Using sendgrid smtp and Clicking Tracking
Here’s how to address and troubleshoot the issue:
—
### 1. **Verify SSL Setup on Your Domain**
– Ensure the domain `url9839.postmymeds.co.uk` has a valid SSL certificate installed.
– You can test the domain's SSL setup using tools like [SSL Labs](https://www.ssllabs.com/ssltest/).
—
### 2. **Check Click Tracking in SendGrid**
– When SendGrid Click Tracking is enabled, it rewrites links to go through a tracking domain. If this tracking domain isn't properly secured with SSL, users will encounter a connection error.
– **Steps to Disable Click Tracking:**
1. Log in to SendGrid.
2. Navigate to **Settings > Tracking > Click Tracking**.
3. Disable the feature temporarily to see if it resolves the issue.
—
### 3. **Set Up a Branded Tracking Domain**
– To use Click Tracking securely, configure a custom tracking domain:
1. Log in to SendGrid.
2. Go to **Settings > Sender Authentication > Domains**.
3. Authenticate a domain for tracking links, ensuring it's secured with HTTPS.
– After setting up, SendGrid will rewrite links using your custom domain, avoiding the insecure `url9839.postmymeds.co.uk`.
—
### 4. **Regenerate the Password Reset Link**
– After disabling or fixing Click Tracking, try resetting the password again. Ensure the email link points to your WordPress site's secure domain.
—
### 5. **Test Without Click Tracking**
– Disable Click Tracking and send a test password reset email. If the link works correctly, you’ve identified the issue.
—
### 6. **Update Site URL in WordPress**
– Ensure your WordPress `site_url` and `home` settings use `https://`:
– Log in to WordPress.
– Go to **Settings > General**.
– Confirm both `WordPress Address (URL)` and `Site Address (URL)` start with `https://`.
