    Hey Guys,

    There is no option to turn off email notifications to the user and admin each time a new listing is created. This is 2 extra emails, that have to be paid for and aren’t necessary. We need the option to turn these off.

    How can we get this done asap?

    Thanks!

    Hi Tom,

    GeoDirectory doesn’t provide an option to stop sending notifications. But please check out this article and see if it helps. https://wptavern.com/how-to-stop-wordpress-from-sending-emails or https://wordpress.org/plugins/disable-emails/

    Thanks, unfortunately we do want some emails. We want to control. You have an option on others so I’m confused as to why not the rest? Simple, no?

    Hi Stiofan, missed your reply on this, sorry.

    We want all notitications turned off. The only thing we want sending through system is the send enquiry form.

    Because we need to use 3rd party smtp provider and pay for each email. So we need to minimize that as much as possible.

    Thanks

    Hi Tom,

    That sounds a bit extreme but it can be done but you would need to make a small plugin.
    What SMTP provider are u using? Maybe you need to find a new one.

    We’re hosted at wpengine and going to use sendgrid.

    I’m not sure why these can’t be included in the control where we turn others off also? This seems like something everyone with any serious plans would want to do to control costs, no?

    Hi Tom,

    Most people don’t want to turn off basic emails so we don’t provide an option for that.

    I see sendgrids lowest pricing is 40k emails for $9.95/month, do you send over 40k emails a month at the moment?
    We use https://www.sparkpost.com/pricing/ which used to be free for upto 50k month but recently started charging.
    We also use https://aws.amazon.com/ses/pricing/ for some things.

    The question is how many emails do you expect to send a month?

    I can help you out with the code to do what you want but i don’t think its the right solution.

    Thanks,

    Stiofan

    We are building a worldwide site at photographer.org, yes we are anticipating very high volume. And we need to contain costs, really that simple.

    How can we adjust the code? thx!

    That is a VERY nice domain you have there 🙂

    This is what i would do:
    1. make a basic 1 file plugin and name it a_ANYTHING.php (so it loads before GD)
    2. copy the only two email functions in GD that send emails
    function geodir_sendEmail() and function adminEmail()
    3. Add some conditions for what emails should send and what should return to the start of the functions, something like:

    if ( $message_type != 'send_enquiry' ) { return;}

    If you have any questions or need help implementing it just let me know.

    Thanks,

    Stiofan
