Beskrivning
Resend for WordPress routes your site’s transactional and marketing emails through the Resend API, replacing the default WordPress mail delivery method.
Key Features:
- Simple Setup – Connect your Resend account with just an API key
- Email Delivery – Routes outgoing WordPress emails through Resend’s infrastructure
- Transactional Emails – Perfect for password resets, notifications, confirmations, and more
- Easy Configuration – Set sender name and email directly from WordPress settings
- Test Emails – Send test emails to verify your setup works correctly
How it works:
The Resend plugin overrides WordPress’ native wp_mail() function and routes all emails through the Resend API. This means any email sent by WordPress (password resets, notifications, contact forms, etc.) will be sent through Resend instead of your server’s default mail handling.
Getting Started:
- Create a free account at Resend.com
- Generate an API key in your Resend dashboard
- Install and activate the Resend WordPress plugin
- Paste your API key into the plugin settings
- Configure your sender name and email address
- Test with our built-in test email feature
Requirements:
- WordPress 5.8 or higher
- PHP 7.2 or higher
- A Resend account (free tier available)

External services
This plugin requires a Resend account and relies on the Resend API (a third-party transactional email service) to deliver emails.
This plugin replaces WordPress’s wp_mail() function. Every email your site sends (password resets, notifications, contact form submissions, and any other message triggered through wp_mail()) is transmitted to the Resend API instead of being sent directly by your server. Each time an email is sent, the plugin sends the following to Resend: the recipient address(es), sender name and email address, subject, message body (HTML or plain text), and any file attachments.
This service is provided by Resend: Terms of Service, Privacy Policy.

Vanliga frågor
-
Do I need a Resend account?
-
Yes, you will need a Resend account to use this plugin. You can create a free account at Resend.com.
-
What emails will be sent through Resend?
-
All emails sent using WordPress’s
wp_mail()function will be sent through Resend. This includes password resets, user notifications, contact form submissions, and any other email sent by WordPress or plugins using the standardwp_mail()function. -
Will my existing email settings still work?
-
The Resend plugin overrides the default WordPress email sending mechanism. Make sure you configure the plugin correctly before activating it.
-
Can I test if it’s working?
-
Yes! The plugin includes a built-in test email feature. Go to Settings Resend and click the ”Send Test Email” button.
-
What if another plugin is blocking emails?
-
The plugin will notify you if another plugin or custom code is interfering. The plugin shows an admin notice if
wp_mailis already defined by another plugin. -
Is my API key secure?
-
Your API key is stored in the WordPress database options table. We recommend using a strong database password and keeping WordPress updated. Never share your API key with anyone.
-
Can I use this on multisite?
-
The plugin works with WordPress multisite, but each site will need its own Resend API key.
-
What happens to my emails if I deactivate the plugin?
-
When you deactivate the plugin, WordPress will revert to its default email sending behavior. Any emails queued in Resend will still be sent normally.
-
What happens to my data if I delete the plugin?
-
When you delete the plugin from the Plugins page, your Resend settings (API key, sender name, sender email) are removed from the database. Simply deactivating the plugin does not remove this data.
-
Does this support attachments?
-
Yes, if the Resend API supports it. The plugin uses the standard
wp_mail()function which supports attachments. -
Can I customize the sender email or name?
-
Yes! You can set a custom sender email and name in the plugin settings page.
