Remove custom email rule from wordpress site - wordpress

Help a developer i hired not only he didn't finish the job, but also he left a rule that sends him a copy for everyone who sings up on my site i've been trying to remove the rule from the plugins to no avail I am new to programming, below ill place some images hopefully one can indicate me where such rule could be, i want to mention i am using fluent form and that also he had ftp access only to that specific directory as i didn't fully trusted him.
also, there are not custom snippets in the snippets section
also he never had access to cpanel, and the email is sent only from that specific form i belive as it was the only form at the time enter image description here
I can confirm that removing the plugins and removing cache and re-installing the plugins doesn't work but I can officially confirm that the issue only happens when this line is added into fluent form, methods=stripe&fname={inputs.names.first_name}&lname={inputs.names.last_name}&email={inputs.email}&cname={inputs.input_text_1}&acname={inputs.input_text_2}&phone={inputs.numeric-field}&admin_url={submission.id}
Even if only this: methods=stripe is added, still send the email to him that instructions tells the plugin where to find that email address
i tried typing the email address in php my admin and file manager in cpanel but nothing i find only logs at most of the emails sent

Since you are using Fluent forms then you should check the notification rules of that specific form.
Click on Settings of the form you want
Go to Settings & Integration(Top bar) > Email Notifications (Sidebar)
There you will see all notification rules for that form, his email is probably there, remove it.
More info here.

SOLVED: The rule came from within the theme file editor, wasn't the plugins.
the developer added his email for notification testing and never removed it.

Wordpress ERROR :reCAPTCHA verification failed. Please Try Again

I'm new to wordpress, literally the first time using it, and now i am frustrated because i cannot even get in on the page even as an admin because of the error on the title.
So here's how it went :
i wanted to add social login for my web
i install nextend social login and use the google platform for it
i did every step right (i made sure of it, there's a list of steps in the nextend i just simply follow it)
i copy the secret id and cope, i verify it and i wanted to test it out
so i log out of my user, and i don't even see the google button to login (maybe because i haven't add it (i thought it's automatic))
and so i went to login using user and password turns out it gives me an error
ERROR :reCAPTCHA verification failed. Please Try Again.
i have searched at google, youtube and nothing seems to work, please help
Note : i cannot get into my account
Option 1: Examine what other plugins you have installed.
Perhaps one of them is interfering e.g if you have cache plugin, you might want to clear your browser cache and try again and/or disable the cache plugin entirely
Option 2: Disable and re-install
If you have access to the host account, you can disable and re-install the plugin via phpmyadmin or ftp as shown in the following article.

Go to your hosting login to WP through there to your admin panel.
Go to your google reCAPTCHA account get keys and paste them to your reCAPTCHA plugin on Wordpress again.

Remove element from Wordpress plugin

I am currently using a social media login plugin for my website that allows users to login via their social media account.
Currently the flow of the plugin works in a way such that after ANY user authenticate themselves through Facebook, they will be brought back to my site with 2 options, link their Facebook account with their site's account, or to register an account.
How can I edit my code such that I am able to remove the "registration account" part without editing the plugin code directly as this might affect future updates of the plugin itself. One way that I know will definitely work is to comment that section away in the plugins itself but I do not wish to touch the plugin code.
After researching, a possible way that I think might work is to apply a filter that removes the element but I am not sure if that is the correct workaround for this situation.
Can anyone shed some light on this matter?
Thank you!
I don't see a way to filter executed php code on your Wordpress website.
I got two ways of dealing with this:
1: Disallow people to register an account on your site. The registration link will probably not be displayed anymore.
2: Or comment out the code within the plugin. Remember where you edited the lines. Whenever the plugin gets an update, comment out those lines again. Or contact the owner of the plugin to issue a feature request.

Unable to "login" via twitter API

I have implemented a twitter login for my site, using a plugin called "Simple Twitter Connect".
Now what this plugin does is create a twitter login function for my site above the the comments section which allows users to use their twitter details rather than filling out name and email boxes.
Now the problem I am having with it is when it gets to the authorize page on twitter.com, after entering the details and then going back to the site it loads solicialize.gigaya.com page.
On the contents of the page it says
Failed connecting. Please try again later
I initially thought it must simply be something wrong with the plugin, however I have contacted the plugin author and he as said that gigya has nothing to do with his plugin nor does his plugin link to it.
I havent signed up to gigya nor implemented any of their functions on my site, so I'm not sure how this site gets into the equation.
If anyone wants to recreate the issue, the click here and login via twitter.
Can anyone suggest what the issue may be?
After the successful OAuth-Login you are redirected to the Callback URL associated with your Consumer key. The Callback URL can be configured - here's how you do it:
Log in to https://dev.twitter.com/apps
Select the application which you are using in your blog
Go to the "Settings" tab and you'll find the Callback URL under "Application Type"
Set the URL to your blog base directory (where the index.php is).

Wordpress Admins are notified by email when blog is posted or edited

I'm trying to find a way to alert all admins when a blog is posted. My client has multiple admins setup for his Wordpress site and wants to be alerted when one of them submits a new blog post or edits one so he can double check it for spelling errors and to make sure he approves the content and he wants to be notified with an email. I searched for a plugin for this but came up empty. Does anyone know how to do this or if their is a plugin to accomplish this that I just couldn't find?
Thank you.
You should take a look at the subscribe2 plugin. I use it on one of my membership sites to notify subscribers when something new has been posted. You can define the notification list to include whatever email addresses you like. By default, all new posts will be emailed to those addresses.
As for edits, I don't think the plugin does it by default, however it does add a checkbox at the bottom of the post editor that allows an notification to be forced.
For other developers, who are facing same issue, here is a pretty cool plugin. It is very light weight and easy to configure. Below is the link

Can I find out how many people are using my WP plugin?

I'm wondering is it allowed and also what's the best way to track how many users are currently using and running your WordPress plugin?
It's not really allowed without user permission, best bet is to check your plugin stats for active versions and download counts.
No "phoning home" without user's informed consent. This seemingly
simple rule actually covers several different aspects:
No unauthorized collection of user data. For example, sending the admin's email address back to your own servers without permission of
the user is not allowed; but asking the user for an email address and
collecting if they choose to submit it is fine. All actions taken in
this respect MUST be of the user's doing, not automatically done by
the plugin.
All images and scripts shown should be part of the plugin. These should be loaded locally. If the plugin does require that data is
loaded from an external site (such as blocklists) this should be made
clear in the plugin's admin screens or description. The point is that
the user must be informed of what information is being sent where.

Why not just check how many people have downloaded your WP plugin?
You could make a callback to your server, but many users won't like it.
