does not seem to be working

Hi shazdeh, so you still get update notices after activating the plugin?

Hi!
My understanding was the plugin should disable the updates completely (not just notices). The problem I’m facing is that the update check requests slow down WP on local setup (sometimes the updates cause php timeout errors), however the plugin did not disable the updates.

I agree with shazdeh, plugin doesn’t work correctly with WP4.1 on localhost or vbox machine (ip 192.168….),
Plugin should stop file /wp-includes/update.php
to connect with outside (The Internets)
on line 295 (URL https://api.www.ads-software.com/plugins/update-check/1.1/)
and on line 455 (URL https://api.www.ads-software.com/themes/update-check/1.1/)

OK this is how I resolved problem:

1. Edit plugin’s file ‘disable-updates.php’, at very begging right after
PHP opening markup “<?php” add:

require_once realpath( __DIR__. '../../../../wp-admin/includes/plugin.php');

2. Edit constructor of the object’s class OS_Disable_WordPress_Updates:
Right at the constructor’s start add:

foreach (get_plugins() as $file => $pval) {
       $this->__pluginsFiles[$file] = $pval['Version'];
}

3. Edit last_checked_now method, add:

$current->checked = $this->__pluginsFiles;

That’s it!

* This is quick and dirty, call it brown, but it works.

@makapaka: that did have an effect I think, is there any adjustments needed for themes and core as well?
thanks for the fix ??

For the themes and core You have to cope Yourself, sorry but I have no time. I think that resolution is very similar – just analyze file /wp-includes/update.php – lines around numbers 295 and 455 and another one which I don’t remember.

I think that this bug came out because of problems with Internet connection between my home and api.www.ads-software.com – sometimes there is a connection lag which makes WP http-query object throw exception with message ‘An unexpected error occurred. Something may be wrong with www.ads-software.com or this server’s configuration.‘ – that’s how I got it.

Hi guys, just released a plugin update v1.4.3 that should fix the issues with outgoing www.ads-software.com API checks.
