Sal Ferrarello

Stops outgoing emails sent from WordPress. This plugin stops 
outgoing emails generated by WordPress core, plugins, and themes. 
Emails sent using the <code>wp_mail()</code> function, will not be sent. 
In the case where an author does not use the recommended <code>wp_mail()</code> 
function and instead sends the email using another mechanism, an email will 
still be sent.
This plugin allows you to suspend sending emails when doing development work. 
Any calls to <code>wp_mail()</code> will fail silently. WordPress 
will operate as if the email were sent successfully 
but no email will actually be sent.
On the admin menu page Settings > Stop Emails, there is the option 
to log all emails to the PHP error log. By default this logging is 
disabled.
NOTE: If using the PHP <code>mail()</code> function directly, this 
plugin will NOT stop the emails.

Stop Emails

Simply Works

This works great. I had used it months ago for something else. But I needed to migrate a Ning.com website with members into a new Buddypress site. I had to make sure the members were not emailed or pinged. This plugin stopped all outgoing emails to all the members.

Works Great!

Worked out of the box for me on a VPS; we were developing a system in parallel to an existing site and someone else installed this instead of using our existing process. I learned of a new plugin and a new way of doing things for WP. Very impressed.

Great turn-key solution

Excellent plugin! Easy, effective, bloatless.

Easy and Effective

WordPress 5.5 introduced a way to differentiate between environment types (development, staging, production). This plugin shows your site’s environment type in the admin bar and the dashboard “At a Glance” widget.

To gain additional control — for example, setting the environment or other values from the WP admin (when <code>wp-config.php</code> is writable) — consider installing our other plugin <a href="https://wordpress.org/plugins/0-day-analytics/" rel="ugc">0 Day Analytics</a>.
<h3>Recommended Plugins</h3>

It includes a Cron manager, a Transient manager (database-backed), DB manager, Snippet manager, Mail manager, Plugin Version Switcher available from the Plugins page and many more.</li>

Display Environment Type

Have you ever accidentally added test content to a productive website?

You can now define a constant in your wp-config.php to distinguish between development, staging and productuion sites. To make this visible, this lean but helpful plugin adds an indicator to the admin bar and dashboard widget which helps to avoid mistakes as adding "Lorem ipsum" to your productive site. :)

Plugin works like a charm. No settings needed. Install, activate and feel happy.

Nice little helper


Five stars for Display Environment Type! 



Huge thanks to the author for creating this gem. The plugin might be small, but it's incredibly useful, doing exactly what you'd expect without any unnecessary clutter. No settings hassle – just install and get to work seamlessly.


This is what a developer needs
