By default, the mail() function of WordPress sets the sender name as "WordPress" and the sender email address as the admin email address configured in WordPress. This may not be ideal for repair shops that want to maintain a consistent brand identity in their email communications.
Use an SMTP Plugin:
If you're unable to get the "mail()" function enabled on your server, an alternative solution is to use a plugin that sends all emails through an SMTP server instead of using the default "mail()" function. One such plugin is "WP Mail SMTP by WPForms."
To install and configure the "WP Mail SMTP by WPForms" plugin, follow these steps:
Log in to your WordPress dashboard.
Go to Plugins > Add New.
Search for "WP Mail SMTP by WPForms."
Click "Install Now" and then "Activate."
After installing and activating the plugin, configure it as follows:
Go to Settings > WP Mail SMTP.
Fill in the SMTP server details, including the server name, port, encryption type, username, and password.
Decide which sender name you want to use.
Save your settings.
Now, all RepairPlugin emails will be sent using your SMTP server instead of the default "mail()" function.
Troubleshooting
Make sure to enter the details of your outgoing server, including the correct port.
