SMTP Email

Steps to configure SMTP Email in WordPress, SMTP Email lets you send email using your SMTP account in WordPress.

Default WordPress Email vs. SMTP

  • WordPress Default: Relies on the PHP mail() function, which uses your web server to send emails. This often has issues with reliability and deliverability.
  • SMTP: Connects to an external email service provider (like Gmail, Mailgun, SendGrid, etc.) specifically designed for optimized email handling.

Let’s activate the SMTP Email module:

Step 1 – Setup:
  • Log in to your WordPress website.
  • Make sure you have UltimaKit for WP Pro installed and activated.
  • Go to the “WP UltimaKit” menu.
  • Find the “SMTP Email” and turn it on.
