Plugins](https://github.com/salcode/stop-emails/wiki/Known-Incompatible-Plugins) and it does include WP Mail SMTP (but it does not have WooCommerce listed). * Based on this, I would guess WP Mail SMTP is the issue even though it is set to `PHP / Default (none)` but I’ve not tested this combination specifically so this is just a guess. * If you find out more, I’d love to know about it and perhaps add additional information to the Known Incompatible Plugins wiki page. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[WordPress Beta Tester] “Currently your

terms of user experience, listing the possible version and then updating to something that does not appear on the list is disconcerting. * I wonder if the message could be modified to avoid this. * i.e. instead of * > Currently your site is set to update to version 6.2.3, 6.3-RC1, or 6.3, whichever > is released first. * perhaps * > Currently your site is set to update to version 6.2.3, 6.3-RCx, or 6.3, whichever > is released first. * or * > Currently your site is set to update to version 6.2.3, 6.3-RC1, 6.3-RC2, etc. > or 6.3, whichever is released first. * or * > Currently your site is set to update to version 6.2.3, 6.3-RC1 (or higher) > or 6.3, whichever is released first. * I understand if this is a wontfix (and that might be my decision if this were my plugin 😀) but in case you want to try adding “(or higher)” I’ve opened a PR at [https://github.com/afragen/wordpress-beta-tester/pull/76](https://github.com/afragen/wordpress-beta-tester/pull/76) * Forum:

* [4 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/feature-request-add-disclaimer-to-notice-disable-smtp-plugins/#post-15139215) * Hi Chris, * Thank you for your thoughtful feedback and kind words. * I think you bring up some good points and I’ve opened an [issue about this on GitHub](https://github.com/salcode/stop-emails/issues/24)( where I track the development of this plugin). * It seems there is a balance here between presenting enough information, keeping the message easily digestible for those users who don’t have email plugin experience, and keeping the message brief. * I’ve started making some notes about how we might change the notice message in the GitHub issue. * Do you have any thoughts about the message text? * Thanks again for the feedback! * – Sal * Forum:

[@wprun](https://wordpress.org/support/users/wprun/), * When emails are logged, the PHP [error_log()](http://error_log) function is used. The location of the file used by `error_log()` is going to vary based on how your hosting company is configured. * You could try searching online for your hosting company name along with something like “php error log” or you could contact your hosting company directly and ask them “How do I view my PHP error log?” * Best of luck. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Stop Emails] List of incompatibilities](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/list-of-incompatibilities/) * Plugin Author [Sal Ferrarello](https://wordpress.org/support/users/salcode/) * (@salcode) * [5 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/list-of-incompatibilities/#post-14239297) * Hi [@jodzeee](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jodzeee/), * “Known Incompatible Plugins” now appears in the list of FAQs. * Thank you for this suggestion. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Stop Emails] List of incompatibilities](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/list-of-incompatibilities/) * Plugin Author [Sal Ferrarello](https://wordpress.org/support/users/salcode/) * (@salcode) * [5 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/list-of-incompatibilities/#post-13605514) * Hi [@jodzeee](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jodzeee/), * Thank you for this suggestion, making this information more visible to users is an excellent idea. * I’ve opened a GitHub issue to make this change ([https://github.com/salcode/stop-emails/issues/21](https://github.com/salcode/stop-emails/issues/21)) * Thank you. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Stop Emails] Deprecated message on WP 5.5](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/deprecated-message-on-wp-5-5/) * Plugin Author [Sal Ferrarello](https://wordpress.org/support/users/salcode/) * (@salcode) * [5 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/deprecated-message-on-wp-5-5/#post-13344457) * Thank you 😀 * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Stop Emails] Deprecated message on WP 5.5](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/deprecated-message-on-wp-5-5/) * Plugin Author [Sal Ferrarello](https://wordpress.org/support/users/salcode/) * (@salcode) * [5 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/deprecated-message-on-wp-5-5/#post-13328637) * I’ve just release version 1.2.1 of this plugin which eliminates the * > PHP Deprecated: class-phpmailer.php is deprecated since version 5.5.0! * message in the error log.

Unfortunately, I do still feel that adding this filter would not in the best interest of this project. * While I understand that if the filter were added you would be using it in a responsible manner, I am concerned about the problems it could easily cause when others use it less responsibly. * I suspect your best option is to hide the notice via CSS. If for some reason, that does not work you could modify the source code. Generally, updates for this project are rare and if an update did occur, the plugin would still function properly (but the notice would return). * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Stop Emails] Disable dashboard notification](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/disable-dashboard-notification/) * Plugin Author [Sal Ferrarello](https://wordpress.org/support/users/salcode/) * (@salcode) * [6 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/disable-dashboard-notification/#post-12044176) * Hi [@yonisink](https://wordpress.org/support/users/yonisink/), * Currently, there is no way to disable the “Emails Disabled” alert. * I’ve always thought of this as a plugin to be used during development or troubleshooting rather than a permanent solution. Stopping emails is a pretty drastic measure and has some pretty important implications (for example you can’t recover you password via email with emails turned off). * Because of all of this, I feel rather strongly about not providing a way to remove the “Emails Disabled” alert however I’m certainly open to hearing your thoughts on the topic. * Thanks. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Stop Emails] compatibility with WordPress v5.2.2 and PHP v7.3](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/compatibility-with-wordpress-v5-2-2-and-php-v7-3-19/) * Plugin Author [Sal Ferrarello](https://wordpress.org/support/users/salcode/) * (@salcode) * [6 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/compatibility-with-wordpress-v5-2-2-and-php-v7-3-19/#post-11829229) * Since there has been no further discussion and I hope it has been answered to your satisfaction, I’m going to close this issue.
