How to enable email notifications from your WordPress App

Important tips

The default PHP mail() function generates emails that are filtered out on Realize Hosting to minimize spam load
The FluentSMTP plugin is installed by default to allow you to set you basic email sending options for your WordPress installation

Enter your WordPress Dashboard

Log into reyalizehosting.com
Go to the “Websites” tab
Select your website name
Click on “Login to admin” in order to use the SSO login functionality

Find the FluentSMTP plugin

Under ‘Plugins’ you will find the pre-installed FluentSMTP plugin
- If the plugin is not there, you can install it manually
Under ‘Settings’ -> ‘FluentSMTP’ you will find the settings

Apply the correct settings

Under “Please configure …..”, choose PHP and configure the following:

From email: an email address from your domain that you want to show as the “From” address
From name: Any name you want to show as “From” on received emails
Check the “force from email” and “set the return path” options, and optionally the “force sender name” option.

Once filled out correctly, save the changes and send a Test Email via the top row tab to confirm correct settings. Consider selecting a longer Email Log interval.
