Let’s talk about the auto_plugin_update_send_email filter in WordPress. This hook is quite handy when you want to control whether an email should be sent following an automatic background plugin update. Using hooks in WordPress is a great way to customize your website, and it’s always a good idea to implement them in a custom plugin. This way, your customizations remain intact even if you update your theme.

Example 1: Disabling Email Notifications

If you want to disable email notifications for plugin updates, you can use the following code snippet:

    add_filter( 'auto_plugin_update_send_email', '__return_false' );
    

Example 2: Modifying Email Send Condition

Here’s how you can use this hook to modify the condition under which emails are sent:

    function weplugins_modify_auto_plugin_update_send_email_defaults($enabled, $update_results) { 
        // Update the $enabled variable according to your website requirements and return this variable.
        return $enabled; 
    }
    // add the filter
    add_filter( "auto_plugin_update_send_email", "weplugins_modify_auto_plugin_update_send_email_defaults", 10, 2 );
    

Example 3: Removing a Hook Callback

To remove a previously registered hook callback, use the remove_filter function like this:

    remove_filter( "auto_plugin_update_send_email", "weplugins_modify_auto_plugin_update_send_email_defaults", 10, 2 );
    

Ensure you provide the same callback function name, priority, and number of arguments when removing the hook callback.
