Your plugin is fantastic for speeding up the WP Admin!
However… Then we are blind to updates being available.
What would make it PERFECT is if you allowed for update checks once a day.
Then we would have the best of both worlds; fast WP Admin, and knowing when there’s updates available.
]]>When the plugin enabled, 3rd party service like patchstack could not detect if there is a new update for the site. It is possible to disable update form WP backend but allowing it for 3rd party wp management service?
thanks
]]>Hello, I’m trying to disable the plugin to update plugins. But whenever I disable it, I get a critical error on the site, and have to roll back to previous iterations of the site.
Any ideas how I can resolve this issue?
Kind regards
Is it possible to set this up to only check for plugin/theme updates once a week? With a cron or similar?
]]>Hi, my friend
Your plugin blocks all update requests.
We customize some plugins and templates at the customer’s request.
I want to disable updates to some plugins or site templates.
That means I want to put part of your code inside the main plugin file or template function file. I generally need a code for the plugin and a code for the template.
Can you guide me with your codes?
I do not want to use other plugins like (Easy Updates Manager).
Thank you

thanks

Thanks for the great plugin! I’m able to save considerable time in the backend now.
The only thing I can think of to improve the plugin is to add a button or link in the plugins page to check for updates once. It would save the hassle of disabling and reenabling the plugin.
Is this something you would consider adding?
]]>Thanks for the helpful plugin.
But I would like to suggest adding a small idea. I sometimes don’t update, because forget that this plugin is on. And maybe it would be good during the activation of the plugin a small plugin icon would appear (for example in top admin bar). It will help to remember that the plugnt is activated.
Greetings, a user of a plugin I have noticed that when your plugin is active, it will remove plugin icons in the WP admin menu bar that do not have submenu pages. Instead of the plugin icon, there is just an empty area.
After taking a look at your plugin, I noticed the problem arises from line 150 and 151 on disable-updates.php. By removing the update_plugins option/capability, it will prevent any plugin showing that does not have a submenu page. This could be an issue with the WP core, but I thought you would like to be informed anyway.
Since WordPress 5.2, there is a Site Health screen showing the result of a bunch of checks. Disabling the automatic updates creates a critical issue there. This can be disabled via a filter such as
add_filter( 'site_status_tests', function( $tests ) {
unset( $tests['async']['background_updates'] );
return $tests;
});
It could be a good addition to the plugin, since there is no point to show this issue when you enable the plugin, given that you have explicitly chosen to disable automatic updates.
]]>Hi, is there a way to control the plugin from the command line like Akeeba Backup? That way, you could set up cron jobs to enable updates in off peak hours. I’m not sure how the WP update mechanism works, so I don’t know if that would immediate kick off all updates (would be good if you could trigger it), but it alleviates the problem that people occasionally forget to run updates and so miss vital security patches. Or maybe a trigger instruction that would enable updates, trigger all of them and go offline again after any updates have finished, but I suspect that that would take some deep diving into WP core code.
That said, it would, of course be best if we could get WordPress to provide CLI tools to control and enable/disable/trigger site and plugin updates so we don’t have to bend the framework out of shape.
I’ve had instances that a plugin updated right in the middle of an Elementor page creation session so the site would go offline for a few seconds. Right there, smack bang in the middle of a logged in session which is what prompted me to disable updates – and yes, that also improved overall site speed.
]]>Hi fellas.
I’m using this plugin and it is awesome. Unfortunately I have to edit block_request to include /core/version-check, because the following call was still begin made:
https://api.www.ads-software.com/core/version-check/1.7/
?version=5.3.2
&php=7.4.4
&locale=pt_BR
&mysql=5.5.5
&local_package=
&blogs=1
&users=60
&multisite_enabled=0
&initial_db_version=22441
Thanks for the superb job!
]]>Is this plugin compatible with PHP 7.3?
]]>Disabled plugin and still can’t update and no links to updates either
]]>Hi,
Using this plugin that makes the job perfectly – remove calls from server, that are blocked by my ISP firewalls.
This result in wp-admin pages to be very slow. (5s or 10s timeouts)
However, the wp_check_php_version() issues an API call that is not blocked.
So suggest to also block that API, that is there to warn ADMIN about their PHP version.
Source off call :
wp_check_php_version()
Target API :
https://api.www.ads-software.com/core/serve-happy/1.0/
Suggest to amend block_request()
…
if( false !== stripos( $host, ‘api.www.ads-software.com’ ) && (false !== stripos( $url_data[‘path’], ‘update-check’ ) || false !== stripos( $url_data[‘path’], ‘browse-happy’ ) || false !== stripos( $url_data[‘path’], ‘serve-happy’ )) ) {
….
Thanks for the plugin !
]]>Is it possible to exclude a plugin or a cron jobs when Disable All WordPress Updates is activated?
]]>Hello!
I’d like to have your plugin enabled for every other user or visitor, but disabled for me (admin) so I can see what updates are available.
Any easy way to do that?
Please let me know.
Thanks!
Hello!
I’d like to ask if the plugin is fully compatible and works properly with PHP 7.1 and PHP 7.2 because I’m in the process of upgrading.
I ran the PHP Compatibility Checker plugin and I got the following warning:

All plugins have stopped updating even after disabling “Disable All WordPress Updates”. I can no longer receive updates from plugins, even after disabling the “Disable All WordPress Updates” … I need to help urgently! Error updating plugins by disabling “Disable All WordPress Updates”…
]]>Does this plugin also disable the minor auto updates and corresponding emails sent to admin? (just like the recent update to 4.8.2)
]]>Hi,
I just have a quick one..
When I disable WP core updates. Lets say i disable it for a longer period of time, and several new updates have arrived to the WP core. – Will i then be able to enable updates and update through all of the previous WP updates? Or will i run into trouble if I have too old of a version of WP core at that point?
Thank you for helping out!
Regards
Bulk operations select list still have update option.
Here is patch to fix that.
The filter_cron_events ( v1.5 ) from
https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/possible-performance-improvement/
don’t work inside the admin_init function.
I had to move the
add_action('schedule_event', array($this, 'filter_cron_events'));
outside the admin_init function, to get it working.
By the way, can you answer my question in the
https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/possible-performance-improvement/
about the plugins list. For me its a huge performance boost and i can’t make it without changing your plugin code.
]]>Hi .. since the last update of Wp It wont update on automatic on my admin wp..i have to do it manually..but im new to this and may not be able to…i have a templatic theme..wont update my Tevolution plug ins.. anyone else getting this problem.??
the problem started at 4.7.3 update the help
Hello,
When using WP Redis it’s often impossible to activate/de-activate the plugin. It remains inactive/active accordingly.
I’m seeing quite a few plugins having this and similar (e.g. plugin options not saving) when Redis object caching is being used.
On one side, flushing Redis cache does help, but that’s not the best ‘fix’ for sure.
From what I can tell after looking at this and similar threads, “add the cache group they are using to the non-persistent cache groups” is a much better way out.
That said, how would I do the above for your plugin? ??
]]>First, thanks for a great plugin.
I noticed that there is code to get a list of all installed plugins and themes in the main class constructor. It looks like those lists are only used in two methods though.
Since the class is loaded (and the constructor is called) on every request to the site, it seems like it might be beneficial to move that code to the methods where it is used. Or, am I missing some reason why those lists are needed on every request?

]]>Hi
Thanks for plugin. I have a question about its functionality.
I don’t want to have any future updates for my website,just designed and uploaded on host for one time.
I wonder if any plugin stop suddenly because its author decides. I don’t want my website have any access to internet(however all my plugins are free).
Does this plugin abandon my WordPress and plugin to access internet?
Thanks alot
