Thanks for the information pythoninthegrass!!

Turns out that by installing the PMPro Email Template plugin, there is an option to disable outgoing email: Memberships > Email Templates > Email Template: Membership Expired then check "Disable this email." Problem solved!

I just tested this as a plugin in 2020 and it still works for me. I'm not sure why the upgrade notification came up for the user above. Maybe it was an issue with our license server back then. Maybe there was a .org plugin with the same name.

In any case, the Email Templates Add On setting is one way to do this on a per email basis. You can also use our PMPro Toolkit Add On to block emails. There are other plugins that do this as well.

The tactic of blanking out the email recipient like this works well. So you can use a one liner like this:

add_filter("pmpro_email_recipient", "__return_false" );

Note this filters only PMPro emails. Similar tactics should work for all WP email using the core WP filters.

Hello there ! Thank you for this great snippet. I have 2 questions "

• I'm trying to block automatics mails to admins, not to users. How could we do that ?
• Where can I find the name of a different template like here "invoice" if I want to disable other one ?
