<p>This plugin logs the activity of supported plugins to a file, making it easier to figure out why there’s a problem.</p>
<p>If you have been asked to install this plugin because of a support issue then installing this plugin is just like installing any other plugin. Once installed, go to Settings->WP Logger and enable logging. If you have a number of supported plugins enable the one you are interested in.</p>
<p>Developers who want to use this plugin to add logging to their own plugin should see the Developers section of this documentation.</p>
<p>Mark Jaquith’s <a href="https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/monitor-pages/" rel="ugc">Monitor Pages</a> plugin was used as a template for this plugin. Thanks Mark!</p>

<p>Other plugins can use this plugin to record important events which are then dumped to a log file. Plugins must add the event to a global array in the following way:</p>
<pre><code>$GLOBALS[ 'wp_log' ][ 'name_of_plugin' ][] = 'Some important event';
</code></pre>
<p>Plugins must also add themselves to a list of enabled plugins. This will make it easier for blog owners to filter out which plugin they want to debug on the settings page. Add and edit the following code so it is executed when the plugin is loaded.</p>
<pre><code>$GLOBALS[ 'wp_log_plugins' ][] = 'name_of_plugin';
</code></pre>
<p>A hypothetical example might be a plugin (let’s call it “Big A”) that uses the output buffer to change the letter “a” to “A”. The events recorded by this might include the following:</p>
<pre><code>$GLOBALS[ 'wp_log' ][ 'big_a' ][] = 'Created output buffer';
$GLOBALS[ 'wp_log' ][ 'big_a' ][] = 'Output buffer callback';
$GLOBALS[ 'wp_log' ][ 'big_a' ][] = 'Replaced a with A in page';
</code></pre>
<p>This plugin takes the “wp_log” array and dumps it to a file in the upload directory of the blog it’s activated on. The file is linked from the plugin settings page and can be deleted on that page too. The file is a simple text file and is not protected in any way so be careful if auth cookies are logged by a plugin.</p>
<p>A “log” function isn’t included but if you want to add one to your plugin check the constant WP_DEBUG_LOG is defined before adding to the log array. If your plugin doesn’t use a class make sure that you call the log function a unique name so it doesn’t conflict with other plugins.</p>
<pre><code>function log( $message ) {
    if ( defined( 'WP_DEBUG_LOG' ) )
        $GLOBALS[ 'wp_log' ][ 'name_of_plugin' ][] = $message;
}
</code></pre>

<p><a href="https://wpemaillog.com/" rel="nofollow ugc">Email Log</a> is a WordPress plugin that allows you to easily log and view all emails that were sent from WordPress.</p>
<p>This would be very useful for debugging email related problems in your WordPress site or for storing sent emails for auditing purposes, especially on ecommerce sites that are setup with either WooCommerce or Easy Digital Downloads.</p>
<p>You can perform advanced actions like re-sending email, automatically forwarding emails, export logs and automatically monitor email deliverability with the <a href="https://wpemaillog.com/" rel="nofollow ugc">PRO version</a>.</p>
<p>Works with WordPress Multisite as well.</p>
<h3>Viewing logged emails</h3>
<p>The logged emails will be stored in a separate table and can be viewed from the admin interface.</p>
<p>While viewing the logs, the emails can be filtered or sorted based on the date, email, subject etc.</p>
<h3>Deleting logged emails</h3>
<p>In the admin interface, all the logged emails can be delete in bulk or can also be selectively deleted based on date, email and subject.</p>
<p>If you want to automatically delete the email logs after some days upgrade to the PRO version.</p>
<h3>Resend email (PRO version)</h3>
<p>Resend the email directly from the email log. You can modify the different fields of the email before resending it.</p>
<h3>More Fields (PRO version)</h3>
<p>Get access to additional fields in the email log page. The following are the additional fields that are added in the pro version.</p>
<ul>
<li>From</li>
<li>CC</li>
<li>BCC</li>
<li>Reply To</li>
<li>Attachment</li>
</ul>
<h3>Forward email (PRO version)</h3>
<p>Pro version allows you to send a copy of all the emails send from WordPress to another email address.</p>
<p>You can choose whether you want to forward through to, cc or bcc fields.</p>
<p>This can be extremely useful when you want to debug by analyzing the emails that are sent from WordPress.</p>
<h3>Export email logs (PRO version)</h3>
<p>Export the email logs as a CSV file for further processing or record keeping.</p>
<h3>Documentation</h3>
<p>You can find fully searchable documentation in the <a href="https://wpemaillog.com/docs/" rel="nofollow ugc">doc section of the Email Log</a> website.</p>


Email Log

While working locally to develop plugins, i was either using SMTP or custom print/exit code to debug emails. Email Log saves me from that, and does exactly it promises. 

Extremely useful

Does what the name suggests and does it well :-)

Does what it says!

Excellent plugin


I use this plugin on all sites I manage. Ver useful when there are questions about if email was sent, when, to whom an with what content. Does what it says, and rarely any issues. Well maintained.


Great plugin, working well


Notice: Function _load_textdomain_just_in_time was called incorrectly. Translation loading for the email-log domain was triggered too early. This is usually an indicator for some code in the plugin or theme running too early. Translations should be loaded at the init action or later. Please see Debugging in WordPress for more information. (This message was added in version 6.7.0.) in /var/www/html/wp-includes/functions.php on line 6114Great plugin.


Broken please fix.

Log and view all outgoing emails from WordPress. Very useful if you have to debug email related problems or have to store sent emails for auditing.
