thanks a lot

Really useful plugin
by TomCobbley·1 year ago

This is a really useful plugin for disabling those annoying ‘plugin x has just automatically updated’ emails.

Suggestion for author – the plugin isn’t easy to find in WordPress’s plugin search for terms like ’email notifications’. This is because you spell email as e-mail. This might be the technically correct spelling, but it’s not helping people find your plugin. I would consider changing the spelling.

This plugin has made life easier.

Thanks for its development.

Prevents password changes
by lookwhoo·2 years ago·1 reply

This plugin no longer works and seems to have been abandoned. Within the past half year, users were complaining they weren’t receiving the password reset emails. Sure enough, we found it was this plugin preventing password reset emails from going out. Disabled it and all is working as should now.
