  • 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!
