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.
