If your WordPress emails stopped working after the 6.9 update and you’re struggling to understand why, you’re in the right place to fix this issue step by step. Many site owners noticed contact form emails, WooCommerce notifications, password resets, and admin alerts failing or going to spam.

This step‑by‑step guide shows exactly how to fix WordPress email issues using SMTP, the most reliable solution recommended for WordPress 6.9 and beyond.

Why SMTP Is Mandatory After WordPress 6.9

WordPress 6.9 introduced stricter handling of the email envelope sender. As a result:

• PHP mail() is no longer reliable
• Emails without authentication fail silently
• Gmail, Outlook, and Yahoo block unauthenticated senders

SMTP fixes all of this by authenticating emails before sending.

Step 1: Choose a Reliable SMTP Plugin

For WordPress 6.9, these plugins work best:

• WP Mail SMTP (Beginner‑friendly)
• FluentSMTP (Free & powerful)
• Post SMTP Mailer (Advanced logging)

Recommended for most sites: WP Mail SMTP

Step 2: Install WP Mail SMTP Plugin

1. Go to WordPress Dashboard → Plugins → Add New
2. Search for WP Mail SMTP
3. Click Install → Activate

Once activated, you’ll see the WP Mail SMTP Setup Wizard.

Step 3: Choose Your SMTP Mailer

WP Mail SMTP supports multiple mailers. Popular options:

For beginners, choose Gmail or Brevo.

Step 4: Configure SMTP Settings (Example: Other SMTP)

If you select Other SMTP, enter:

• SMTP Host: yourmailprovider.com
• Encryption: TLS
• SMTP Port: 587
• Authentication: ON
• Username: your email address
• Password: email app password

Enable Force From Email Enable Force From Name

Step 5: Fix the “From Email Address” Issue (Very Important)

After WordPress 6.9, emails sent from:

[email protected]

are often rejected.

Best Practice:

• Use a real domain email like:
  • [email protected]
  • [email protected]

Make sure this email exists in your hosting or SMTP provider.

Step 6: Send a Test Email

1. Go to WP Mail SMTP → Tools → Email Test
2. Enter your email address
3. Click Send Email

If successful, WordPress email issues are fixed If failed, continue to DNS setup below

Step 7: Add SPF, DKIM & DMARC Records (Critical for Deliverability)

Without DNS authentication, emails may still land in spam.

Required DNS Records:

SPF (Example)

v=spf1 include:_spf.google.com ~all

DKIM

Provided by your SMTP provider (copy exactly)

DMARC (Basic Setup)

v=DMARC1; p=none; rua=mailto:[email protected]

Add these in Domain DNS Manager (GoDaddy, Namecheap, Cloudflare, etc.)

Step 8: Fix Contact Form & WooCommerce Emails

Contact Forms (CF7 / Elementor / WPForms)

• Set From Email to same SMTP email
• Avoid user‑entered emails as sender

WooCommerce

Go to: WooCommerce → Settings → Emails

• Enable email notifications
• Ensure “From email” matches SMTP email

Step 9: Enable Email Logging (Optional but Recommended)

WP Mail SMTP Pro includes email logs.

Free alternatives: – WP Mail Logging – FluentSMTP logs

This helps track: – Failed emails – SMTP errors – Delivery status

Common Errors & Fixes After WordPress 6.9

SMTP Authentication Failed

• Check username/password
• Use app password (Gmail)

Emails Go to Spam

• Add SPF, DKIM, DMARC
• Avoid free Gmail as sender

Emails Not Sending at All

• Disable other SMTP plugins
• Check hosting mail restrictions

Final Checklist (WordPress 6.9 Email Fix)

• SMTP plugin installed
• Authenticated domain email
• Correct From Email
• SPF, DKIM, DMARC added
• Test email successful

Introduction: The Scaling Dilemma Every Agency Faces

If you run a web or SEO agency, you’ve probably been here before —
too many client projects, not enough developers, and an inbox full of “when will my site go live?” messages.
We get it. Agencies grow fast, and web development capacity often struggles to keep up. But hiring full-time developers isn’t always the answer — it’s expensive, unpredictable, and hard to scale without sacrificing profit margins.
That’s exactly where a white-label WordPress partner comes in — especially one who lives and breathes Elementor.

What’s Changing in 2026

2026 is shaping up to be the year of agency specialization.
Most agencies are niching down, focusing on SEO, paid media, or design — not on the tech-heavy parts of WordPress builds.
At the same time, client expectations are higher than ever:

• “Can you deliver it by next week?”
• “Can you make it faster on mobile?”
• “Can you integrate this with our CRM and optimize for SEO?”

Agencies that can say yes confidently to those requests — without stretching their team — are the ones that’ll win.

Why White Label Partnerships Make Sense (Now More Than Ever)

Here’s the truth: agencies that scale sustainably all have one thing in common — they know what to keep in-house and what to delegate.
When you partner with a white-label WordPress team like ours, you instantly:

1. Expand your team capacity without hiring.
2. We become your development wing — working behind the scenes, branded as you.
3. Deliver faster using Elementor workflows optimized for agencies.
4. We use pre-built kits, reusable widgets, and automation to cut build times.
5. Keep your margins healthy.
6. No surprise payroll costs. No office overhead. Just predictable, per-project pricing.
7. Protect your client relationships.
8. We work under strict NDAs — your clients will only ever see your brand.

Real-World Example

One of our agency partners in New York came to us after burning through three in-house developers in a year.
They were great at SEO and client management — but every WordPress project slowed them down.
We set up a white-label collaboration:

• Shared Slack channel
• Trello for project management
• Standardized Elementor templates

In the first quarter, they delivered 12 websites instead of 5. Their profit margins grew by 38%, and client satisfaction scores hit a record high.
That’s not a one-off. We see this story play out every month with agencies across the U.S.

The Hidden Advantage: Strategic Focus

Outsourcing your builds doesn’t just save time — it frees up focus.
When your team isn’t bogged down in revisions and debugging, they can double down on client strategy, retention, and upselling — the real growth drivers.
A white-label partner becomes your invisible engine — running smoothly in the background while you lead the brand forward.

Why Agencies Choose TechnoCrackers

We’ve built over 300+ WordPress and Elementor websites as a silent partner for agencies.
Our secret sauce? Reliability + speed + communication.

• Dedicated Slack channels for every agency
• Elementor Pro expertise for rapid, high-quality builds
• SEO-friendly site structures from day one
• White-label reporting and project documentation

When we say we’re your team — we mean it.

When working on a WordPress website—whether you’re a developer, content creator, or agency—it’s common to share draft pages or posts with clients before publishing.

However, by default, WordPress requires users to be logged in to view draft content. This can be inconvenient when you simply want to share a preview link with a client or team member who doesn’t have WordPress access.

Most people install plugins to do this, but you can generate secure, shareable preview links without any plugin using a small custom code snippet.

In this guide, you’ll learn how to:

• Allow non-logged-in users to view draft previews
• Generate a shareable URL for any post type
• Automatically display a “Sharable Link” meta box in the WordPress editor
• Add one-click buttons to copy or open the preview link
• Support posts, pages, and unlimited custom post types (CPTs)

Why Do You Need Shareable Draft Links?

Here are common scenarios where this is extremely useful:

• Sending preview links to clients
• Allowing team members to review draft content
• Sharing landing pages or funnels under development
• Getting approval on blog posts, pages, or custom post types
• Avoiding unnecessary WordPress accounts or login steps

How the Solution Works

We will:

• Add a URL parameter key=guest
• Modify the main query to allow draft preview when this key is present
• Add a meta box that generates the shareable link
• Automatically show the live URL for published posts
• Allow preview URL for draft/unpublished posts
• Add “Copy Link” and “Open Link” buttons

Full Code: Shareable Preview Link Generator

Place this code in your child theme’s functions.php File.

Code Snippet:

add_action('pre_get_posts', 'allow_draft_preview');
function allow_draft_preview($query) {
    if (isset($_GET['key']) && $_GET['key'] == 'guest') {
        if ($query->is_main_query()) {
            $query->set('post_status', array('publish', 'draft'));
        }
    }
}
add_action('add_meta_boxes', function () {
// Define your target post types
$custom_post_types = ['post', 'page', 'people', 'locations', 'practiceareas', 'alerts', 'blog', 'events', 'news', 'publications', 'video', 'open-positions'];
foreach ($custom_post_types as $post_type) {
        if (post_type_exists($post_type)) {
            add_meta_box(
                'sharable_link_box',
                'Sharable Link',
                'render_sharable_link_box',
                $post_type,
                'side',
                'high'
            );
       }
    }
}, 20); // Priority 20 ensures CPTs are registered

function render_sharable_link_box($post) {
    $is_published = $post->post_status === 'publish';
    if ( $is_published ) {
        $url = esc_url( get_permalink( $post->ID ) );
        $label = 'Live URL';
    } else {
        $preview_url = get_preview_post_link( $post->ID );
        $url = esc_url( add_query_arg( 'key', 'guest', $preview_url ) );
        $label = 'Preview URL';
    }
    echo '<label style="font-weight: bold; display: block; margin-bottom: 5px;">' . esc_html( $label ) . '</label>';
    echo '<input type="text" readonly value="' . $url . '" style="width:100%; font-size:12px;" id="sharableLinkURL">';
    echo '<div style="margin-top:8px; display:flex; gap:8px; flex-wrap:wrap;">';
    echo '<button type="button" class="button" onclick="copySharableURL()">Copy Link</button>';
    echo '<button type="button" class="button button-secondary" onclick="openSharableURL()">Open in New Tab</button>';
    echo '</div>';

// JS for buttons
echo <<<HTML
<script>
function copySharableURL() {
    const input = document.getElementById('sharableLinkURL');
    input.select();
    input.setSelectionRange(0, 99999); // For mobile
    document.execCommand('copy');
    alert('URL copied to clipboard!');
}
function openSharableURL() {
    const input = document.getElementById('sharableLinkURL');
    const url = input.value;
    window.open(url, '_blank');
}
</script>
HTML;
}

How to Use the Shareable Link

Once the code is active:

1. Edit any post, page, or CPT

You’ll see a new meta box on the right side labeled “Sharable Link”.

2. For published posts

It shows the Live URL.

3. For draft or pending posts

It shows a secure preview URL like:

https://yoursite.com/?p=123&preview=true&key=guest

4. Share it with your client

They do not need to log in.

5. Use the built-in buttons

• Copy Link → copies URL to clipboard
• Open in New Tab → loads preview instantly

Conclusion

With just a few lines of code, you can easily generate shareable preview links for any WordPress post type—without plugins.

Gravity Forms is one of the most powerful form builders available for WordPress — but it has one limitation:

It does not offer a built-in Rich Text Editor (WYSIWYG) field.

For websites that rely on user-generated content—such as blogs, directories, reviews, job listings, or frontend post submissions—a basic textarea simply isn’t enough.

A proper Rich Text Editor allows users to format text with:

• Headings (H1–H6)
• Links & Media
• Bold, Italic, Underline
• Bullet and Numbered Lists
• Images
• Blockquotes
• Inline styles like alignment, colors, and spacing

So in this tutorial, you’ll learn how to add a fully functional Rich Text Editor field inside Gravity Forms using custom code — without installing an extra plugin.

What This Solution Supports

• Works on frontend
• Uses TinyMCE (WordPress default editor)
• Supports media uploads
• Outputs clean formatted HTML
• Works with Gravity Forms Post Creation Add-On
• Prevents raw HTML from showing in visual mode

Why You Need a Custom Rich Text Editor in Gravity Forms

A normal textarea field cannot store or render formatted content like:

• Titles and headings
• Styled paragraphs
• Embedded media or images
• Links and structured lists

If you’re building forms like:

• Blog submission form
• Directory or listing submission
• User reviews
• Job listing submission
• Knowledgebase article submission
• Community-generated content

…then users need a proper editor — not a plain text field.

Step-by-Step Guide

Step 1 — Add This Code to Your functions.php

Copy and paste the following entire code block into your theme’s functions.php or a custom plugin:

( Code already formatted, so no changes needed — paste exactly as provided.)

// Enable a fully functional Rich Text Editor field in Gravity Forms
// Works on frontend + shows formatted output (not HTML tags)

//Enqueue editor scripts (TinyMCE + Media)
add_action('gform_enqueue_scripts', function() {
    wp_enqueue_editor();
    wp_enqueue_media();
});

// 1. Add "Rich Text Editor" button to Form Builder

add_filter('gform_add_field_buttons', function($field_groups){
    $field_groups[] = array(
        'name'   => 'custom_fields',
        'label'  => __('Custom Fields', 'gravityforms'),
        'fields' => array(
            array(
                'class' => 'button',
                'value' => __('Rich Text Editor', 'gravityforms'),
                'data-type' => 'editor',
            ),
        ),
    );
    return $field_groups;
});

// 2. Register field type name

add_filter('gform_field_type_title', function($type){
    return $type === 'editor' ? __('Rich Text Editor', 'gravityforms') : $type;
});

// 3. Add standard settings (optional)
add_action('gform_field_standard_settings', function($position, $form_id){
    if($position == 25){ ?>
        <li class="field_setting">
            <label for="field_placeholder">
                <?php esc_html_e("Placeholder", "gravityforms"); ?>
                <?php gform_tooltip("form_field_placeholder"); ?>
            </label>
            <input type="text" id="field_placeholder" class="fieldwidth-3" size="35"
                onkeyup="SetFieldProperty('placeholder', this.value);" />
        </li>
    <?php }
}, 10, 2);

// 4. Editor JS for Gravity Form Builder
add_action('gform_editor_js', function(){ ?>
<script type='text/javascript'>
    fieldSettings.editor = '.label_setting, .description_setting, .css_class_setting, .placeholder_setting, .visibility_setting, .required_setting';
</script>
<?php });

// 5. Render the TinyMCE editor on frontend

add_filter('gform_field_input', function($input, $field, $value, $lead_id, $form_id){
    if($field->type !== 'editor') return $input;

    ob_start();
    wp_editor(
        $value,
        'input_' . $form_id . '_' . $field->id,
        array(
            'textarea_name' => 'input_' . $field->id,
            'media_buttons' => true,
            'quicktags'     => true,
            'tinymce'       => array(
                'height' => 300,
                'toolbar1' => 'formatselect bold italic underline | bullist numlist blockquote | alignleft aligncenter alignright link unlink | removeformat',
            ),
        )
    );
    $editor_html = ob_get_clean();

    return sprintf(
        '<div class="ginput_container ginput_container_editor">%s</div>',
        $editor_html
    );
}, 10, 5);

// Safe rendering decode and render formatted HTML (not tags)

if ( ! function_exists( 'gf_rich_allowed_tags' ) ) {
    function gf_rich_allowed_tags() {
        return array(
            'p'      => array(),

            'field' => '',
        ), $atts, 'gf_editor' );

        $entry_id = intval( $atts['entry'] );
        $field_id = intval( $atts['field'] );

        if ( $entry_id <= 0 || $field_id <= 0 ) return '';

        $entry = GFAPI::get_entry( $entry_id );
        if ( is_wp_error( $entry ) ) return '';

        $raw = rgar( $entry, $field_id );
        return gf_render_editor_html_safe( $raw );
    } );
}

Once added, Gravity Forms will display a new field called:  Rich Text Editor under the “Custom Fields” tab.

Step 2 — Create a New Gravity Form

1. Go to Forms → New Form
2. Give it a name (Example: Blog Submission Form)
3. Add standard fields like:
   • Name
   • Email
   • Post Title
4. Add your new field: Rich Text Editor
5. Save the form

Tip: Note the Field ID for later (Example: Field ID: 10).

Step 3 — Configure Gravity Forms Post Creation Add-On

1. Go to Form → Settings → Post Creation
2. Create a new feed
3. Settings example:

(Optional) Map:

• Categories
• Tags
• Featured Image
• Custom fields

Important: Ensure the content field uses the field ID of the Rich Text Editor.

Step 4 — Add the Form to a Page

Use this shortcode anywhere:
[ gravityform id="123" title="true" description="false" ajax="true" ]

Replace 123 with your form ID.

Publish your page (example: Submit a Blog).

Step 5 — Test the Submission

1. Open the form on the frontend
2. Format content using the editor (bold, headings, images, lists, etc.)
3. Submit the form
4. Check:

Posts → All Posts

You should see a new post created — with formatting preserved.

1. In WP Admin go to Posts → All Posts and find the new post (status based on your feed setting).
2. Click Edit on the post and check the Visual tab in the editor — the content should render as formatted HTML (not raw HTML tags).
3. View the post on the frontend and confirm headings, lists, images and styling display correctly.

Final Result

You now have a fully working frontend content editor inside Gravity Forms — without additional plugins.

• Works with WordPress media uploader
• Supports formatting, links, images, headings
• Perfect for guest posting, user-generated content, and custom submission workflows
