Configuring SMTP in WordPress using a plugin
Installing the plugin There are several plugins that allow you to configure SMTP on a WordPress site. Their configuration is similar. For the purposes of this demonstration, we will use the Easy WP SMTP plugin.To install an SMTP plugin for WordPress, you need to log in to WordPress. In the main menu, click on Plugins -> Add New. In the "Search Plugins" field, type Easy WP SMTP (or any other SMTP plugin) and press Enter. Once the plugin appears, click on "Install" and then on "Activate."
Opening an email account Using the cPanel control panel, you can open an email account on your domain and use it as needed. You can choose any address you want (for example: [email protected] or [email protected]). With Linux hosting, you get unlimited email addresses with every website hosting package, including WordPress hosting. Configuring the plugin In every SMTP plugin, the settings screen will look slightly different, and you will access it from different places. In the case of the above plugin, the settings screen is available from the main menu - Settings -> Easy WP SMTP.
On this screen, you must fill in the email address you created, the name that will appear when the email is sent, and the reply-to address (optional).
In the SMTP Host field, type uscp.linux-hosting.network.
Type of Encryption - select SSL.
SMTP Port - the port is 465.
SMTP Username - the full email address you set up.
SMTP Password - the password you created when you set up the email address.
Then, click Save Changes and check if the email arrives from the contact form.
