Chris Christoff At WPControl, we found that there are many unused features of WordPress that make it a hassle sometimes or we just don’t need.

Disable Admin Notices – You can disable all admin notices that appear in the admin settings page. Disable New User Emails – Stops WordPress from sending new user notification emails to admin.
