Disable WordPress Update Emails – How To Disable Plugin Update Notification in WordPress

In this video I’m going to show you how to stop WordPress from sending you annoying update notification emails. I’m going to show you two ways to do it: one is with a free plugin and another is with a free piece of code.

I recommend that you put the code into the functions.php file of a child theme on your site. That way, when the parent theme is updated, the code won’t be overwritten.

Here is the code used in this tutorial:

function wpllDontSendNotificationEmails( $send, $type, $core_update, $result ) {
if ( ! empty( $type ) && $type == ‘success’ ) {
return false;
}
return true;
}

add_filter( ‘auto_core_update_send_email’, ‘wpllDontSendNotificationEmails’, 10, 4 );
add_filter( ‘auto_theme_update_send_email’, ‘wpllDontSendNotificationEmails’, 10, 4 );
add_filter( ‘auto_plugin_update_send_email’, ‘wpllDontSendNotificationEmails’, 10, 4 );

Always backup your site just in case (or use a staging site), here’s how: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D1aYbayFpfU&list=PLlgSvQqMfii4l2cVV1TZ7j_kHs_2qmf4b
