    My emails are not working on my wordpress website and I need to change my password. But its greyed out and I can’t change it.

    It listed this information, but it’s all Greek to me (I’m Australian):

    The value of this field was set using a constant WPMS_SMTP_PASS most likely inside wp-config.php of your WordPress installation.

    To change the password you need to change the value of the constant there: define( 'WPMS_SMTP_PASS', 'your_old_password' );
    If you want to disable the use of constants, find in wp-config.php file the constant WPMS_ON and turn if off:define( ‘WPMS_ON’, false );

    All the defined constants will stop working and you will be able to change all the values on this page.

    Hi @rikschnabel

    The wp-config.php file is inside WordPress files on your web server.

    You can normally access those files via your hosting account’s file manager.

    Here is a guide, it mentions using something called FTP, but you can use your hosting company file manager as mentioned before.

    I hope this helps.

    Hi @rikschnabel ,

    We haven’t heard back from you in a few days, so I’m going to go ahead and close this thread for now. But if you’d like us to assist further, please feel welcome to continue the conversation.

    Thanks!
