Install

Download source zip No release zip yet

This is the repository archive. It installs, but the folder name will carry the branch suffix and updates will not flow.

Install straight from GitHub with WP-CLI:

wp plugin install https://github.com/robothead-eu/simple-wp-mail-log/archive/refs/heads/master.zip
No built-in updater. New versions won't appear under Dashboard → Updates. Install new releases yourself, or let Git Updater track the repository.
Readme github.com/robothead-eu/simple-wp-mail-log ↗

Logs outgoing WordPress emails and local send failures. Admin-only. No bloat.

What it does

  • Logs every wp_mail() attempt
  • Records local send failures with error details
  • Stores full email data: recipients, subject, body, headers, attachments, content type
  • Auto-expires logs based on a configurable retention period
  • Admin UI under Tools → Mail Log

It reflects what happened inside WordPress at send time. It does not claim to prove delivery.

Requirements

  • PHP 8.1+
  • WordPress 6.0+
