<p><strong>Local Email Blocker</strong> 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.</p>
<p><strong>Features:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Automatic Blocking:</strong> Automatically detects local development environments (localhost, .local, .test, .dev) and blocks emails.</li>
<li><strong>Manual Blocking:</strong> Option to manually enable email blocking, perfect for staging sites.</li>
<li><strong>SMTP Override:</strong> Can be configured to block emails even when an SMTP plugin is active, ensuring no emails escape.</li>
<li><strong>Email Log:</strong> All intercepted emails are logged in the WordPress database, accessible via a dedicated admin page.</li>
<li><strong>View Email Details:</strong> Easily view the full content, headers, and attachments of logged emails.</li>
<li><strong>Clear Log:</strong> Option to clear all logged emails.</li>
<li><strong>SMTP Status Detection:</strong> Provides information about your current SMTP configuration.</li>
</ul>
<p>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.</p>

<p>With this plugin, you can:</p>
<ul>
<li>Create a copy of your site in a private WordPress Playground instance.</li>
<li>Test plugins from the WordPress plugin directory without actually installing them on your site.</li>
</ul>
<p>Your site is cloned in Playground by copying all the files and a database into WordPress Playground. It may sound scary, but your data stays safely with you and is <strong>not</strong> uploaded to any cloud service. Instead, your site’s data is shipped directly to your web browser where it stays only as long as you keep your browser tab open. That’s right! WordPress Playground runs a copy of your site directly on your device.</p>
