Frequently asked questions.
Why do I need this?
Maybe you don’t. But this is for people who don’t want emails sent on site updates. It can get sort of unruly when you have a lot of sites. And because emails are annoying.
I would like to edit what the update email contains. Can I do that?
Probably, but not with this plugin. This is only intended to suppress the emails sent, not modify them in any way.
