 * Hi,
 * I saw related topics about my issue:
    - [https://wordpress.org/support/topic/how-to-disable-plugin-update-alert-emails/](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/how-to-disable-plugin-update-alert-emails/)
    - [https://wordpress.org/support/topic/prevent-plugin-upgrade-notifications/](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/prevent-plugin-upgrade-notifications/)
 * But I want to keep the severity level in Medium, as Medium level also include
   these alerts:
    - Your site is running an unknown core version of WordPress
    - Your site is running an older version of PHP (5.4 or below) that is incompatible
      with Wordfence country blocking
    - An abandoned plugin is installed
 * Maybe a filter or constant to use to filter the severity levels, what to include
   or exclude? I really want to disable plugin and theme update notifications, but
   keep all other notification options as is.
 * Please consider to add this option as a checkbox or as a filter! Thank you!

 * We have had that as a feature request before.
 * All feature requests are discussed by the team and given careful consideration
   so you may possibly see this in a future version of Wordfence. If we do decide
   to add this as a feature then there won’t be a timescale for when this will be.
