Disable the email notifications for Weekly jQuery Migrate Status Update

Hiya,

I totally understand your frustration, but there are no plans to add any such option to the plugin, as the notification element is an important part of the plugins feature set.

Although you may find them unnecessary, they serve both as a reminder to site owners, but also as a nudge to make sure developers sort out compatibility issues, as they surface problematic plugins or themes to the end user, who may not be technically experienced enough to discover them on their own, so that they may reach out to authors and nudge them as well.

I understand your reasons for not wanting to implement a “simple” option to disable the emails, but you should also realize that not everyone wants them. You can describe your intended use-case of the plugin, but that doesn’t fully align with how it’s used by larger agencies or folks with multiple client websites.

We don’t need a weekly reminder about all the issues with our 100s of sites. Other tickets here are also wishing for the ability to disable it. I’m not saying you need to remove email notifications entirely, but a simple checkbox would be nice to have somewhere. E.g., [×] Disable email notifications or even an area to specify an email to send them to other than the Admin email.

I would assume that the bulk of folks who use this plugin are aware that they should fix their sites sooner than later, but that’s not always viable when a client isn’t willing to pay for that update, or when it just takes multiple weeks to comb through the issues through 100s of sites, or when we’re actually waiting on plugin developers and theme authors to update the plugins causing the issues in the first place.

We don’t always need a weekly summary of the same websites with the same issues.

@clorith – you can run this snippet to stop these emails from being sent out.

add_action('init', function() {
	$timestamp = wp_next_scheduled( 'enable_jquery_migrate_helper_notification' );
	wp_unschedule_event($timestamp, 'enable_jquery_migrate_helper_notification');
}, 100); 

For whatever reason, here in the last week or two I’m getting HUNDREDS of emails a day now, instead of a weekly update email.

The snippet did not work for me. ANY other suggestions? This is bogging down the email flow.
