Configure SMTP vs Hide Broken Shortcodes

Configure SMTP mailing in WordPress, including support for sending email via SSL/TLS (such as Gmail). This plugin is the official successor to the original SMTP plugin for WordPress (wpPHPMailer). Use this plugin to customize the SMTP mailing system used by default by WordPress to handle outgoing emails. It offers you the ability to specify: SMTP host name SMTP port number If SMTPAuth (authentication) should be used SMTP username SMTP password If the SMTP connection needs to occur over ssl or tls In addition, you can instead indicate that you wish to use Gmail to handle outgoing email, in which case the above settings are automatically configured to values appropriate for Gmail, though you’ll need to specify your Gmail email address (including the “@gmail.com”) and password. Regardless of whether SMTP is enabled, the plugin provides you the ability to define the name and email of the ‘From:’ field for all outgoing emails. A simple test button is also available that allows you to send a test email to yourself to check if sending email has been properly configured for your site.

By default in WordPress, if the plugin that provides the functionality to handle any given shortcode is disabled, or if a shortcode is improperly defined in the content (such as with a typo), then the shortcode in question will appear on the site in its entirety, unprocessed by WordPress. At best this reveals unsightly code-like text to visitors and at worst can potentially expose information not intended to be seen by visitors. This plugin prevents unhandled shortcodes from appearing in the content of a post or page. If the shortcode is of the self-closing variety, then the shortcode tag and its attributes are not displayed and nothing is shown in their place. If the shortcode is of the enclosing variety (an opening and closing tag bookend some text or markup), then the text that is being enclosed will be shown, but the shortcode tag and attributes that surround the text will not be displayed. See the Filters section for more customization tips.
