Hey @becki
We have a filter for controlling it. This example will set it to run at 08:30.
add_filter( 'mainwp_updatescheck_sendmail_at_time', static function () {
return '08:30';
} );
You can use the MainWP Custom Dashboard Extension to apply this filter.
Hi @bojankatusic
thanks a lot for your reply and pointing me to the proper filter.
Just added the code snippet to my child theme functions.php
will let you know if it works in a day or two.

Hello @bojankatusic
I had to re-open this support ticket. added the filter to my child theme functions.php
add_filter( 'mainwp_updatescheck_sendmail_at_time', static function () {
return '06:30';
} );
But do receive the daily digest email each day at 17.30
‘General Settings’ Daily Sync Time is set to 06.00
Frequency of auto sync is once per day
Use WP Cron is disabled
But I got a cronjob running each hour: /plugins/mainwp/cron/updatescheck.php
Cron schedules in mainwp info
Check for available updates
mainwp_cronupdatescheck_action
Once per day
March 31, 2026 07:30
March 31, 2026 09:30
what else do I need to do to get the daily digest email getting send in the morning at 06.30
thanks a lot
& please keep up the good work you’re doing!
with best regards

Hey @bojankatusic
thanks again for your reply.
With the help of ChatGPT AI and analyzing the filter and code base in class-mainwp-system-cron-jobs.php I managed to get things working and the daily digest email now gets send out at 07.00 am.
I had mainly to do with the frequency of the cronjob /mainwp/cron/updatescheck.php
Setting the daily sync time in mainwp settings and resetting some mainwp data values in wp_options database table.
It took MainWP a day or two to get in sync but now the daily digest email is being send in the morning. Hooray 🙂
thanks for your help
& please keep up the good work you’re doing
Best regards
Becki
