How to Fix Site Database Backup Email SPAM?

The last update for iTheme Security plugin make lots of problems such as log files directory, directory permissions and etc.

Currently, I have disabled the Database Backups section of iTheme Security plugin. The iTheme Security database backups section create a backup from your website database. You can schedule it for database backups.

It’s not important option if you already have another database backup solutions. If you don’t have, let this plugin backup your website database.

Finally, I hope the iTheme Security developers will fix site database backup email SPAM quickly. If you already know how to fix this SPAM, please comment us from comment section.
