Since WordPress 5.2 there is a built-in feature that detects when a plugin or theme causes a fatal error on your site, and notifies you with an automated email. Sometimes the message lands in the wrong inbox, or with a sender name that does not match your brand.
With Custom Recovery Mode Email you can:
- Set one or more recipient addresses for the Recovery Mode email when a Fatal Error occurs.
- Customize the From name and email address used by WordPress system emails.
- Adjust the rate limit between Recovery Mode emails (in days, hours or minutes).
- Toggle individual administrative notifications: password changes, new user registrations, and plugin/theme auto-update results (success and failure separately).
- Configure everything network-wide on Multisite, with optional per-site overrides for the recipient and the sender.
The plugin ships with a redesigned settings page that organises every option into clear, focused cards, making it easy to find what you need at a glance.
