 * Hello. Though belatedly I wish a great Year for everybody.
 * When installing WordPress in the server, we enabled the notifications of plugin
   and theme updates. However, after some considerations, we want the automatic 
   plugin and theme update enabled but do not need a notification every time one
   of them is updated successfully.
 * Ideally (suggestion), the notifications should be sent by WordPress only if there
   is any issue with the plugin and theme update. We want to disable the update 
   notification while keeping the automatic updates enabled. However, we could not
   find where to do it inside the WordPress dashboard. Any advice is welcome! 🙂
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fdisabling-wordpress-plugin-and-theme-update-notifications%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * Hi there,
 * I found an article that details different ways of disabling update notification
   emails > [https://www.wpbeginner.com/wp-tutorials/how-to-disable-automatic-update-email-notification-in-wordpress/](https://www.wpbeginner.com/wp-tutorials/how-to-disable-automatic-update-email-notification-in-wordpress/)
 * Please check it out and see if it works for you. I have not used any of the methods,
   so I recommend testing them out first.
