Redirect Emails on Staging

When using the Staging site on WP Engine, you may want to prevent the staging version of your site from sending emails to your site users. This plugin redirects all emails to the site admin.

This plugin should be activated on your Production site. Don’t worry — it won’t do anything unless it is active on Staging site. Once you create a new copy of your Staging site, the plugin will start taking effect there.

This plugin is compatible with WordPress Multisite. If you’re using it in a Multisite environment, it is recommended to either Network Activate the plugin, or follow the instructions for installing it to the mu-plugins directory.

Simple installation:

1. Upload the redirect-emails-on-staging folder to your /wp-content/plugins/ directory
2. Activate the plugin through the “Plugins” menu in WordPress

Advanced installation (mu-plugins directory):

1. Upload just the redirect-emails-on-staging.php file to your /wp-content/mu-plugins/ directory
2. That’s it… the plugin is already activated! Take a look under Plugins > Must Use
