WordPress 5.5 Deprecates functionality

    FYI, although it is not out yet, WordPress 5.5 will deprecate functionality that this plugin relies on. Ran into this while I was doing some testing work with this plugin on WordPress 5.5, with WP_DEBUG enabled.

    Here is the content of the warning:

    Deprecated: class-phpmailer.php is <strong>deprecated</strong> since version 5.5.0! Use wp-includes/PHPMailer/PHPMailer.php instead. The PHPMailer class has been moved to wp-includes/PHPMailer subdirectory and now uses the PHPMailer\PHPMailer namespace. in /var/www/html/wp-includes/functions.php on line 4924

    Just an FYI.

    Additionally, when attempting to send a test email with the plugin the following errors occur:

     Fatal error: Uncaught Error: Class 'PHPMailer\PHPMailer\SMTP' not found in /var/www/html/wp-includes/PHPMailer/PHPMailer.php on line 1821
( ! ) Error: Class 'PHPMailer\PHPMailer\SMTP' not found in /var/www/html/wp-includes/PHPMailer/PHPMailer.php on line 1821

    Hi @pkarjala,

    We just released an update (v2.2.1) which has the WP 5.5 compatibility.

    Could you please try to updated and test it out? Thank you very much!

    Have a nice day!

    Sure; I’m on another project for this week but I should have time to spin up the VM again early next week to test.

    Thanks!

    Hi,

    oh, you don’t need to do that. I just though you use 5.5 actively. We’ve already got two confirmations that it works OK.

    Thank you for your help and have a nice day!

    Ah, I didn’t get this message until just now. Regardless, I tested on 5.5b2 this morning with v2.2.1 of the plugin and it work just fine, so you have another confirmation!

    Thanks for your work on an excellent plugin.
