Do you want to disable the automatic updating of email notifications in WordPress? By default, WordPress sends an email notification to let you know that your WordPress site is updated after security updates. Recently one of our readers asked if there is an easy way to disable that. In this article, we will show you how to easily disable auto update email notification in WordPress.
