On the Email Log page, you will be able to see an option called Enable Log. From this point forward, this will keep a record of every email sent out from your WordPress website.
You will now be able to see details for each WordPress email record including:
- Email Status (Lets you know if it was sent successfully)
- Date and Time Sent
- Subject Line
- Recipient Email Address(es) (including CC and BCC)
- From Email
- Number of Attachments (If this applies)
- Mailer Options Used
- Additional Technical Details (such as content-type, MIME, etc.)
Great work – now go ahead and click the box next to Enable Log. In doing so, you will see a second option appear underneath called Log Email Content. This field is optional and isn’t required.
What does it do? It will store all of the content of the emails sent from your site. You’ll be able to find it in the email record along with the other details.
It’s completely up to you if you want to enable Log Email Content, and once you have decided, click on the Save Settings button to enable WordPress email logging.
