## Beschrijving

This plugin has multiple utilities to enhance your WordPress experience.

**Disable Notifications:**

The plugin lets you turn off specific WordPress email notifications without touching
code Notifications are grouped by platform in tabs, making it easy to find and disable
exactly what you don’t need.

#### WordPress

 * Password reset – disables the admin notification when a user resets their password
 * Plugin auto updated – disables the email sent after automatic plugin updates

#### WooCommerce

 * Password reset – disables the admin notification when a user resets their password

**General**

Under the **General** tab you can activate the following utilities:

 * Set a fixed sender/bounce e-mail address (envelope-from) for all outgoing transactional
   e-mail. This overrides the server’s default fallback address, which is useful
   when sending mail from a domain that differs from the server’s own domain. This
   could be needed for dedicated hosting services from companies such as Rootnet
   and Hostnet.

**Security**

Under the **Security** tab you can activate the following utilities:

 * Disable WordPress XMLRPC. This disables the XMLRPC endpoint, which is often used
   for brute-force attacks and is not needed for most WordPress sites.
 * Hide public available WordPress usernames. This prevents the author archive pages
   from being publicly accessible, which can help reduce spam and brute-force attacks.

**Missing a notification?**

Can’t find the notification you want to disable? [Request it via our website](https://burocastra.nl)
and we’ll look into adding it.

**Extensible by design**

Developers can add their own domains (tabs) and notifications via filters:

 * `bc_disable_notifications_domains` – register additional domain tabs
 * `bc_disable_notifications_wordpress_notifications` – add notifications to the
   WordPress tab
 * `bc_disable_notifications_woocommerce_notifications` – add notifications to the
   WooCommerce tab
 * `bc_disable_notifications_security_notifications` – add utilities to the Security
   tab

## Installatie

 1. Upload the plugin folder to `/wp-content/plugins/`
 2. Activate the plugin through the **Plugins** screen in WordPress
 3. Go to **Settings > Buro Castra – Utilities / Disable Notifications** and configure
    which utilities you want to use

## FAQ

### Does this affect emails sent to users?

No. The included notifications target admin emails only (e.g. the password reset
notification sent to the site administrator).

### The notification I want to disable is not listed. What can I do?

You can [request it via our website](https://burocastra.nl). If you’re a developer,
you can also add it yourself using the `bc_disable_notifications_domains` filter.
