Simple, clean, works

Does what it says. No fluff
Excellent
by bloohair·3 years ago
This plugin is useful to stop you from accidentally updating a plugin that fails when updated. Please can you bring it up to WP6.2?
Does not work

After I installed it, then selected the plugin to block, it still shows the plugin needing an update in the update screen.
Does not work in a multisite environment

As the title suggest the plugin does not work within a multisite/network environment.

Works!
by Marc Wiest·5 years ago
Minimal UI and it just works. Nice job. One recommendation I have is that it would be nice to be able to add notes on the plugins.php screen to inform why updating of a plugin is disabled.
