Enable Auto-assign for round-robin distribution among agents in that department.<\/li>\n<li>Create projects under Support Ticket Plus \u2192 Projects (title only). Customers select a project when creating a ticket; admins can filter the ticket list by project.<\/li>\n<li>(Optional) Configure Support Hours under Support Ticket Plus \u2192 Settings \u2192 General \u2192 Support Hours: enable the login-screen status widget, set timezone, working days, start\/end times, and optional online\/offline override.<\/li>\n<li>(Optional) Grant staff permissions under Support Ticket Plus \u2192 Roles. Every logged-in user is a customer by default. Grant the Tickets permission to a WordPress role (for example Editor) to make those users support agents.

Support Ticket Plus sends email for registration confirmation, new ticket alerts, reply notifications, and status\/assignment updates. SMTP uses your mail provider's authenticated server so messages are delivered reliably.<\/p>\n\n<ol>\n<li>Go to Support Ticket Plus \u2192 Settings \u2192 SMTP.<\/li>\n<li>Fill in the fields from your mail provider (Gmail, Microsoft 365, cPanel, SendGrid, etc.): SMTP Host, Port (465 SSL or 587 TLS), Username, Password (prefer app passwords for Gmail), From Email, From Name, Encryption.<\/li>\n<li>Click Save Changes.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n<h4>Set up a real WordPress cron job (recommended)<\/h4>\n\n<p>WordPress\u2019s built-in WP-Cron only runs when someone visits your site. For reliable delayed Instant Replies, SLA checks, and (with Pro) Gmail inbound polling, configure a real server cron that hits <code>wp-cron.php<\/code> every minute:<\/p>\n\n<ol>\n<li>In your host\u2019s control panel (cPanel, Plesk, etc.) or SSH crontab, add a job that runs every minute.<\/li>\n<li><p>Use a command like this (replace the URL with your site):<\/p>\n\n<p>*\/1 * * * * curl -s https:\/\/example.com\/wp-cron.php?doing_wp_cron &gt;\/dev\/null 2&gt;&amp;1<\/p>\n\n<p>Or with wget:<\/p>\n\n<p>*\/1 * * * * wget -q -O - https:\/\/example.com\/wp-cron.php?doing_wp_cron &gt;\/dev\/null 2&gt;&amp;1<\/p><\/li>\n<li><p>(Optional but recommended) Disable the default visitor-triggered cron by adding this line to <code>wp-config.php<\/code> above the \u201cThat\u2019s all, stop editing!\u201d comment:<\/p>\n\n<p>define( 'DISABLE_WP_CRON', true );<\/p><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n<p>Without a server cron, scheduled tasks still work, but they may run late on low-traffic sites.<\/p>\n\n<!--section=faq-->\n<dl>\n<dt id=\"how%20do%20i%20make%20someone%20a%20support%20agent%3F\"><h3>How do I make someone a support agent?<\/h3><\/dt>\n<dd><p>Go to Support Ticket Plus \u2192 Roles and grant the Tickets permission to the WordPress role that user has (for example, Editor).
