Know Every Email
Your WordPress Site
Sends. Or Fails to Send.
Email Log Guru captures, logs, and tracks every outgoing email from your WordPress site — delivery status, open rates, click tracking, failure alerts, and a complete analytics dashboard — all without touching your SMTP setup.
Built for WordPress Teams Who Take Email Seriously
Every tool a developer, site owner, or agency needs to monitor, debug, and control WordPress email delivery — in a single lightweight plugin.
Complete Email Logging
Intercepts every wp_mail() call and captures the full payload — HTML body, plain text, headers, CC, BCC, Reply-To, attachments, sender, and all recipients. Not a single message escapes.
Open & Click Tracking
Injects a secure HMAC-signed 1×1 pixel into HTML emails and wraps every link with a click tracker. See exactly who opened each message and which links they clicked.
Analytics Dashboard
Today, 7-day, and 30-day stats for sent, failed, resent, opens, and clicks — with open rate, click rate, and failure rate computed automatically. Know your numbers at a glance.
One-Click Resend
Resend any logged email directly from the admin panel without re-triggering the originating flow. Every resend is logged so you always have a complete audit trail.
Instant Failure Alerts
Get notified by email the moment delivery fails. Configure a failure threshold and time window to prevent alert fatigue — the plugin de-duplicates intelligently.
Webhook on Failure
Fire an HMAC-SHA256-signed webhook to any endpoint when email delivery fails — integrate with Slack, PagerDuty, Zapier, or any monitoring pipeline you already use.
Email Forwarding
Automatically forward every outgoing email to additional To, CC, or BCC addresses. Perfect for staging audits, compliance requirements, or team monitoring setups.
Source Plugin Detection
Traces the exact WordPress plugin and hook that triggered each email using PHP backtrace. Immediately identify whether WooCommerce, CF7, or any other plugin is the sender.
Daily Digest
An automated daily summary email lands in your inbox at 08:00 every morning — yesterday's sent, failed, opens, and clicks — so you stay informed without logging in.
Role-Based Access Control
Assign log viewing rights to specific WordPress roles via the custom welg_view_logs capability. Destructive actions like bulk delete remain gated behind manage_options.
Smart Retention & Auto-Purge
Configure a day-based retention period and a maximum entry count. A daily cron job keeps your database trim without manual intervention — and notifies you if it grows too large.
Granular Exclusion Filters
Skip logging specific recipients, subject keywords, or entire source plugins. Reduce noise and store only the emails that matter to your workflow.
Every Email, Completely Captured — Not Just the Subject Line
Most logging plugins only record the subject and recipient. Email Log Guru captures the entire message so you can debug delivery failures, replay lost emails, and maintain a full audit trail without touching your SMTP configuration.
