About Disable Emails

The Disable Emails plugin allows you to prevent your WordPress website from sending any emails, including password resets and notifications. This can be useful for demonstration websites, development sites with live data, bulk-loading data, and adding new sites to multisite installations. Please note that if you are using WordPress 5.4 or earlier, you will need to install version 1.6.3 manually from a .zip file.
