@luz To add PHPMailer to WordPress, you can follow these steps:
- Download the PHPMailer library from the official website or through a package manager like Composer.
- Extract the downloaded file and copy the PHPMailerAutoload.php file to your WordPress theme or plugin directory.
- You can use the PHPMailer class to send emails using the following code:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 |
require_once '/path/to/PHPMailerAutoload.php'; $mail = new PHPMailer; // Set mailer to use SMTP $mail->isSMTP(); // Set SMTP hostname $mail->Host = 'smtp.example.com'; // Set SMTP username and password $mail->Username = 'username'; $mail->Password = 'password'; // Set mailer to use TLS encryption $mail->SMTPSecure = 'tls'; // Set SMTP port $mail->Port = 587; // Set sender and recipient $mail->setFrom('[email protected]', 'Sender Name'); $mail->addAddress('[email protected]', 'Recipient Name'); // Set email subject and body $mail->Subject = 'Email Subject'; $mail->Body = 'Email body'; // Send the email if ($mail->send()) { echo 'Email sent successfully!'; } else { echo 'Error sending email: ' . $mail->ErrorInfo; } |
Note: This code is just an example and may not work out of the box. You will need to modify the code to use your own SMTP server details and email addresses.
