Disable Theme and Plugin Auto-Update Emails

விளக்கம்

Disables the default notification emails sent by a site after an automatic theme and/or plugin update. Simply activate the plugin to disable these email notifications (allows failure notices through unless setting is enabled to disable these as well).

This is a simple & lightweight plugin that simply uses the official filters made available as of WordPress 5.5 to disable these email notifications upon activation. It does let update failure notifications through by default, but the Settings => General page has a setting to disable these as well.

Screenshots

  • The Settings => General setting for also disabling failed update email notifications (successful updates are disabled simply by having the plugin active on the site.)

அடிக்கடி கேட்கப்படும் கேள்விகள்

What else needs to be done? Is there a settings screen to enable/configure it?

You can simply enable this to disable these notifications. Deactivating the plugin then has it resume default behavior. A simple implementation that’s quick & easy to utilize. Consider enabling/disabling the plugin the setting for whether or not these email notifications are disabled or not.

Also, this does let notifications about failed updates to be delivered by default as they can be important. There is a “Disable failed update email notifications” setting on Settings => General to disable update failure notifications as well, if/when there’s a need for it.

What about update failure notifications?

By default, notifications about failed updates will still be delivered, but there is a “Disable failed update email notifications” setting on Settings => General to disable update failure notifications as well, if/when there’s a need for it.

Looking for WordPress core version update email notifications instead/as well?

Try out Disable WordPress Core Update Email (or similar) as that tackles that separate group of emails in this same lightweight fashion (use official WordPress filters to simply disable the email[s] as described.) These two plugins can work together to remove all these notifications (hence why this doesn’t also remove core update notifications). Meanwhile, one can use one or the other if a specific set of emails is desired to be blocked (ex. I personally like the core update notifications since they’re not too frequent while potentially being substantial so I keep those enabled while I then just use this plugin to disable the more frequent & typically less impactful plugin and theme update notifications.)

Install and activate. Easy. Get’s done what should be an option in core. No more “Some plugins have automatically updated” emails for all your sites. Great to unclutter my inbox. Thanks!

Amazing WP doesn’t have this option as standard. This plugin provides a fantastic solution to those annoying email notifications that often confuse and worry clients.
