Adding Custom PHP Code Snippets

Then, hover over Add Your Custom Code (New Snippet) and click on the Use snippet button.
This opens up the code editor for your custom code snippet. Start by naming your custom code snippet with a title that you’ll easily remember. This will help you know which code it is, at a glance.
Next, select PHP Snippet from the Code Type dropdown.
Then, copy the custom code snippet you’d want to use from one of the WP Mail SMTP code snippet guides and paste it into the code box.
Then, toggle on the Active option.
Next, you’ll see some options in the Insertion section. You can skip this, as we’re dealing with a PHP snippet, the Auto Insert method will be used by default, allowing it to run everywhere on your site. So there’s no need to change anything in this section.
Once you’ve done all the changes, click on the Save Snippet button.
After you’ve activated and saved the code snippet, it will be added to your site automatically.
That’s it! Now you know how to successfully add a custom PHP code snippet to your WordPress site.
