Repository metrics are context, not quality scores. Active installations measure adoption and can strongly reflect a plugin’s age and historical popularity. Ratings, recent updates and “Tested up to” metadata also do not guarantee modern code, error-free operation, security, feature completeness or suitability for a particular site.

Overview

About this plugin

This plugin has multiple utilities to enhance your WordPress experience.

Disable Notifications:

The plugin lets you turn off specific WordPress email notifications without touching code Notifications are grouped by platform in tabs, making it easy to find and disable exactly what you don’t need.

WordPress

  • Password reset – disables the admin notification when a user resets their password
  • Plugin auto updated – disables the email sent after automatic plugin updates

WooCommerce

  • Password reset – disables the admin notification when a user resets their password

General

Under the General tab you can activate the following utilities:

  • Set a fixed sender/bounce e-mail address (envelope-from) for all outgoing transactional e-mail. This overrides the server’s default fallback address, which is useful when sending mail from a domain that differs from the server’s own domain. This could be needed for dedicated hosting services from companies such as Rootnet and Hostnet.

Security

Under the Security tab you can activate the following utilities:

  • Disable WordPress XMLRPC. This disables the XMLRPC endpoint, which is often used for brute-force attacks and is not needed for most WordPress sites.
  • Hide public available WordPress usernames. This prevents the author archive pages from being publicly accessible, which can help reduce spam and brute-force attacks.

  • bc_disable_notifications_wordpress_notifications – add notifications to the WordPress tab
  • bc_disable_notifications_woocommerce_notifications – add notifications to the WooCommerce tab
  • bc_disable_notifications_security_notifications – add utilities to the Security tab
