If you have a large number of blog administrators – or at least more than one – WordPress doesn’t allow each user to manage whether or not they wish to receive email notification of comments in moderation.
So all this plugin does is take the function that is written to send out those notifications, and filter out the blog’s main administrator email address before sending.
If you want to add a different email to the filter, it’s not that hard but it’s not yet written in natively.
Why would you ever use this? I wrote this for the NY Times Regional Media group because we have what seems like thousands of blogs and we’re the admin for each and every one. There are admins at the newspapers that do need the notifications, however, so I wrote this in order to stop the flow of emails (appx 300 per day!) coming to just our admin address.

No Comment

No Comment is a simple way to remove email notification for just one person out of your list of blog administrators.

Activate this plugin to send an email when any admin-level user logs in to your site. This is useful for keeping an eye on any unauthorized administrator logins. Each email alert includes the user name, IP address, user agent, and other details. Just in case you need to do some forensic investigation.

Why is this useful?
I use this plugin to keep an eye on any unauthorized login attempts. Probably a bit paranoid but I don’t care, paranoid works well for me.
How is this plugin different?
While researching for this plugin, I found four other “admin login notification” type plugins:
<ul>
<li><a href="https://wordpress.org/plugins/email-notification-on-login/" rel="ugc">Email Notification on Login</a></li>
<li><a href="https://wordpress.org/plugins/email-notification-on-admin-login/" rel="ugc">Email notification on admin login</a></li>
<li><a href="https://wordpress.org/plugins/kaya-login-notification/" rel="ugc">Kaya Login Notification</a></li>
<li><a href="https://wordpress.org/plugins/kolorweb-access-admin-notification/" rel="ugc">KolorWeb Access Admin Notification</a></li>
</ul>
Unfortunately none of these plugins suited my specific needs:
<ul>
<li>Lightweight, clean and simple</li>
<li>Current with latest WordPress</li>
<li>No requirement for PHP sessions</li>
</ul>
So I decided to build my own. Let me emphasize the utter simplicity of this plugin. It does one thing and does it well: sends an email whenever an admin-level user logs in to WordPress. No bells and whistles, no bloat. If you need more functionality, check out the above plugins should get you there.
Privacy
This plugin does not collect or store any user data. It does not set any cookies, and it does not connect to any third-party locations. The only thing this plugin does is send an email for each admin-level login. Each email includes information about the user, such as username, IP address, user agent, and other details.
