## ವಿವರಣೆ

This plugin completely disables the theme, plugin and core update checking system
in WordPress. The plugin prevents WordPress from
 checking for updates including
cronjobs, and prevents any notifications from being displayed.

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).

## Installation

 1. Download the plugin and unzip it.
 2. Upload the folder disable-wordpress-updates/ to your /wp-content/plugins/ folder.
 3. Activate the plugin from your WordPress admin panel.

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. In case new versions are available
you see the WordPress notifications.

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! Thanks 1 Million times! This one is a requirement for good page
speed. P.S. Dont forget to disable it once a month to to updates 🙂

My developer recommended installing this to help with dashboard speed since we use
some 3rd party plugins. It has really helped, thanks!

First of all, I’m sorry it took so long to give a review for this wonderful plugin.
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.

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.

I can confirm that this plugin not only deactivates most notifiaction banners and
disables the communication with wordpress but also blocks the communication with
the wordpress-update-checker and THIS is a huge plus! Without this regular checking
all pages I installed the plugin run way faster, especially when I have Woocommerce
active.
