Configure SMTP vs One Click Close Comments

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.

From the admin listing of posts (‘Edit Posts’) and pages (‘Edit Pages’), a user can close or open comments to any posts to which they have sufficient privileges to make such changes (essentially admins and post authors for their own posts). This is done via an AJAX-powered color-coded indicator. The color-coding gives instant feedback on the current status of the post for comments: green means the post/page is open to comments, red means the post/page is closed to comments. Being AJAX-powered means that the change is submitted in the background after being clicked without requiring a page reload. This plugin will only function for administrative users in the admin who have JavaScript enabled.
