Hi,
I use gravity forms and was advised to install a SMTP plugin to allow auto notifications to those who submit a form. I found http://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-mail-smtp/ and installed onto my 3.7.1 version of WP. It installed fine, and I configured the settings but on sending the test email it crashed the site into a 500 error.
My site came back online by itself 2 minutes later, but now runs REALLY slow, almost backwards. I'm now panicking because my business relies on the site and if its not working properly we're in trouble!!!! Stupidly i hadnt done a backup before installing and cant afford to go back a month to the last backup. The plugin support seems to have tailed off and getting no response - Can anyone help find the issue?!
Happy to pay for a fix
Pete
