How to disable error emails in WordPress

If you’re building complex custom function in your WordPress website, or making other “experimental” changes in your site, there’s a big chance that at some point you’ll make a tiny mistake in the code which will crash your WordPress website.

Here you’ll find an easy way to disable these error emails.
