How to Disable New User Notification Emails in WordPress

By default, WordPress sends notification emails when a new user registers on your site. It notifies both the admin and the user.

You can use the wp_send_new_user_notification_to_user and wp_send_new_user_notification_to_admin hooks to disable these emails

In this tutorial, I’ll show you how to stop these new user registration emails using a PHP code snippet.
