Disable admin password reset notifications using a WordPress Code Snippet

A WordPress code snippet to disable admin password reset notifications, and how you can add it to WordPress.

The default WordPress behavior of sending the admin notification emails when users reset their password can become annoying fast.

The only way to disable these notifications is by adding this piece of code to your child theme's functions.php, or create a custom functionality plugin.

<?php

add_action('init',function(){
    remove_action( 'after_password_reset', 'wp_password_change_notification' );
});

Manually editing WordPress code to add Code Snippets is risky

If you need to add a code snippet to WordPress, editing your theme's functions.php, or creating a custom plugin can break your site, and adds a lot of unnecessary overhead.

You actually aren't supposed to add code to your theme's functions.php, because if your theme updates, you will lose all your changes. The correct way to do this is by creating a child theme.

Both routes require a lot of boilerplate code, and you will end up with a long, messy, and hard to maintain file (be it functions.php or a custom plugin)
