Long-form description · keyword frequency

In some cases you want your wordpress users to login with their email address instead of the username. To do this, you can use a good plugin like ‘WP Email Login’ or you can activate a ‘Register Plus Redux’ plugin’s option, but when the users will ask for lost password, the old / original username will be emailed to them, and this can cause confusion. To avoid this situation, just install and activate Login Email Sync, and it will sync the username ( user_login database field ) with the email ( user_email database field ) every time a user updates her/his profile. If you find this plugin useful, please rate it.

Simple SMTP

Adds a simple, no-fuss SMTP settings to your WordPress installation that lets you define custom settings, which is especially useful for hosts with no control over the php mail functionality. If logging is enabled, a new segment in the settings panel will show up with a 30-day overview of recent emails, and will automatically prune older logs. Please see the FAQ if you want a more permanent solution. For more information, please see the project wiki on GitHub. Environment and constant overriding (optional) This plugin will prefer environmental and constant-stored values over the plugin-saved equivalent settings, making it easier to use this plugin via deployment. These can be either stored in your systems env setup, or in wp-config.php as define( 'SEE_BELOW', 'your_value_here' );. Accepted Parameters SMTP_HOST (string) Mail server hostname. SMTP_PORT (integer) Port address (usually 25, 465 or 587). SMTP_AUTH (integer, 1 or 0) Pass below credentials to your mail server. SMTP_USER (string) The mail username for this account. SMTP_PASS (string) The password for the mailer account. SMTP_FROM (string) Enforce all emails come from this email address. SMTP_FROMNAME (string) Enforce all emails to have a certain email name. SMTP_SEC (string) Use a particular email security method (accepts ‘def’ (default), ‘ssl’, ‘tls’ and ‘off’). SMTP_NOVERIFYSSL (boolean) Disable validation of the SMTP server certificate (not recommended). SMTP_LOG (boolean) Controls the logging capability and visibility. SMTP_DISABLE (boolean) Disables the mailer. They will still be logged if enabled, but won’t send out. It is recommended to store at least SMTP_PASS in your wp-config.php file (with the correct file permissions set). If the openssl extension is available, the plugin will attempt to encrypt the password in the database.
