Activity emails: how to turn off programatically?

    I manage upwards of 150 websites. With the new addition of Wordfence activity emails — and the fact that they’re enabled by default — I’m getting upwards of 150 extra emails a week that I don’t need. What’s the quick and easy way to disable this via PHP? I use ManageWP so with a line of code (e.g. via the update_option function) I could turn this off on all websites at once. Otherwise, I’m going to have to go into every website to disable them manually. Of course I could setup an email filter, but I’d rather just disable them. Thanks.

    Is there a patch or even better, an actual fix for this

    I was here to post a complaint about this. It’s a wonderful feature however I feel it’s abusive to have it automatically enabled, along with displaying in the report widget in the dashboard. I use InfiniteWP to manage only about 50 sites but I’m not happy about the flood of emails or about having to go in and manually disable these “features” on 50+ sites.

    I hope there’ll be a patch or fix for this! Thanks.

    You can turn off the notifications by going to Wordfence > Options. Scroll the page past “Advanced Options” and there is a section titled “Email Summary”. Uncheck the “Enable email summary” box, and that should disable them.

    I saw on another post that WF will be putting out a patch in the next day or so.

    Tim — thanks for the info. However I don’t see that this has been resolved. I updated to 5.3.12 and the “Enable email summary” box is still checked.
