Does not work as advertised…

Blocks ALL updates – not notifications.
I just installed this on a ton of sites on a very slow server. Now I have to go back and uninstall it to get updates working again.
Waste of time.
Thank you!

Blocked User Notifications Too
by tansandals·1 year ago·1 reply
I mean, yes it disables annoying notifications. The problems is it blocked all my new user notifications as well, so that when I added a new user, they never received the email. Couldn’t find any settings to address this.
I think your descriptions are wrong
by shoulders1024·1 year ago
From what I can tell your plugin does the following
- disables plugin updates
- disables theme updates
- disables wordpress core updates
- disables update notifications.
Because you are disabling the updates the descriptions should be
- Disable all plugin updates.
- Disable all theme updates
- Disable all WordPress core updates
- Disable plugins & themes auto-update email notifications.
The description should read
This plugin will completely disable the Plugin, Theme, and WordPress core update notifications. It will also disable auto-update Email Notifications for Plugins, Themes and WP CORE.
Excellent – Thank You!
