How do I disable ALL email notifications for registered users. 

I am trying to migrate, and it is automatically emailing the people I migrate. I don't want this to happen. It is sending them registration confirmation, and I can't find where to turn this off. How do I disable ALL emails from ever being sent out to any user being registered/migrated?

The Go2wpForo tool doesn't send the email notification.

First of all deactivate other plugins that have any relation to User management system WooCommerce, UM, etc. Then navigate to Dashboard > Forums > Settings > Feature admin page, disable the User Registration email confirmation option. Then try again.

Is there any way to test the database somehow and make sure that they aren't receiving emails?

The only way I thought of was to manually make a user, and when I do that no emails are sent. But I am worried that if I try to migrate it will be different, and those users might still get an email. Is there like a test database I can pull from?

@whitehat91 I may be completely off topic here, so apologies if this isn't useful. If you want to create a replica of your own site for testing, but do not want it to send email, you can use this

I've used it in numerous instances for testing and it does exactly what it says on the tin.

Yeah, the plugin helps...but I'm asking if there's a way to TEST it because I can't rely on hoping any plugin works if I try and migrate. Would be catastrophic if 50k+ users that I'm migrating all get spam emails from a test website I'm using.
