login - Wordpress does not send email confirmation to newly registered users

This issue came to my notice when i saw new users trying to reset their password, when I asked them why they're doing this, they told me no email was sent to them after registering on site. My WordPress is recently updated and is hosted on a Centos dedicated machine.

• 2 It could be a WP issue, but it also could be a server issue as well as a user issue. I would try some troubleshooting first... for example, create a new user yourself, and see if you get the e-mail, if not, check your server to see if the e-mail was sent, then check spam box, and so on... – gdaniel Commented Aug 9, 2017 at 17:43
• 3 It could also be spf and dkim issues. If your ip is different than that of the emails, it will not send them to gmail or outlook. – rudtek Commented Aug 9, 2017 at 19:34

Seems like you have a wrong server configuration. You can try some SMTP plugins like WP Mail SMTP, configure and test your mailbox with this plugin.
