Turn off update email notifications?

Please don’t post in the Alpha/Beta forum unless you’re actually testing the alpha/beta version of WordPress (not a plugin or a theme). Also, once WordPress has released a version, it’s not appropriate to post in alpha/beta and you should post in the How To & Troublshooting forum:

Your email address is in the WordPress dashboard Users >> Your Profile >> Contact Info

where does that code go?

Place it on a fresh line in your child theme’s functions.php file (backup the original file first) before any closing ?> tag

is there not a toggle button hidden somewhere on the admin page?

Fraid not.

Thanks Barnez.

I’ve removed my email from everywhere in the admin dashboard.

Thanks for clarifying on the code placement.

So if I understand correctly, this will remove my email from receiving core update notifications?

What do I do if I want the person who manages the website to receive the core update email notifications?

This whole problem started because I don’t actually have my email anywhere on the website, which to me makes no sense why I would receive the email notifications in the first place. I feel like an idiot having to ask all this but can’t fathom why this functionality is so obfuscated.

You *must* have an email address in the user profile if you are the site administrator. If there is someone else managing your site as an administrator, and you are logged in at a lower user level, then maybe you can remove your email address from the profile, but be aware that if you ever run into problems logging in, then you will not be able to use the recover password option on the login page if your email is not linked the user account.

What do I do if I want the person who manages the website to receive the core update email notifications?

If you add that code to the functions.php file it will stop *all users* from receiving update messages, including the person you have managing your site. If you don’t add the code, but *do* use this person’s email address in the admin profile account, then this person will receive all WordPress-related notification. Note that this person will then be the acting administrator of the site, with the ability to create and delete all other users (i.e. you should have a high level of trust in him/her).

Thank you Barnez for all your help! You’ve resolved my issue.

You’re welcome, and I’m happy to hear things are resolved ??
