 * Hello!
 * Every time i want to set up **any** smtp mailer plugin or simply just reset an
   account password this message appears:
 * `Fatal error: Uncaught Error: Call to undefined function create_function() in/
   wp-includes/PHPMailer/Exception.php:48 Stack trace: #0 /wp-includes/PHPMailer/
   Exception.php(6): Foo->point() #1 /wp-includes/PHPMailer/Exception.php(275): 
   Foo->__construct() #2 /wp-content/plugins/easy-wp-smtp/easy-wp-smtp.php(220):
   require_once('...') #3 /wp-content/plugins/easy-wp-smtp/class-easywpsmtp-admin.
   php(206): EasyWPSMTP->test_mail() #4 /wp-includes/class-wp-hook.php(303): swpsmtp_settings()#

   8 /wp-admin/options-general.php(10): require_once('...') #9 {main} thrown in /
   wp-includes/PHPMailer/Exception.php on line 48`
 * I use the newest wordpress version and php8.0 with all the modules necessary.
 * What’s wrong? :/

 * That seems to be PHP 8 related. Seee [https://lindevs.com/function-create_function-has-been-removed-in-php-8-0/](https://lindevs.com/function-create_function-has-been-removed-in-php-8-0/)
 * The wp-smtp plugin is not PHP 8 ready at this time. I recommend asking at [https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/wp-smtp/#new-post](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/wp-smtp/#new-post)
   so the plugin’s developers and support community can help you with this.
