Stop email notifications for WordPress Theme and Plugin Updates.

With the WordPress 5.5 release, you may have experienced new random daily emails you may have received for every WordPress self-hosted theme and plugin update.

Here is how to stop email notifications for theme and plugin updates:

Copy the code below in your domain theme’s functions.php file… It will look something like this…

// Disable auto-update email notifications for plugins.
add_filter( 'auto_plugin_update_send_email', '__return_false' );

// Disable auto-update email notifications for themes.
add_filter( 'auto_theme_update_send_email', '__return_false' );

I hope this helps,

Thanks & Regards
