Wordpress - Disable user notification on password change

Question

Our client wants to disable the default notification email that sends Wordpress when someone uses the "forgot password" form.

The client uses a theme that also sends out an email with the new password so the default notification should be disabled.

But I don't know how to do this, can anyone help me with this?

Answer 1

Add this line to your function file to disable default password change notification in wordpress.

To disable the notice of changed email sent by the wp_update_user() function, simply use the filter hook to return false:

add_filter( 'send_email_change_email', '__return_false' );

Reference - https://codex.wordpress.org/Plugin_API/Filter_Reference/send_email_change_email

Method 2

if ( !function_exists( 'wp_password_change_notification' ) ) {
    function wp_password_change_notification() {}
}

put this code in your plugin file for method 2. Note - it will not work if you put in your theme function file

Method 3 - use this plugin to get required output

Hi, I tried this but it keeps sending out the email notification with subject "Message about password change". – Idioglossia

Try method 2 and check – Rampant

Unfortunately I still get 2 notifications. I did the option with the code snippet plugin or do I really need to make a plugin? – Idioglossia

Try method 3 if you don't want to create plugin. else in method 2 its good if you can create custom plugin – Rampant
