Ab bulk mailer wont connect to cpanel

Frustrating!

There could be several reasons why your AB Bulk Mailer is unable to connect to your cPanel. Here are some troubleshooting steps to help you resolve the issue:

  1. Check your cPanel credentials: Ensure that you're using the correct cPanel username and password. Double-check that you're using the correct credentials and that they're not expired.
  2. Verify cPanel connection settings: In your AB Bulk Mailer settings, check the cPanel connection settings. Make sure the hostname, port, and protocol are correct. Typically, the default settings are:
    • Hostname: yourdomain.com (replace with your actual domain name)
    • Port: 2083 (or 2082 for SSL)
    • Protocol: http (or https for SSL)
  3. Check cPanel firewall settings: Ensure that the cPanel firewall is not blocking the connection. You can check the firewall settings in your cPanel by going to Security > Firewall and making sure that the SMTP port (usually 25) is allowed.
  4. Verify cPanel PHP settings: AB Bulk Mailer uses PHP to connect to cPanel. Check your cPanel PHP settings to ensure that the allow_url_fopen and allow_url_include settings are enabled. You can do this by going to Software > MultiPHP Manager and checking the settings for your PHP version.
  5. Check cPanel version: Ensure that your cPanel version is compatible with AB Bulk Mailer. You can check your cPanel version by going to Stats > System Information and looking for the cPanel Version field.
  6. Try resetting cPanel connection settings: In your AB Bulk Mailer settings, try resetting the cPanel connection settings to their default values. This may help resolve any issues with the connection.
  7. Check for conflicts with other plugins: If you're using other plugins or software that interact with cPanel, try disabling them temporarily to see if they're causing the issue.
  8. Contact your hosting provider: If none of the above steps resolve the issue, it's possible that there's a problem with your hosting provider's cPanel setup. Reach out to their support team for assistance.

If you're still having trouble connecting to cPanel, please provide more details about your setup, including your cPanel version, PHP version, and any error messages you're seeing. I'll do my best to help you troubleshoot the issue!
