This can be useful if you have multiple environments such as a live and staging server and you don’t want your users to use the update functionality. This plugin not only disables the update mechanism for the core, plugins and themes, but it also removes the update menu item from the left navigation menu in the admin dashboard. ## Screenshots * [[ * WordPress dashboard before activating the plugin. * [[ * After activating the plugin all update notices are disabled. ## Instalacija 1. Unzip the zip file and upload the folder to the `wp-content/plugins/` directory. 2. Activate the plugin through the ‚Plugins‘ menu in WordPress. ## FAQ ### I am not sure what this plugin does, should I be using it? No, keeping WordPress up-to-date is very important for security reasons. You should only disable WordPress updates if you keep your system up to date using another mechanism such as a staging server or svn. ### Can I submit a feature request or bug report? Yes, please use the [support forum](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/disable-updates/) to report any issues you may have. You can submit code suggestions in the [GitHub repository](https://github.com/vanderwijk/disable-updates). ## Reviews ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/049aaa576d0edc825d2d0422aef429c387660e5699a96d5cf2e16e5d35a26c36? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[No options to choose](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/no-options-to-choose/)󠁿 [santoshsth1](https://profiles.wordpress.org/santoshsth1/) 15. decembra 2024 This plugin does what is says but it doesn’t give any choosing option at all. I don’t want to disable updates for all plugins. Found this plugin which provides more flexibility disabling core, updates, and as well gives options to choose for blocking specific plugin updates.https://wordpress.org/plugins/disable-email-notification- for-auto-updates/ ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/1332b11a7e7f07baa9e1087a557923d97113986591684a466907e00581220974? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[nice!](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/nice-4672/)󠁿 [bestwebmasternet](https://profiles.wordpress.org/bestwebmasternet/) 26. septembra 2023 simple for good practices_) ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/1ce499424fbe0deacb1f6f4dda0fadc9ca4d5cf38862b72c0e46355ef5796834? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Fantastic](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/fantastic-3218/)󠁿 [francisca34578](https://profiles.wordpress.org/francisca34578/) 30. awgusta 2023 This is absolutely fantastic, whoever made this deserves to be paid!! ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/b3e674fef6a85c140984129362366b2a12e3fe7e290bd4c505d63e88d9f1e155? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Amazing](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/amazing-2942/)󠁿 [waqassaleem378](https://profiles.wordpress.org/waqas7431/) 14. januara 2021 Just wondering why this Dimond doesn’t have even a single review.
