Why am I getting daily emails from WangGuard now?

Since Feb 28th I’ve been getting daily emails from WangGuard. I never used to get these. I don’t really want them, but can’t see any settings in WangGuard to stop them. They are particularly not needed because they keep mentioning the same user in every email (I changed his name to ‘John Doe’ to protect his anonymity).

Here they are:

Hi @oldmankid,

This emails is the result of the daily WangGurd Cron. I suppose that you selected check the users registered in the las week (for example).

In the next version, I will add the ability to deactivate this emails.

Kind regards

Thanks for the reply. So there’s no way to turn this off now.

Do you know why I only just started getting these emails? I’ve been using WangGuard for months, and never got them before.

Hi oldmankit,

Tis emails started to arrive when you activated the WangGuard cron. If you activated the WangGuard cron many month ago, and that emails were not arriving, maybe a spam system were stopping it. The emails are sent by your WordPress, not by us.

Kind regards

Well as far as I can see, I didn’t change anything at all. I set-up cron through cPanel a long time ago. And nothing in any spam folders.

Ah well, I’ll look forward to the next version when I can turn them off. I’d really only like to get an email when a user is marked as a splogger, so I can review it. I don’t really need to know that users are not sploggers.

Thanks for taking the time to explain it.

If you want, you can disable email by the code.

Go here > https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/browser/wangguard/tags/1.6.2/wangguard-admin.php#L1655

And change this line:

@wp_mail($admin_email, $subject, $message, $message_headers);

to this

\\ @wp_mail($admin_email, $subject, $message, $message_headers);

That will disable the emails.

Kind regards
