Hi @hellostudioelin
I hope you’re well today!
This is rather unexpected and certainly not designed behavior. If the plugin was removed it shouldn’t be happening at all as there’d be no code on site that could possibly send those e-mails.
So to make sure: was the plugin entirely deleted or only deactivated?
If it was only deactivated but not physically deleted, please do as follows:
– activate it again
– go to “Settings -> Link Checker -> General” page
– make sure that both checkboxes for “E-mail notifications” option are disabled (unchecked)
– save settings
– then deactivate plugin and delete it.
If it was physically deleted and the e-mails are still coming it would be only possible if for some reason cron tasks were not removed/updated and there is some of plugins code “stuck” in some kind of OPCache server-leve.
In that case, do this:
– install free WP Crontrol plugin: https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/wp-crontrol/
– activate it and go to “Tools -> Cron Events” page
– in search box there type “blc” and press “Search Hook Names” button
Then see if there are any results returned starting with “blc_cron_”.
If yes, just delete them. After that clear all cache on site/sever and disable and remove WP Crontrol plugin.
Kind regards,
Adam
