    Firstly, THANK YOU for contributing this to the WP community!

    I’ve just added an SMTP connection but I see no option to store credentials in wp-config.php as per: “when you create your connection you can choose how you want to store your connection credential. You can store at database or store at wp-config.php (recommended) file.”

    Where do I see/set that option?

  • It depends on which provider is being used for setting the API key in the site’s wp-config.php file. When you click on that option it would show an example constant and then replace out the example value with the actual API key.

    Example for storing the SendGrid API key in the sites wp-config.php file.

    define( 'FLUENTMAIL_SENDGRID_API_KEY', '********************' );

    This is for SMTP provider. From the instructions it sounds like there should be an option/prompt to automatically save to wp-config. I don’t see that.

    I was hoping to see this for SMTP provider too in order to keep the username/password for the SMTP provider out of the database as it is offered for others eg SendinBlue etc
