tested… Wham! Great success!
 * So, all in all, I must believe that there was something wrong about WP Mail SMTP
   after all. It makes me sad, as it was my plugin of choice to what SMTTP configuration
   was related 😕
 * Cheers, and thanks a lot for all the help that’s been lent.

 * Hi @dakeg
 * What I do have is a `noindex` subdomain with a clone of my site for testing purposes,
   although I do not know if that qualifies as a staging website. Whichever the 
   case, both of them are hosted with the same provider, indeed (SiteGround). And
   whichever the case, tests with WP Mail SMTP did fail on the live website as well
   as on its _subdomained_ clone.
 * Which different SMTP plugins would you recommend to see if the same thing keeps
   on happening?
 * I would indeed like a solution as I’ve entrusted every single WordPress site 
   that I’ve designed with WP Mail SMTP so far… and this is the first one I’ve got
   this sort of trouble with :-/
 * Thanks for your atention!
 * Cheers,

 * Hi, [@dakeg](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dakeg/)
 * _Debuggin’_ session is all finished and… there’s no one (and nothing) to blame
   but the **WP Mail SMTP plugin** itself. And it is not only that it kept on failing
   once the only active plugins were Elementor and Elementor Pro… It is also that
   the site was unable to properly end up WooCommerce’s checkout transaction… A 
   capability that has been recovered once I’ve deactivated the **WP Mail SMTP plugin**.
 * This is, with **an active WP Mail SMTP plugin**, the transaction was filed successfully,
   but the script never ended up loading, so neither the user could ever see the
   success message when the payment – and, thus, the transaction – had gone thru
   nor the emails (both the one that gets to the admin’s email address and the one
   that gets to the buyer) were ever triggered.
 * As the most appropriate solution that I’ve been able to come up with, I’ve decided
   to learn to create the proper function for SMTP mail at functions.php. According
   to ChatGPT as well as to some other resources I’ve consulted with, it should 
   not be difficult at all 🙂 Let’s hope for the best 🙂
 * I don’t know if I can help you somehow in order to prevent this from happening
   on any other WordPress.org sites 🙂 Let me know, in such a case 🙂
 * Cheers!

 * Hi, @dakeg!
 * No progress yet. I am taking a break from the office till Monday. I will check
   the link you’ve sent me, though. Thanks a lot. I will keep you posted as soon
   as I make any progress whatsoever. Thanks again.

 * Hi, @dakeg!
 * It does, indeed, sound like a caching issue… but I am almost sure it is not what
   it seems. Precisely, because I tried both clearing my site’s cache _and_ temporarily
   disabling the SG Optimizer plugin – I actually uninstalled it fully, and it all
   remained the same. I do have the latest version of the plugin as I did a fresh
   installation of it. Other than that, the only thing that is left for me to do
   is to start the annoying debugging process that implies leaving the essential
   plugins and… well, I am sure you know the drill.
 * So I will check in again after I do such debugging process.
 * Cheers!

 * Hi everyone!
 * It is solved! The problem was an advanced adjustment in the SEO Yoast configuration—
   the last one of them all, in the “Advanced” section.
 * Roughly translated into English from a Spanish translation of the plugin, it 
   reads like so:
 * **Tracking OptimizationRemove Unregistered URL Parameters
   _Remove unknown URL
   parameters with a 301 redirect. For example,[https://www.example.com/?unknown\_parameter=yes](https://www.example.com/?unknown_parameter=yes)
   will be redirected to[https://www.example.com](https://www.example.com)
 * Once I’ve turned it off, it all goes awesomely! Great!
 * Thanks a lot to Nelio A/B Testing’s staff for being so kind and swift in their
   answers to my inquiries, especially to David and Ruth.
 * Cheers!

 * Hi there, David.
 * 1.- Before trying what you suggest me to try, I’ve tried testing the tested page
   not only using my browser’s incognito mode, but also in different computers and
   browsers, both in incognito mode and in not-incognito mode.
 * 2.- Now, about your suggestions, I’ve done everything exactly as you describe
   it. This is, I’ve paused the test, edited the plugin settings to deactivate the
   checkbox “Use control ID in test variants”, edited and saved variant A, edited
   and saved variant B, and restarted the test.
 * Once all of that has been achieved, I go to the incognito mode of another browser(
   Safari, in this case) and try opening:
 * [https://mydomain.com/the-page-I-am-running-the-a-b-test-onto/?nab=0](https://mydomain.com/the-page-I-am-running-the-a-b-test-onto/?nab=0)
 * [https://mydomain.com/the-page-I-am-running-the-a-b-test-onto/?nab=0](https://mydomain.com/the-page-I-am-running-the-a-b-test-onto/?nab=0)
 * [https://mydomain.com/the-page-I-am-running-the-a-b-test-onto/?nab=0&nabforce](https://mydomain.com/the-page-I-am-running-the-a-b-test-onto/?nab=0&nabforce)
 * [https://mydomain.com/the-page-I-am-running-the-a-b-test-onto/?nab=1&nabforce](https://mydomain.com/the-page-I-am-running-the-a-b-test-onto/?nab=1&nabforce)
 * And the only different result – to any other which I’d had so far – is that https://
   mydomain.com/the-page-I-am-running-the-a-b-test-onto/?nab=1&nabforce keeps reloading
   infinitely and never shows anything. It feels like we’ve moved one tiny step 
   ahead. It also feels that there’s still something that wants to get loaded… unsuccessfully.
 * Wrote you at the suggested email address, too, by the way 🙂
 * PS: Obviously, the provided addresses are examples, as I don’t want my post to
   be removed because of any possible misunderstanding about some self-publicity
   which is definitively not intended here.

 * Hi 🙂
 * You got me there, to be honest —for I would not know what to answer at all.
 * I guess that I read somewhere that, together, both of them plugins (Autoptimize
   and Async Javascript) yielded a better result to what web performance —load speed
   and so on— is concerned.
 * Thanks, though!
 * Cheers 🙂
