The SQL-query gives an error that multiple rows were returned:
MariaDB [psa]> update ModuleSettings set value='{"notifyAdmin":false,"notifyResellers":false,"notifyClients":false,"notifyCustomEmail":false,"customEmail":"","message":"<available_updates_text><available_updates_list><installed_updates_text><installed_updates_list><requirements_updates_text><requirements_updates_list>"}' where module_id=(select module_id from wp);

The issue here is that '%wp%' also matches 'showPricesVAT' and 'vatShowPopover'.
Hi R Broersma,
Could you please enlist what components do your Plesk installation has? Does it has some billing component or any specific extension providing such tables?
After following these instructions and turning all Wordpress notifications off, Plesk still sends an email notification every time a Wordpress site is created. Is there a way to shut this email notification off?
Hello Deanna Wallace
Please, check if this or custom notification in event handlers is enabled:
Hello,
is there a way to disable this mails for some customers separately?
I have customers who doesn't want those mails and other who love them.
Haven't found any settings at user settings.
