YellowLab Stop Core Emails adds a focused settings page under Settings > Stop Core Emails, where administrators can disable selected native WordPress email notifications.
You can manage email notifications for:
<ul>
<li>automatic plugin updates</li>
<li>automatic theme updates</li>
<li>automatic WordPress core updates</li>
<li>available core update notices</li>
<li>new user notifications sent to administrators</li>
<li>user password changes</li>
<li>password change notices sent to administrators</li>
<li>user email address changes</li>
<li>site administrator email address changes</li>
<li>new comments</li>
<li>comments waiting for moderation</li>
<li>critical error and recovery mode messages</li>
</ul>
The plugin does not block updates, user actions, comments, or recovery features. It only disables the selected email notifications.
After activation, open Settings > Stop Core Emails or use the Settings link on the Plugins screen.

Advanced Automatic Updates adds extra options to WordPress’ built-in Automatic Updates feature. On top of security updates, it also supports installing major releases, plugins, themes, or even regular SVN checkouts!
If you’re working on a WordPress Multisite install, it will properly restrict the options page to your Network Admin.
While this will be useful for the vast majority of sites, please exercise caution, particularly if you have any custom themes or plugins running on your site.
