No emails will be sent, not even for password resets or administrator notifications. WordPress websites can send emails for a variety of reasons — e.g user registration, password reset, enquiry form submission, e-commerce purchase — but sometimes you don’t want it to send anything at all. Some reasons for disabling all emails: * demonstration websites that allow users to do things that normally send emails * development / test websites with live data that might email real customers * bulk-loading data into websites which might trigger emails * adding new sites into multisite installations > NB: if you need to run this plugin on WordPress 5.4 or earlier, and must install > manually from a .zip file, please install version 1.6.3 which you can [download from the Advanced page for the plugin](https://wordpress.org/plugins/disable-emails/advanced/). > Since version 1.7.0, WordPress 5.5 or later is required. ### Übersetzungen Many thanks to the generous efforts of our translators: * Chinese (zh-CN) — [Cai_Miao](https://profiles.wordpress.org/cai_miao) and [the Chinese translation team](https://translate.wordpress.org/locale/zh-cn/default/wp-plugins/disable-emails/) * Chinese (zh-TW) — [the Chinese (Taiwan) translation team](https://translate.wordpress.org/locale/zh-tw/default/wp-plugins/disable-emails/) * Tschechisch (cs-CZ) — [Rudolf Klusal](http://www.klusik.cz/) * Dutch (nl_NL) — [the Dutch translation team](https://translate.wordpress.org/locale/nl/default/wp-plugins/disable-emails/) * English (en_CA) — [the English (Canadian) translation team](https://translate.wordpress.org/locale/en-ca/default/wp-plugins/disable-emails/) * English (en_GB) — [the English (UK) translation team](https://translate.wordpress.org/locale/en-gb/default/wp-plugins/disable-emails/) * French (fr_FR) — [the French translation team](https://translate.wordpress.org/locale/fr/default/wp-plugins/disable-emails/) * Korean (ko_KR) — [the Korean translation team](https://translate.wordpress.org/locale/ko/default/wp-plugins/disable-emails/) * Japanese (ja) — [Cai_Miao](https://profiles.wordpress.org/cai_miao) and [the Japanese translation team](https://translate.wordpress.org/locale/ja/default/wp-plugins/disable-emails/) * Deutsch (de-DE) — [Peter Harlacher](http://helvetian.io/) * Norwegian: Bokmål (nb-NO) — [neonnero](http://www.neonnero.com/) * Norwegian: Nynorsk (nn-NO) — [neonnero](http://www.neonnero.com/) * Russian (ru_RU) — [the Russian translation team](https://translate.wordpress.org/locale/ru/default/wp-plugins/disable-emails/) * Swedish (sv_SE) — [the Swedish translation team](https://translate.wordpress.org/locale/sv/default/wp-plugins/disable-emails/) If you’d like to help out by translating this plugin, please [sign up for an account and dig in](https://translate.wordpress.org/projects/wp-plugins/disable-emails). ## Installation 1. Either install automatically through the WordPress admin, or download the .zip file, unzip to a folder, and upload the folder to your /wp-content/plugins/ directory. Read [Installing Plugins](https://codex.wordpress.org/Managing_Plugins#Installing_Plugins) in the WordPress Codex for details. 2. Aktiviere das Plugin im Menü ‚Plugins‘ im WordPress Backend. 3. Optional: from the WordPress admin, navigate to Settings > Disable Emails and click the „Activate must-use plugin“ if you want the plugin to always be activated, no matter what. ## FAQ ### Why am I still getting standard WordPress emails? You probably have another plugin that adds its own implementation of the `wp_mail()` function. Try disabling some plugins. In some circumstances, enabling the must-use plugin from settings will fix this, because must-use plugins load before other plugins. ### Standard WordPress emails have stopped, but some others still get sent You probably have a plugin that is sending emails via some other method, like directly using the PHP `mail()` function, or directly implementing an SMTP client. Not much I can do about that… ### Wie funktioniert es? The plugin replaces the standard WordPress `wp_mail()` function with a function that sends no emails. Nada. Zip. Silence. Behind the scenes, it creates a private copy of PHPMailer and allows the system to interact with it, but silently suppresses the functions that send emails. The standard WordPress filter and action hooks are supported, so plugins that register hooks for those will still function as normal. It just doesn’t actually send any emails. ### Can I make it a must-use plugin? Yes. Once you have activated the plugin, navigate to Settings > Disable Emails and click the „Activate must-use plugin“. This will create a must-use plugin (mu-plugin) that ensures that Disable Emails is always loaded. This can be especially useful on development websites where the database is frequently refreshed from a live site which _does not_ have Disable Emails activated. NB: if you activate the must-use plugin on a multisite, it will stop emails on all sites on the multisite! If you have multiple networks on your multisite, the must- use plugin will stop emails on all networks. ### Contributions * [Translate into your preferred language](https://translate.wordpress.org/projects/wp-plugins/disable-emails) * [Fork auf GitHub erstellen](https://github.com/webaware/disable-emails) ## Rezensionen ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/35314daa56602a02eb8470bb014971b2b9d090bb75b38792ac1399fb066a2650? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Great plugin](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/great-plugin-41101/)󠁿 [Marcos Nakamine](https://profiles.wordpress.org/marcosnakamine/) 4.

Dezember 2023 This plugin helps a lot when you need to test or import and need to disable email sending. ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/ce2eb91dc8f4041fd4b608807dd1ead4caa26f58a84014cfa939c9cd2d5a48b6? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Works perfectly! Staging site peace of mind.](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/works-perfectly-staging-site-peace-of-mind/)󠁿 [AJD](https://profiles.wordpress.org/ajd/) 20. November 2023 We needed to make sure that automatic emails do not go out to customers from a staging site. In conjunction with an mail logging plugin, you can still see which emails would have gone out, so also great for troubleshooting email processes. Install, activate, done. Thank you! ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/b386455620084633756983fc57b321d21ecfcba3a1be005259e7fd0fc9c5fce6? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Works like a charm](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/works-like-a-charm-2129/)󠁿 [Dani](https://profiles.wordpress.org/daniw42/) 13. November 2022 I’ve been using this Plugin a lot lately and it does a great job while also being ridiculous easy. ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/80c838b93c23e1188834951292bef5eabd69d9f171f22841d643b94cc7970430? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Great for our staging sites](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/great-for-our-staging-sites/)󠁿 [Dave Loodts](https://profiles.wordpress.org/davelo/) 14. Juni 2022 Great plugin that we use on our staging sites. Some sites use a pre-order plugi for WooCommerce, sending out mails when particular launch date is there. Of course, we don’t want the staging site to sent out mails. That’s a no go.
