Local Email Blocker is a lightweight WordPress plugin designed for developers and staging environments. It prevents WordPress from sending actual emails, instead intercepting them and storing them in your database for easy viewing. This is crucial for local development and staging sites where you don’t want test emails to accidentally reach real users.
Features:
<ul>
<li>Automatic Blocking: Automatically detects local development environments (localhost, .local, .test, .dev) and blocks emails.</li>
<li>Manual Blocking: Option to manually enable email blocking, perfect for staging sites.</li>
<li>SMTP Override: Can be configured to block emails even when an SMTP plugin is active, ensuring no emails escape.</li>
<li>Email Log: All intercepted emails are logged in the WordPress database, accessible via a dedicated admin page.</li>
<li>View Email Details: Easily view the full content, headers, and attachments of logged emails.</li>
<li>Clear Log: Option to clear all logged emails.</li>
<li>SMTP Status Detection: Provides information about your current SMTP configuration.</li>
</ul>
This plugin ensures that your development and staging processes are clean and free from unintended email dispatches, while still allowing you to inspect what emails would have been sent.

This plugins provides custom admin bar colors to differentiate environments (staging, preprod, production). It’s really easy to use and developer-friendly.
The plugin provides a settings screen which several options:
<ul>
<li>choose between several color predefined schemes.</li>
<li>use a favicon to better differentiate your environments in your browser’s tabs.</li>
<li>add a custom message in your admin bar, like “Production website”, “staging version” or whatever your want.</li>
<li>choose the user roles that will see the color scheme (other roles will see the default admin bar).</li>
</ul>
It also offers few PHP constants you can use in your <code>wp-config.php</code> file (see Frequently Asked Questions below).
Since WordPress Core will probably deprecate alternate admin color schemes in mid-term, this plugin is meant to be use by those who rely on colors to know is they are in staging, preproduction or production environment.
Last but not least, all provided color schemes are accessibility-ready!

Contextual Adminbar Color

OMG this is what I need.
I actually use the alternate colors, but I don't like to change the good "blacky" interface ;)
So, this is the best option ever.
And since the alt colors will disappear (soon?), it's a good idea to use this to prevent wrong wabsite updates and tons of wasted hours trying to figure "why this is not updating? HO CRAP I AM ON THE PRODUCTION SITE *phone rings* "hey, client… well listen… you won't believe me ha ha ha :|"

This is what I need

Perfect plugin that allows me to easily differentiate my various environments.

THX !

Great !!!

Really enjoy this plugin.
It’s simple and well integrated with WordPress admin UI.

I really like the optional configuration through wp-config.php.
After configuring it once in wp-config.php, I won’t ever need to reconfigure because it doesn’t loose settings on importing settings (eg. staging <-> production).

Great job @audrasjb!

Simple and very usefull!

Such a great helper! It gives me the safety to know exactly which environment I work on without having to worry. 
Sometimes things look just alike in your DEV, STAGE and PROD environment. And with this little plugin, it is immediately obvious which environment you work in.
And it also works on WP 5.6 - just checked...

Makes my life much better knowing exactly where I am

Use custom admin bar colors and favicons to differentiate your environments (staging/prod)
