  • Checks out clean! 2 Lines of code! Perfect!

    I am always suspicious of WordPress plugins and like to see if they really do ONLY what they say. I was SO pleased to see that this plugin literally adds two lines of executable code. Two filters that just disable theme and plugin update emails. That's it. Amazing!
