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. ## Installation 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 ## FAQ ### Where do I find the Site Admin email? On a normal WordPress installation, go to the Dashboard, then to Settings > General. Look for the “E-mail Address” field. On a Multisite WordPress installation, go to the Network Dashboard, then to Settings > Network Settings. Look for the “Network Admin Email” field. ### What if I forget to install this plugin when I recreate my Staging Site? It is recommended to activate this plugin on your Production site. It won’t have any affect on your Production site email, and then when you go to recreate your Staging site, it will already be activated and working. ## Reviews ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/c1a495bb566872f1f2f4b75931ef815d9e3ebdb55dfb6cb53a61dffbb6f2fd5b? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Does not seem to work](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/does-not-seem-to-work-34/)󠁿 [authentico](https://profiles.wordpress.org/authentico/) 16 November 2023 5 replies With this plugin active, email still was sent to original intended target email ( when using Post SMTP for sending, not sure if that makes difference). Second, when I disabled Post SMTP, no email got sent at all (expected: email is redirect to server admin email address).
