PLUGIN INFORMATION
What the plugin does
Plugin capabilities
- Detects staging, local, and cloned environments by comparing site addresses against a stored production URL and reading environment signals like WP_ENVIRONMENT_TYPE or specific host domain patterns.
- Blocks outgoing emails on detected copies, covering WordPress core, SMTP plugins (e.g., WP Mail SMTP, FluentSMTP), and direct API calls to email services (e.g., SendGrid, Mailgun, Amazon SES).
- Prevents search engine indexing on copies by applying noindex tags, X-Robots-Tag headers, closing robots.txt, and disabling sitemaps.
- Mitigates accidental financial transactions by switching WooCommerce Subscriptions to manual renewals and hiding live payment methods in test environments.
- Provides visual cues to distinguish copies from production sites, such as changing the admin bar color, adding '[COPY]' to browser tabs, and displaying 'test copy' banners on checkout pages.
- Includes a self-test diagnostic tool that verifies email blocking, indexing prevention, and other protections without sending real data or contacting external services.
TRANSLATION BOUNDARY
Staging Shield capabilities and translatable content are documented separately.
Official documentation describes the plugin functionality, but does not currently identify specific text shown to visitors that can be translated.
A feature is not considered translatable unless it includes text that users can read.
