Configuration

By default, email alerts are sent only when admin-level users log in to your site. To include additional user levels/roles, check out the plugin setting, “User Roles”.

By default, email alerts are sent only to the Administration Email Address (as specified in the WP General settings). To disable sending of alerts to this address, visit the plugin setting, “Default Address”. Important: if you disable sending to the default address, make sure that at least one email address is entered in the setting, “Extra Email”. Otherwise, no email alerts will be sent!

To disable alerts for any user, visit the plugin setting, “Exclude Users”. There you can enter any user IDs that should NOT receive email alerts. Separate multiple user IDs with commas.

To send email alerts to additional email addresses, visit the plugin setting, “Extra Emails”. Separate multiple email addresses with commas.

To disable email alerts for any specific IP address(es), visit the plugin setting, “Exclude IPs”. More information on this below.

Exclude IP address

If you want to exclude an IP address from email alerts, visit the plugin settings > “Exclude IPs”. So if you don’t want to get an email every time you log in, add your IP address to this setting. You can use a free online tool to get your current IP address. If you are unsure, leave this setting blank.

To add an IP address to the “Exclude IPs” setting, you can use any of the following notations:

• Individual IP address, like 93.184.216.34
• Sequential range of IP addresses, like 93.184.
• CIDR range of IP addresses, like 93.184.216.34/24

Important: Separate multiple IP/strings with commas.
