Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about Disable Auto Update Emails and Block Updates for Plugins, WP Core, and Themes

Yes, you can use this plugin with any theme. We have tried with popular themes such as Enfold, Avada, Elementor page builders, Astra, Divi, etc and it works perfectly great.

This plugin uses the default WordPress filter to block plugin updates. However, some premium plugins use their own APIs, which may bypass the default WordPress mechanisms. As a result, the code only blocks updates for plugins that follow the default WordPress update system. To mitigate this, we've added CSS and fallback JavaScript to hide the update notifications as much as possible.

No, this plugin will only disable the email notifications that you receive after an auto-updates of plugins, themes, or WordPress core. If Auto Updates are enabled, your plugins, themes, and WordPress will update automatically.
