May be you are working in a server or in local machine, you may have situations where you want to track if mail is sending as you want. I find it very useful in my local server, because I don’t have any MTP installed in my local machine. So I use this following method to track the outgoing mails.
Utility function for logging:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 | /** * Logs error to file * * @uses `error_log` function to log on file * * @param string $error message of the error * @param string $type type of the error message */ function log_error( $error, $type = 'error' ) { $path = dirname( __FILE__ ) . '/log.txt'; $msg = sprintf( "[%s][%s] %s\n", date( 'd.m.Y h:i:s' ), $type, $error ); error_log( $msg, 3, $path ); } |
This function is a helper function that takes any data as input and log the data/error in a text file “log.txt” in the current directory.
Main logger function:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 | /** * Log the mail to text file * * @uses `wp_mail` filter * @param array $mail */ function wedevs_mail_log( $mail ) { $message = "to: {$mail['to']} \nsub: {$mail['subject']}, \nmsg:{$mail['message']}"; log_error( 'mail', $message ); return $mail; } add_filter( 'wp_mail', 'wedevs_mail_log', 10 ); |
This function adds a filter in the wp_mail filter and logs the mail through our logging utility function in the log.txt file. Quite handy, isn’t it?
I downloaded your wp user frontend plugin yesterday. I was excited because I have been looking for a plugin like this for a while or rather something like this. I have even been to sites that says hire me and got no response, so I want to tell you first for building it and second I’m having problems.
I don’t know what it means “Edit” page put url in admin option of plugin, third when you try to link to a word in a post the add link button is not working, and this plugin would be much better if the user can preview its work before submitting. I have been using this plugin on my sample site before I go live with it. I can’t use it or tell anyone about it with out the fixes. Its a cool plugin, aim a little towards the buddypress feel without the social. I have guess post sites.
Thanks.
