How to fix SMTP after migrating from Managed to Unmanaged

@BrutalBirdie OK - in the unmanaged Wordpress app, did you also install the WP-mail SMTP plugin? Not to be confused with the sendmail addon from cloudron.
Like I wrote, I do not use the unmanaged wordpress app, I use the lamp-app.

Okay, so in my experience using WP-All-In-One Migration plugin, you want to make sure the "Do not replace email domain" is selected, assuming you're putting it eventually back on the original domain. Otherwise you will need to leave it unchecked so that it carries over and takes on the new SMTP settings as that not only impacts the email domain shown on the public site but the settings in WP Mail SMTP too.

I think that's the missing bit -
WP-Mail SMTPneeds to be installed and has to be installed. After that, if you restart the app, the package will automatically re-configure that plugin to use the sendmail addon credentials.@girish said in How to fix SMTP after migrating from Managed to Unmanaged:

It is installed, it's just the credentials are wrong (I think), because they've been copied over from the Managed one when I imported the All in one Migration export files with the db and files etc.

Just to say, no, the WP Mail SMTP plugin is installed by default in both the Managed and Unmanaged Wordpress apps.

Aha.
I didn't actually see any options, will check next time I do it!
Thanks. And yes, it's at the same domain.
But still not really sure what to do now, given I didn't select "Do not replace email domain".
Where and when do you see that option? When creating the export? Or when importing the export?
Thanks!

@jdaviescoates Just restart the app. Repair -> Restart. It will fix up the credentials of the SMTP plugin.
@girish worked, thanks! Should've thought to just try that in the first instance!

@jdaviescoates looks like it’s already fixed but for future reference those options are on export (too late by time you’re doing import unfortunately). There’s an advanced settings collapsible item (collapsed by default so not easy to see) above the export button. It’ll give you a bunch of options such as the email ones plus others like not exporting spam comments, revision history, plugins, themes, etc.
