Problem

Error Code 5: Email Failed to Send

Why does this happen?

This happens when there was a problem with your SMTP server, PDF generation or Captcha settings.

Solution

Step 1 | Google Captcha

a. Access the Global Settings menu of Stylish Cost Calculator.

b. Do you have Google's Captcha settings turn on? If yes, try turning it off.

✅ Did it fix the problem? If yes, then you have a problem with your Google-captcha settings. Verify you have the correct API keys.

⭕ Still, have a problem? Then, Google Captcha is not the problem, please proceed to step 2.

Step 2 | PDF Generator

Let's test if the problem is the PDF Generator by trying to download a PDF in the backend.

a. Access to your calculator in the dashboard (backend).
b. Click the Detailed List button.

c. Click the Save icon.

⭕ Did it fail? Try removing your banner and logo in the global settings menu. If that fixed it, re-add it back. It could be a missing file, corrupted file or wrong image format. 

✅  Did it work? If yes, then the problem is not your PDF Generator. Proceed to step 3.

Step 3 | GD Libary

In order for Stylish Cost Calculator to work, it needs the GD PHP Library.
a. Click Diagnostic in the Stylish Cost Calculator menu.
b. Check if you have a green button under the GD library.

⭕ Is it red? Then, talk to your hosting company about how to install the GD Library.

✅ Is it green? Then, the problem is not the GD library, please proceed to step 4.

Step 4 | SMTP Settings

In most cases for Stylish Cost Calculator to work, you need to have a proper SMTP plugin that routes the emails via your own SMTP server.
a. Access the WP SMTP plugin
b. Click Settings
c. Click Email Test (https://prnt.sc/15pvl85)
d. Send yourself an email test.

⭕ Did it fail? Then you have to fix your SMTP setting. It may be the wrong port or credentials.
✅ Did it work? Then, the problem is something other than the four things above. Please submit a trouble ticket and advise us of all the troubleshooting steps that you have taken.
