Liza With WordPress, send email function could be tricky to master. Sure, there’s wp_mail, but it’s unreliable for several reasons.
For example, WordPress web hosting services have different PHP mail configurations. Or they even block sending entirely to prevent spamming. Then, the native wp_mail has very limited capabilities when it comes to the type of emails you can send.
There are WordPress hosting providers that include usable configuration for each WordPress site, but it’s an exception rather than a rule. And if you’re tech-savvy, it’s possible to configure WordPress manually to ensure your emails get delivered.
Either way, this is a developer-minded guide that will lead you through different scenarios and show you how to integrate Mailtrap SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol) with your WordPress site.
