WP Test Email

How well this listing is tuned to rank in WordPress.org search, on the factors an owner controls. Not popularity, optimization.

Directory rank vs rivals

wp.org popularity rank over time · higher is better · when a rival's line climbs above yours, they've overtaken you

How often this plugin actually ships. A steady rhythm is the maintenance signal a single "last updated" date can't show.

Share of active installs on each version of this plugin · 100% run the current release. Green is the current release; a big slice on older versions is a user base that has stopped updating.

Refined from the date this plugin crossed into its current band.

No paid tier is visible, so we don't put a figure on revenue or sale value: that would be guessing. The install base is a real asset to an acquirer, just not one public data lets us price.

   One of my few “go to” plugins that does exactly what it says. Dead simple, no bloat, huge fan.

   I needed a way to send some transactional emails from WordPress to test whether or not they were being sent out via PHP. This tool made it very simple to test the mail function.

   hi i tested the Version 1.1.9 the plugin runs fine but it only says mail send / mail not sent. no more info… The logs list feature (which is not explained in the video tutorial) does not tell us the error message. or returned error why the mail is not send.

   While SMTP plugins often have email testing, very few plugins allow you to test your WP email delivery without being part of another plugin. For example, I have a client who uses Mailgun. I switched to the Mailgun plugin from a popular SMTP plugin, but it cannot send test emails! So, this plugin is perfect for testing these types of things. It’s nice to find plugins that do exactly what they say they will and have no extra stuff.

   You should improve the code to make it use the same configuration as WP .. Emails work perfectly, if tested with mail-testers, whether they are sent from Outlook, from the cell or from the site .. Only with one plugin doesn’t work, this ..!
