 * Hi [@darkpollo](https://wordpress.org/support/users/darkpollo/),
 * Unfortunately, this plugin does not support whitelisting emails.
 * This plugin works by replacing the mailer with a non-functional version during
   the website start up, kind of like replacing a mailbox with a trashcan. Since
   this replacement happens early in the page request, by the time emails are being
   sent the replacement has already occurred.
 * To get the behavior you are describing would require a different approach and
   in the interest of keeping this plugin simple, I do not plan to change the approach
   currently being used.
 * I hope you find a solution for your issue.

 * I just tested [WP Mail SMTP by WPForms](https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-mail-smtp/)
   and it is not compatible with this plugin.
 * I’ve added WP Mail SMTP by WPForms to the [list of incompatible plugins](https://github.com/salcode/stop-emails/wiki/Known-Incompatible-Plugins).

 * Disable Gutenberg v1.3.1 from your download link seems to have corrected the 
   problem.
 * **Recreating the Problem** (using Disable Gutenberg v1.3.0)
 * I’m using Local by Flywheel and below are my steps to recreate the problem on
   a fresh install.
 * Create Local by Flywheel new install
    disablegutenberg.test Preferred Setup (
   PHP 7.1.7, nginx + Varnish, MySQL 5.6) Not multisite
 * Log into website ([http://disablegutenberg.test/](http://disablegutenberg.test/)),
   which is running WordPress 4.9.8
 * Visit [http://disablegutenberg.test/hello-world/](http://disablegutenberg.test/hello-world/),
   the WP Admin Bar is displaying properly (with the “Edit Post” link)
 * Add new plugin via web interface ([http://disablegutenberg.test/wp-admin/plugin-install.php](http://disablegutenberg.test/wp-admin/plugin-install.php))(
   version 1.3)
    Install and activate “Disable Gutenberg”
 * Return to [http://disablegutenberg.test/hello-world/](http://disablegutenberg.test/hello-world/),
   the WP Admin Bar is missing the “Edit Post” link and this
    warning appears in
   the content.
 * (as noted above Disable Gutenberg v1.3.1 has corrected this issue)

 * I’ve got a local install with theme Twenty Sixteen and the only plugin active
   is Disable Gutenberg version 1.3.
 * With this setup the “Edit Post” link is missing from the black WP Admin Bar across
   the top of the screen.
 * Deactivating “Disable Gutenberg”, restores the “Edit Post” link.
 * I’m getting this warning in my error logs.

 * Hi [@darkpollo](https://wordpress.org/support/users/darkpollo/),
 * Thank you for your understanding and I appreciate your kind words in the review
   you left.
 * I do want to clarify, I don’t think the Sendgrid plugin is doing anything wrong.
   Unfortunately, the way they are modifying WordPress’s email sending for Sendgrid
   is incompatible with the way I’m modifying WordPress’s email sending to stop 
   the emails but I wouldn’t call their changes wrong.
 * I’m going to mark this topic as closed but please feel free to re-open it or 
   open another issue if you have further questions.
 * Thanks again and have a great day.

 * Hi [@darkpollo](https://wordpress.org/support/users/darkpollo/),
 * Thanks for this message. The Stop Emails plugin works by overriding the WordPress
   mail sending code. Other plugins, like SendGrid, also override the mail sending
   code but so they can send the message instead. Their overrides allow the messages
   to be sent through their service despite the presence of the Stop Emails plugin.
 * Based on your report, I’ve added **SendGrid** to the list of [Known Incompatible Plugins](https://github.com/salcode/stop-emails/wiki/Known-Incompatible-Plugins).
 * While I’ve considered adding specific code to target these incompatible plugins
   one-by-one, ultimately I’ve decided that would be a larger time investment than
   I can give to this plugin.
 * If you or someone else has an improved way to prevent emails from sending (without
   addressing each other plugin individually), I’d love to hear about it.
 * In summary, I like the idea of stopping emails for these incompatible plugins
   but I’m concerned trying to addressing them individually would turn into a never-
   ending game of Whac-a-mole.
 * I’m sorry I don’t have a more satisfying reply to your request.

 * Thank you for providing this plugin. While Gutenberg is undoubtably the future
   of WordPress, I do appreciate the ability to ease into the transition by using
   this plugin.
 * Above you mention,
 * > Was considering to change it to replace the editor by default, but for now 
   > this doesn’t make sense (the user can simply deactivate the Gutenberg plugin).
   > After the merge the default will probably be changed.
 * I’d like to suggest modifying this default to `replace` sooner rather than later.
   If someone installs this plugin now in preparation for the merge, their option
   will be set to `no-replace`.
 * Even if the default changes in the future, these legacy installs will still have
   a value of `no-replace`. (I’m assuming future updates will not modify the existing
   option).
 * Those who install the plugin later, will have the new default (`replace`).
 * Since the impact of this plugin is not visible until Gutenberg is merged (or 
   the Gutenberg plugin is activated), I suspect many of these sites will be unaware
   of their setting until the merge occurs.
 * The result will be that when Gutenberg is merged, the plugin behavior will vary
   based on when the plugin was first installed, which will be quite confusing.
 * Would you please change the default value to `replace` to help avoid this issue.
 * Thank you again for providing this plugin to our community.

 * Hi Kevin and Tracy 👋,
 * Upon checking today, I am no longer seeing the notice. For reference, I’m running
   on [Siteground’s GoGeek plan](https://www.siteground.com/web-hosting.htm), using
   their built-in caching but no additional caching plugin.
 * If I experience the problem again, I’ll try clearing the cache.
 * Thanks for a great plugin.

 * Hi queeneve,
 * Since the email delay seems to be unrelated to this plugin and there hasn’t been
   any recent activity on this thread, I’m going to mark this topic as resolved.
 * If anything occurs that seems to indicate this plugin is involved in the delay,
   we can certainly re-open this topic or create a new one.
 * I hope your new year is going well.
 * All the best.
