G’day SpartakusMd,

Thanks for this contribution, I’ve worked it into the next release. Could you please give the dev build a try and let me know if there are any issues?

You can see the changes [on GitHub](https://github.com/webaware/disable-emails/commits/recipients).

G’day davet354tfd,

It looks like you’ve resolved this problem; is that correct? When I visit your Membership page the link to the PDF is HTTPS and the PDF loads OK in the browser with no warnings.

G’day Markus,

This plugin doesn’t queue up any emails, it just pretends that they were sent so that the code sending the emails is happy and keeps moving along. Nothing is stored. This plugin uses a mock implementation of PHPMailer that replaces the email send function with a stub that does nothing.

I do recommend that you install an email logger, to see what would have been sent — I do that on all my development and test websites.

If you install a plugin that ensures email delivery, however, like an SMTP plugin, you might end up sending emails. I recommend that you don’t do that on a development website 🙂

cheers,
Ross

G’day Errabundus,

This question is answered in brief on this page:

https://ssl.webaware.net.au/home/deactivate/

The main thing to watch our for is whether you’ve changed the HTTPS Detection settings. If you have, don’t just deactivate the plugin — you could be locked out of the admin. If you have it set for HTTP_X_FORWARDED_PROTO then you can add this to your wp-config.php file first, then safely deactivate:

if (isset($_SERVER['HTTP_X_FORWARDED_PROTO']) && strtolower($_SERVER['HTTP_X_FORWARDED_PROTO']) === 'https') {
     $_SERVER['HTTPS'] = 'on';
}

cheers,
Ross

G’day sepicompanywork,

It doesn’t send any emails, so… it’s faster 🙂

It doesn’t do anything to slow down WordPress, so the big difference you will see is no emails. Speed is not an issue here, emails are the problem and this plugin stops them being sent by the normal WordPress functions.

cheers,
Ross

G’day astromannz,

When you login to your MyEway console, navigate to Pre-Auth transactions:

Payments > Pre-Auth Payments > View Transactions

From there, find the transaction and select Complete Transaction from its Actions drop-down list. You will be taken to another screen where you can change the amount if necessary (i.e. smaller!), and press Process Transaction to complete.

cheers,
Ross

G’day pmccoy833,

Odd way to request support, but OK.

This plugin does not change anything permanently on your website, so I suspect you needed to change HTTPS detection on your site, and then changed your site’s URLs to HTTPS in settings. If that’s the case, try adding this to your wp-config.php file somewhere near the top:

if (isset($_SERVER['HTTP_X_FORWARDED_PROTO']) && $_SERVER['HTTP_X_FORWARDED_PROTO'] === 'https') {
	$_SERVER['HTTPS'] = 'on';
}

cheers,
Ross

G’day art137,

A 403 means no permission. The most likely cause here is that you have uploaded the .zip file for those two as an attachment for the EDD Downloads, and EDD has put them inside its protected folder.

Delete those .zip file, and add them directly to the Media Library or an external file source, then copy the link to each .zip file and add as the link for that EDD Download. They should then be accessible without EDD’s file protection.

cheers,
Ross
