The plugin prevents WordPress from checking for updates including cronjobs, and prevents any notifications from being displayed. ### 🛡️ New in 2.0: Security Mode Want to keep your site patched without the risk of an automatic major-version upgrade? Enable the new **Security Mode** on its own settings page (_Settings Disable Updates_) to restrict WordPress core auto-updates to **minor and security releases only**. Major version and development (nightly) core updates are blocked automatically, while plugin and theme auto-updates stay untouched. It is implemented purely through WordPress filters — **no wp-config.php edits required**. A clear warning is shown if the `WP_AUTO_UPDATE_CORE` constant is already defined elsewhere (host panel, mu-plugin, another plugin), and the admin-bar indicator turns orange while Security Mode is active so you can tell at a glance that updates are restricted rather than fully disabled. It’s _very_ important that you keep your WordPress theme, core and plugins up to date! If you don’t, your blog or website could be **susceptible to security vulnerabilities** or performance issues. If you use this plugin, make sure you keep yourself up to date with new releases of your active WordPress version, plugins and themes and update them as new versions are released (simply by deactivating this plugin for a short time if Security Mode isn’t enabled).

Upload the folder disable-wordpress-updates/ to your /wp-content/plugins/ folder. 3. Attiva il plugin dal tuo pannello amministratore di WordPress. 4. Installazione terminata. With activating the plugin all theme, core and plugin update checkings are disabled. If you want to have a quick look if new versions are existing, simply deactive this plugin for a short time. ## FAQ ### What can I do to be up to date with new releases of my WordPress version, plugins and themes? Simply deativate the plugin for a short time or enable the “Security Mode” in the plugin’s settings. In case new versions are available you see the WordPress notifications. ## Recensioni ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/b2d09a1403629cf2e6a9f58208e3e0f771856b5781e240a7d6b134f1cb955fd3? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Very Good and light Plugin](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/very-good-and-light-plugin-2/)󠁿 [RodBor](https://profiles.wordpress.org/rodmatbor/) 10 Luglio 2026 Usually I do in code, but its so lite and I think worth. ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/93dba9c4809c63f00ddde713577bb7bebb7ab18b619b7e40b989e95d07bb5de4? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Must have for Performance](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/must-have-for-performance-2/)󠁿 [welaunchio](https://profiles.wordpress.org/welaunchio/) 8 Marzo 2025 I normally never give ratings, but after 24 hours of debugging and finding out that another plugins update API service is causing my slow down, I am super happy that this plugin exists!

I've used it for years, it's always worked perfectly and still does. But if the author sees this message, I have a suggestion: please update the plugin from time to time – it doesn't have to be a major update, just a minor version change. I'm saying this because I noticed that, over the years, your plugin went lower in the priority list when installing it from within WP. A few years ago, I could search for "disable updates" and your plugin would be in the first row of results. Now, I search for its exact name, "disable all wordpress updates", and your plugin is the 15-20th result. I think this happens because WP sees that it's not been updated– although it works perfectly with the latest version of WP. ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/6268aa3e484793cb8dd6c6da9c70a9c760aa9fe2e28cbfcabf309485a07f50ed? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[A saviour when your host is blocked by wordpress.org…](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/a-saviour-when-your-host-is-blocked-by-wordpress-org/)󠁿 [jonjennings](https://profiles.wordpress.org/jonjennings/) 26 Settembre 2024 As someone caught in the middle of the fireworks between WPEngine and Automattic right now, thank you thank you thank you. This plugin prevents the 2 minute wait on every backend page load whilst the site tries and fails to talk to the plugin/ theme/core servers for an update check. ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/8c224ae622d3bdb4190c1fe6fabaa47b7f3af91b3e4421e92cfa153647777878? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Great plugin](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/great-plugin-39335/)󠁿 [mariohandsome](https://profiles.wordpress.org/mariohandsome/) 15 Agosto 2024 Great plugin [ Leggi tutte le recensioni di 69 ](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/disable-wordpress-updates/reviews/) ## Contributi e sviluppo “Disable All WordPress Updates” è un software open source.
