wp_mail

Summery Summery

Sends an email, similar to PHP’s mail function.

Syntax Syntax

wp_mail( string|array $to, string $subject, string $message, string|array $headers = '', string|array $attachments = array() )

Description Description

A true return value does not automatically mean that the user received the email successfully. It just only means that the method used was able to process the request without any errors.

The default content type is text/plain which does not allow using HTML. However, you can set the content type of the email by using the ‘wp_mail_content_type’ filter.

The default charset is based on the charset used on the blog. The charset can be set using the ‘wp_mail_charset’ filter.

Parameters Parameters

$to

(Required) Array or comma-separated list of email addresses to send message.

$subject

(Required) Email subject

$message

(Required) Message contents

$headers

(Optional) Additional headers.

Default value: ''

$attachments

(Optional) Files to attach.

Default value: array()

Return Return

(bool) Whether the email contents were sent successfully.
