@Mte90 thanks, fixed!

Thanks for this! I have a question though, is there a way to only disable specific Basic notifications? I'd like my user to know that he/she earned a certificate, but I don't want to spam them with a notification every time they complete a lesson/quiz.

@RifleFish this does exactly that: https://gist.github.com/actual-saurabh/9826484ca095e3f3c0430ca59ad853b3#file-llms-remove-notifications-php-L38-L41

@actual-saurabh I know what you mean, but earning a certificate and completing a lesson notifications are both classified as 'Basic' notifications, which means that this script disables them both. However I want to keep the notifications for earning a certificate. Isn't there an option to disable notifications by name instead of delivery type?

@RifleFish you can remove the trigger ids that you wish to keep the notifications for, from the list in lines 12-26.

@actual-saurabh Great, thank you!
