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.

Though it is typically an individually configurable aspect of WordPress, there are times when forcing a single admin color scheme upon all users of a site can be warranted, such as to:
<ul>
<li>Provide a unique backend color scheme for multiple sites used by the same set of users to reinforce the difference between the sites.</li>
<li>Clearly denote backend differences between a production and staging/test instance of a site. Especially given that in this situation with the same plugins active and often the same data present, it can be easy to get mixed up about what site you’re actually on.</li>
<li>Force a site brand-appropriate color scheme.</li>
<li>Crush the expression of individuality under your iron fist.</li>
</ul>
Additionally, the plugin removes the “Admin Color Scheme” profile setting from users who don’t have the capability to set the admin color scheme globally since being able to set its value gives them the false impression that it may actually apply.

<h3>Hooks</h3>
The plugin is further customizable via one filter. Typically, code making use of filters should ideally be put into a mu-plugin or site-specific plugin (which is beyond the scope of this readme to explain).
c2c_force_admin_color_scheme (filter)
The ‘c2c_force_admin_color_scheme’ filter allows you to set or override the forced admin color scheme. Use of the constant (“) takes priority over the filtered value, but the filtered value takes priority over the value set via the admin.
Arguments:
<ul>
<li>$color (string): The name of the admin color scheme. If an empty string is returned, then the plugin will behave as if no forced admin color scheme has been defined.</li>
</ul>
Example:
<pre><code>/**
 * Sets a forced admin color scheme based on user. Admins get one color scheme, whereas everyone else gets another.
 *
 * @param string $color The current forced admin color scheme. Empty string indicates no forced admin color scheme.
 * @return string
 */
function my_c2c_force_admin_color_scheme( $color ) {
 return current_user_can( 'manage_options' ) ? 'sunrise' : 'coffee';
}
add_filter( 'c2c_force_admin_color_scheme', 'my_c2c_force_admin_color_scheme' );
</code></pre>
