## Skildring

Log emails to the WordPress database for later analysis. Access is restricted to
administrators, and emails with WordPress passwords are obfuscated for security /
privacy. Useful for diagnosing lost email problems.

Use this plugin with [Disable Emails](https://shop.webaware.com.au/downloads/disable-emails/)
to divert all WordPress emails into logs, especially handy for developers.

Logs are automatically purged after a defined period, set through a settings page
in the WordPress admin. Setting the period to 0 prevents logs from being purged.
Uninstalling the plugin purges all logs.

## Vanlege spm.

### Standard WordPress emails are logged, but some others are not

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…

### Why are some HTML emails broken?

Some plugins tell WordPress that their emails are HTML, using one of two accepted
methods. These emails are correctly recorded as HTML and should display reasonably
well in the logs. If they use CSS, they might not display exactly like they do in
an email program, but should still display OK.

Some plugins just dump HTML into emails without saying it’s HTML, or even following
basic HTML document rules. If those emails have an alternative body, implying HTML
+ plain text parts, they’ll be marked as HTML and will display as such.

If you find that emails from some plugins are broken, please tell me in the [support forum](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/log-emails).

### What performance impact does it have?

Logging emails writes to the database. The plugin uses a custom post type, so logging
each email has the same impact as saving a new WordPress post, i.e. generally not
much.

Thank you so much. At last a simple, lightweight plugin that works! No upselling
or additional frameworks. And it adds itself discretely and sensibly in the WP menu
system.

 [John Hawkins](https://profiles.wordpress.org/vegasgeek/) 6. oktober 2018

Seriously, this plugin is so freakin' helpful. I work on a lot of sites that I have
set up on my local development machine and don't have outgoing email set up on purpose.
Only rarely do I need access to test those emails. But when I need it, it's typically
urgent. This plugin has completely saved the day multiple times over the past month.
Thank you so much for the great work!
