WP email turn off help

**Sami4u** · 8 November, 2009, 23:08 PM

Hi,

How do I turn off the email on a wp blog?

I do not want wordpress to send me emails?

Example like this

A user tried to go to mydomain.com received a 404 (page not found) error. It wasn't their fault, so try fixing it.
They came from mydomain.com

I also do not want emails when a comment is left.

Would like everything turned off.

Thanks in Advance.

(Side note) Did the same guy that invented e-mail invent the coin machine? LOL

Remove the contact form.

Hi,

All of my email questions are about different sites not the same site.

I do not see how removing the contact form will help me with this.

How will removing the contact from stop wp from sending me an email saying you have a new comment on your blog?

Or an email saying that their is an error on the page?

Lost on that.

It won't stop you from receiving an email saying you have a new comment on your blog.

One solution is to change the E-mail address uner the general settings to a free gmail account.

Hi,

Must be away my new host sent me a PM wanted to know why the site sent over 100 emails in less then a hour. I don't think he is happy with me. I think he thinks I am sending spam. I did explain what was going on.

There must be some way to stop this.

It is already is going to a free email account. But it is still sending ever time a comment is made.

I was hoping I could edit a line somewhere or add a plugin or something like that.

Close the comments until you find a solution.

Do you have a backup that you can reinstall? There may be some code that was injected into the database.

I'm using a back database plugin that will email the back-up every x amount of hours

About getting emailed whenever someone comments, log in to your wordpress admin panel. Go to Settings -> Discussion, find "Email me whenever" and uncheck "Anyone posts a comment" and/or "A comment is held for moderation" if you want. Then just save your changes.
