How to prevent emails go to spam folder? How to use SMTP ?

1 minute read

This theme sends emails via the default WordPress function. If you receive emails from your WordPress e.g. right after WordPress installation or when you change your password, it means that your server will also work with our theme. It is the same function.

By default, WordPress uses the PHP mail() function, which is often why emails go to the Spam folder. To avoid this, you can make a bit more advanced mail setup

1. Install “WP MAIL SMTP” plugin

First, visit the Plugins » Add New page inside your WordPress admin area. Search form plugin "WP MAIL SMTP" and "install now".

2. Activate the plugin

3. Hover over the “Settings” tab in the left sidebar and click “Email”

4. Configure SMTP options

We recommend enabling SMTP via Gmail account because it is the most stable and always works. Please check this article on how to configure it: https://wpmailsmtp.com/docs/how-to-set-up-the-gmail-mailer-in-wp-mail-smtp/
