Disable Updates – Selective Update Control

Descrição

Disables all automatic updates (core, plugins, themes, translations) and restricts update visibility & access to admin account(s) chosen under Settings > Update Control. Only selected admins can install plugins. No plugin — including this one — can deactivate any other plugin. Plugin File Editor access is blocked for non-allowed users. All other users — including other administrators not on the list — won’t see update nags, counts, or the Updates screen, and can’t trigger updates.

Instalação

  1. Upload the selective-update-control folder to the /wp-content/plugins/ directory.
  2. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress.
  3. Go to Settings > Update Control to configure which administrator accounts should retain update access.

If you manage websites with multiple admin users, this plugin is a lifesaver. It prevents accidental updates by restricting update access to selected users. Clean, lightweight, and does exactly what it should.
