Since there are more and more difficulties with PHPMail and the emails via the form end up in spam with many providers as a result, it would be sexy to have a simple SMTP setting under Bricks > Settings.
Fields like:
I am aware that you can do this via plugin, a function or via the wp-config.php, but just, it would be sexy to have this implementation in Bricks. Shouldn’t be a big deal.
In my opinion, Bricks has to remain a website builder tool. There are a lots of SMTP plugins which are lightweight and do exactly what you are looking for.
I know you are not looking for a plugin, but just in case, if somebody needs a simple SMTP plugin, this one works perfectly: FluentSMTP – WP Mail SMTP, Amazon SES, SendGrid, MailGun and Any SMTP Connector Plugin – WordPress plugin | WordPress.org
Agree with you, but the implementation would be so simple and by the fact that Bricksbuilder also offers a form, that would ev. be a nice option without plugin.
If I remember correctly, Elementor offered SMTP neither, even if they have form element.
I am not in favour of this request. Define SMTP at your server level if you are on a vps/dedicated server or just use a well known smtp plugin. Adding lot of unnecessary code can add to lead to security issues.
In any case you should not use password based smtp. Oauth is the way to go.
I think there are enough SMTP solutions that do this greatly while being lightweight.
I guess easier than implementing conditions, but “so simple”? I don’t think so. Even if it was quite simple, there are many features/ideas that I think are more needed and wanted in Bricks right now.
