Homepage | Documentation | Support

This plugin will completely disables the Plugins, Themes, and WordPress core update notifications displayed by WordPress based on your plugin settings. Apart from this it will also disable auto-update Email Notifications.

🎉 Disable auto-update Email Notifications

Since WordPress 5.5 version, if you have enabled plugin and theme auto-update you will receive an automated email notifications when any plugin or theme auto-update is successful or failed.

If you manage a dozen of websites, then the you will receive the constant stream of auto-update notifications emails and may be it annoying you.

I have added a new feature to cure the problem by automatically Disable auto-update Email Notifications for plugins and themes auto-update email notifications.

👉 Most importantly, This plugin is free and always will be free.

  1. Unzip the ZIP file and drop the folder straight into your ‘wp-content/plugins/’ directory.
  2. Activate the plugin through the wordpress admin >> ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress.
  3. For plugin configurations go to settings >> Disable Notification Settings
  4. Save settings. It’s done.

Blocked User Notifications Too

By tansandals on November 19, 2024

I mean, yes it disables annoying notifications. The problems is it blocked all my new user notifications as well, so that when I added a new user, they never received the email. Couldn't find any settings to address this.

I think your descriptions are wrong

By shoulders1024 on October 17, 2024

From what I can tell your plugin does the following

  • disables plugin updates
  • disables theme updates
  • disables wordpress core updates
  • disables update notifications.

Because you are disabling the updates the descriptions should be

  • Disable all plugin updates.
  • Disable all theme updates
  • Disable all WordPress core updates
  • Disable plugins & themes auto-update email notifications.

The description should read

This plugin will completely disable the Plugin, Theme, and WordPress core update notifications. It will also disable auto-update Email Notifications for Plugins, Themes and WP CORE.

Good plugin

Lethal flaw since last update

By himalayande on June 18, 2024

It worked great - until the last (auto-) update. Immediately the option to auto-update ALL of my plugins (including woocommerce and 23 others) disappeared and the wordpress auto update function itself was disabled. This sent me on a wild goose chase for half a day until I could locate your plugin as the cause.

Great

Thanks!

This plugin offers a straightforward solution to disable bothersome WordPress update notifications and auto-update email notifications. With its user-friendly interface, it eliminates the need for manual code modifications, saving you time and relieving the annoyance caused by these constant updates and notifications.

I love this plugin!

By JHouse on January 19, 2023

This plugin works as described, and even better, it's right to the point. No shenanigans whatsoever.

Other plugin developers can learn from this one, albeit a simple plugin...which what most of us want. Again, it's to the point and without being obtrusive. Works like a champ!

Thank you!!!
