 * Is see all these posts here with the problems of the code going corrupt when 
   updates happen?
 *     ```
       define( 'WPMS_ON', true );
       define( 'WPMS_SMTP_PASS', 'your_password' );
       ```

 * Hi [@albabes](https://wordpress.org/support/users/albabes/),
 * Thanks for reaching out! What’s the mailer that you have configured on your site?
 * If you configure WP Mail SMTP constants by following [this guide](https://wpmailsmtp.com/docs/how-to-secure-smtp-settings-by-using-constants/),
   it will work even after updating your WordPress, plugins or theme.
 * Thanks!

 * Hi Darshana,
    I asked a yes/no question, so I don’t understand your response?
   I don’t use a MAILER.

 * Hi [@albabes](https://wordpress.org/support/users/albabes/),
 * As I have explained above, it won’t conflict with your updates.
 * You’re actually adding those changes to the **wp-config.php** file, which will
   be ignored by WordPress updates.
 * I hope that helps. Thanks!
