 * Hi,
 * I have a website, ranchoalegrefarm.com. I have the admin email as my email instead
   of my boss’s email address, but the update notifications are still going to her
   email. Not sure why. Any ideas? Thank you.
 * Best Regards,
 * Kelly
 * P.S. In a perfect scenario I would like to turn off the emails that say that 
   WordPress has updated altogether, but the forum threads I have gone through say
   such a feature does not exist.

 * Check the WordPress Codex on how to [Disable Emails Via Filter](http://codex.wordpress.org/Configuring_Automatic_Background_Updates#Disable_Emails_via_Filter).
 * Disable email update notifications:
 *     ```
       // Disable update emails
       add_filter( 'auto_core_update_send_email', '__return_false' );
       ```
   
 * As far as where the email is sent… it should be the email address under Settings-
   > General -> Email Address.

 * Thank you for responding Josh. Should I copy paste the code you provided on the
   bottom of my wp-config.php file?

 * No. It should be placed in your [child theme](https://codex.wordpress.org/Child_Themes)
   functions.php file.
