# Unable to send test email

### Send test email failed

### What causes this issue

* Your site might not have enabled email sending via SMTP
* Errors with the email templates such as blank email subject, wrong formats, etc.

### How to fix it

1. **Test your email deliverability**

Firsly, please make sure that your WordPress site can send outgoing emails.

Please go to your SMTP plugin's settings and send a test email to see if the email can reach your email address.

If you're using the [YaySMTP](https://wordpress.org/plugins/yaysmtp/) plugin to send WordPress emails, please go to the **YaySMTP** menu from your admin dashboard to tackle the problem. By trying Send Test Email, you'll know if your SMTP server configuration works or not.

1.1. If sending test email fails, you should configure your SMTP settings. Check out how to [set up SMTP for WordPress](https://docs.yaycommerce.com/yaysmtp/how-to-set-up-smtps).

1.2. If your test email works, please move on to troubleshooting the email template itself.

   2\. **Troubleshooting the email template**

In some cases, the email template cannot load successfully due to multi-language incompatibility. Please try resetting the template: Navigate to the upper toolbar and click **Reset template**.
