Use an SMTP plugin like WP Mail SMTP to send emails through a trusted mail service instead of your server’s default. Also set up SPF, DKIM, and DMARC records for your domain, that’s key for keeping messages out of Gmail’s spam folder.

I was gonna say this cause Gmail heavily relies on those to decide if mail is legit.

“That’s a classic WP issue Gmail hates the default PHP mailer. Switch to SMTP (like Postmark, Brevo, or even Gmail API) and set up proper SPF + DKIM records. Once that’s done, inboxing gets way smoother.”

or u dont know what is mailchimp?
if mailchimp is there why we need smtp?

Mailchimp only handles campaigns and newsletters. As for WordPress user registration emails, they are not sent through Mailchimp. They are sent by your hosting server and Gmail often marks them as spam. That's why you still need SMTP + proper SPF/DKIM setup. Once you fix that, your registration emails will reach the inbox.

Happens a lot with WordPress because by default it uses PHP mail which Gmail hates. Best fix is to set up proper SMTP for sending (Post SMTP or WP Mail SMTP plugin works great).

Connect it to something like SendGrid or Amazon SES or even your hosting mail server.

Try to use proper SMTP plugin (like WP Mail SMTP) with domain email + SPF, DKIM, DMARC records set up. This might improves Gmail deliverability.

For better email delivery, use an SMTP plugin that supports SPF, DKIM, and DMARC.

Use a proper SMTP plugin in WordPress so Gmail sees your emails as trusted and not spam.

Evaluate the quality of your emails from your WP sender

Use a tool like this: https://www.mail-tester.com/

Just send a test WP or mailchimp email to the test address email you see in there, and once its received you will see what is causing so much trouble.

that usually happens because wordpress by default uses php mail which gmail doesn’t trust much. the best fix is to use an smtp plugin and connect it with a trusted email provider like gmail workspace, sendgrid or amazon ses. that way your emails are authenticated and much less likely to land in spam
