WordPress sends email notifications after core, plugin, and theme updates. If you manage updates yourself, you can disable these emails.
Steps
- Open your WordPress theme
functions.phpfile. - Add the code below at the end of the file.
- Save the file.
- Future update notification emails will stop.
Done — WordPress will no longer send automatic update emails.
⚠️ Only use this if you regularly monitor and maintain your website updates manually.
add_filter('auto_core_update_send_email', '__return_false');
add_filter('auto_plugin_update_send_email', '__return_false');
add_filter('auto_theme_update_send_email', '__return_false');
