Disable Emails v1.8.3 is a free WordPress plugin with 30K+ active installs, 5/5 rating from 20 reviews, updated September 6, 2026, requires WordPress 5.5+ & PHP 5.6+. Download the latest GPL version below — free, with live demo included.
Stop a WordPress website from sending any emails using the standard wp_mail() function. 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. Since version 1.7.0, WordPress 5.5 or later is required.
