How To Turn Off Wordfence Admin Login Alert Emails

How To Turn Off email alerts From Wordfence

1. Login to your WordPress Admin dashboard on the domain that is sending you email alerts
2. On the right hand side you will see a “Wordfence” section with the logo, if you hover over it you will see a “Options” link in the dropdown tab. Click on that tab and you’ll be presented with the options page.
3. Scroll down to “Advanced Settings” and un-check the email alert options. See picture below.

Uncheck each option that you no longer want to receive an email alert for. Click on “Save Changes” located at the bottom of the settings menu to ensure that the settings are saved.

That’s it! You can adjust other email settings from this page as well, including the “overview reports” that are set at a two-week reporting interval by default.
