## Description

Ultimate Email Logger records every email your WordPress site sends through `wp_mail()`
and stores it in a dedicated database table you can search, view, resend, forward,
export, and track.

Works with WooCommerce, Easy Digital Downloads, Contact Form 7, Gravity Forms, WPForms,
FluentCRM, LearnDash, BuddyPress, WP Mail SMTP, and any plugin that uses `wp_mail()`.

### Features

 * Logs every outgoing email with To, From, CC, BCC, Reply-To, Subject, Body, Headers,
   Attachments, and Status as dedicated indexed columns.
 * Log viewer with sortable columns, date and status filters, full-text search, 
   and predicates: `to:`, `from:`, `cc:`, `subject:`, `id:`.
 * Email detail modal with HTML preview, raw text, and JSON tabs.
 * Resend any logged email with editable recipient and subject.
 * Auto-forward copies of outgoing email via To, CC, or BCC.
 * CSV export with field selection, HTML stripping, and custom date format.
 * Auto-delete by age (days) or log rotation by count, run on WP Cron.
 * Open tracking via 1×1 pixel with open count, timestamp, and user agent.
 * Statistics page: summary cards, daily volume chart, top recipients.
 * SMTP failure capture via `wp_mail_failed` with stored error message.
 * Webhook notifications on failure or for all emails.
 * Dashboard widget with today, this week, this month, and failure counts.
 * GDPR personal data exporter and eraser.
 * REST API under `ultimate-email-logger/v1`.
 * Custom capability `manage_email_logs` for role-based access.
 * Multisite compatible with per-site tables.
 * BuddyPress email logging.
 * Translation ready with `.pot` file.

### Performance

Indexed columns and FULLTEXT indexes on subject and body keep search fast. Cleanup
runs on WP Cron. Webhooks are non-blocking. Logging adds one indexed insert per 
email.

## Installation

    to `/wp-content/plugins/`.

 3. Open **Email Logger** in the admin sidebar.

Logging starts immediately. No configuration required. Open **Email Logger > Settings**

## FAQ

### Does it log all emails?

Yes. Every email sent via `wp_mail()` is logged, including WooCommerce, contact 
forms, and plugin notifications.

### Does it work with SMTP plugins?

Yes. SMTP plugins like WP Mail SMTP change delivery, not logging. Emails are captured
before delivery.

### Can I resend a failed email?

Yes. Click Resend on any log row. Edit the recipient or subject first if needed.

### Can I export logs?

Yes. Export to CSV with configurable fields, date format, and optional HTML stripping.

### Is it multisite compatible?

Yes. Each site has its own log table. Network activation is supported.

### How does open tracking work?

A 1×1 pixel is added to HTML emails. When the recipient loads images, the open is
logged with count, timestamp, and user agent.

### Is it GDPR compliant?

Yes. The plugin registers with the WordPress personal data exporter and eraser.

### Will it slow my site down?

No. Logging is a single indexed insert. Cleanup runs on cron. Webhooks are non-blocking.

### What happens on uninstall?

Data is kept by default. Enable “Remove all data on uninstall” in settings to drop
the table, options, cron events, and capabilities.

### Is it really free?

Yes. All features are included. No pro version, no add-ons.
