Good but could be improved

  • It mostly works, which is great and I don’t need most of the features. But the one feature I do need is incredibly simple and no mail plugin seems to have it yet.

    This is the ability to switch off emailing in the event of a url change, so that scheduled emails are not sent from a staging site. Sure I can do it manually, and usually I remember after a staging push. But recently I was distracted and a large number of review reminder emails got sent by a dev site.

    It’s really easy to implement, and plugins like Woocommerce subscriptions and WP Fusion already do something similar. Just obfuscate a copy of the installed domain url so a site migration find/change can’t change it, and compare it to the current domain. When it changes, turn email off and display a notice to say so.

    I can’t wait for the first email plugin to deliver this function!

    Edit: In relation to SES I have managed to store the keys somewhere that is not cloned to staging, and this achieves what I need.

    Edit2: No longer using this plugin as it has email failures in certain situations and the developer wasn’t interested in investigating.

    Hello @tufty,

    Thank you for considering the time to try out our plugin. Actually, Fluent SMTP already has the feature you mentioned. You can turn off email sending by enabling email simulation, kindly check the documentation. You can turn on Email Simulation mentioned in step 6, which will allow you to simulate all of your emails within WordPress. This will ensure that any emails will not be sent out from your website.

    It is normal that you’ve missed out on the feature hence you have provided the feedback. Also, as a customer-centric company, we appreciate each and every feedback and every review is important to us. So, we will appreciate it if you could reconsider your review and update the rating.

    Thank you

    Hello there and thank you very much for replying. But that is not what I am suggesting at all. What I know many people would find useful is for a regular setup on a production site to convert automatically to staging mode without intervention when the live site is pushed to staging.
