Disable WordPress Plugin Update Notices

While not recommended, there may be occasions when you would not want to be notified of available updates for a particular WordPress plugin.

In this article I provide you with a code snippet which you can add to your theme’s functions.php file to prevent those notifications from appearing within the Admin backend.

 

Disable Plugin Update Notifications

To implement, simply insert the following code into your theme’s functions.php file. Replace ‘your-plugin-folder/your-plugin-file.php‘ with the actual path to your plugin. This will prevent WordPress from showing update notifications for that particular plugin.

Reminder, this snippet simply hides the particular update notification but won’t stop WordPress from checking for updates. Also, skipping plugin updates can expose your site to security risks, so this isn’t a recommended ‘set-it and forget-it’ solution.
