Overview

There’s not much to this plugin. It’s a couple barebones filters that turn off the plugin and theme autoupdate emails.

On WordPress 5.5.0, plugin/theme autoupdate emails are turned off regardless of whether or not they failed.

Since WordPress 5.5.1, emails indicating update failures are allowed through.

Excellent to get rid of annoying daily spam emails from WordPress

Nice plugin, shame it doesnt just turn the entire concept off
by niallflynn·5 years ago

This is a bad mistake. Anyone who knows WP updates knows they cannot auto run via some community supported plugin. There are hosts offering this with a good setup. This plugin removes one part of this the emails, which is great. But if it could also turn this off entirely it would be just perfect.
