How to stop receiving automatic update email notifications

Hi @marcovee ??

While notifications of automatic updates can provide a nudge to confirm your site is still functioning well after an update, getting too many of them can certainly be annoying.

Disabling auto-update notifications can be done via a small tweak to your site’s code or through installing a plugin that handles that tweak.

The easiest option is definitely using a plugin. There are several plugins available in the WordPress plugin directory that aim to solve this issue.

To disable the notifications via manual code changes, you’d need to add the following filters which return false to your theme’s functions.php file or your own plugin:

// Disable core update emails
add_filter( 'auto_core_update_send_email', '__return_false' );

// Disable plugin update emails
add_filter( 'auto_plugin_update_send_email', '__return_false' );

// Disable theme update emails
add_filter( 'auto_theme_update_send_email', '__return_false' );

I hope that helps!

THANK YOU!!

Hi @james202301

I’d recommend using a plugin to turn off the automatic update email notifications. You can find one in the WordPress plugin directory here.

My earlier reply in this thread contains more detailed information and an alternative option.

There are also a number of guides out there that can help walk you through the process and options. This page of Google search results should help you find one you are comfortable with.
