Using wp_mail() instead of mail() in Wordpress does not work

Question

Since PHP mail has been disabled on my server it has stopped a theme integrated contact form from working.

The theme is called Boldy and it has its own sendmail.php file

Answer 1

I've lost about 30 minutes figuring this out.

If you're using anything that allows you to configure SMTP within WordPress, take it out.

Then put everything into a function:

add_action('init','delay_until_init');
function delay_until_init(){
   // call wp_mail() here
}
