How to edit SMTP server, SMTP user, etc

  • My webhosting require SMTP authentification to sent email from contact form. But I can not find any setting for the SMTP server in WP. People who try to register from my site also did not receive any mail confirmation? Which file should I edit?

  • WP uses the SMTP settings as configured in PHP’s php.ini.

    If those settings aren’t working, search the plugins area as I think there’s a SMTP related plugin that will allow you to configure more information.

    Thank’s for your reply, I’ve just trying this wpPHPMailer https://www.coffee2code.com/archives/2004/06/28/plugin-wpphpmailer/, still can not sent any mail. I though WP is not using SMTP setting as a default mail transfer, but Sendmail via PHP Mail function?

    Where is the php.ini?

    Unless something changed:

    WP uses the SMTP settings as configured in PHP’s php.ini.

    I think it would be nice if WordPress could support manual SMTP settings editing. When I write small software applications for clients, I use phpMailer and load the settings from the database. This is extremely useful, especially since many people want to use authentication and remote servers.
