Thanks for making this – but sometimes it is helpful to see on the Admin side when an update is needed, like building a site sometimes I don’t always enable the auto-update for a plugin. A tick box for ‘disable email notifciations only’ or to disable admin side notifications and email notifications.

Also a tick box for the ‘nag’ notices separately would be great… like this kind of option list:

Disable:

Y/N -Successful Update emails (problem emails still sent)

Y/N -Disable all backend notifications

Y/N -Disable nag / upgrade notifications on backend (keep other admin notifications)

Apply to:

Y/N -PLugins

Y/N -Themes

Y/N -Core

Also, the plug in makes the Auto-Updates Disabled look like nothing is enabled for auto-updates; that’s not great.

Thank you

Every time I click to Activate the plugin, I’m booted from the WordPress dashboard with the error message “Sorry, You Are Not Allowed to Access This Page”. I have to rename the plugin folder in /wp-content/plugins to regain access.

It’s a Network site. Is this plugin not usable on Network sites?

Hi, the logs show a lot of this warnings

[14-Nov-2023 13:58:22 UTC] PHP Warning: Undefined array key “submit-nonce” in /wp-content/plugins/disable-update-notifications/index.php on line 36

Suggestion: It would be helpful to add the word email after “notifications” to remove ambiguity. I was confused for a while whether this would be suppressing pop-up notfication/banners or notification emails (what I was really keen to get rid of!)

e.g.

“This plugin will disable WordPress core update notification emails, plugin update notification emails and theme update notifications emails and inline warnings banners/pop-ups in your admin panel.”

etc.

Thanks for developing this!

I really like this plugin so far, but it would be tremendously helpful if there was a way to use the plugin to only turn off notifications for deactivated plugins.

I have several deactivated plugins that show regular notifications, and its like spam. I only use these plugins on occasion, and it’d be nice to just manually update it when I actually use the plugin. Small annoyance, lol

When this plugin is active, FluentSMTP cannot send emails.

Critical Problems:

The Plugin “Disable WordPress Update Notifications” has a security vulnerability.
Vulnerability Severity: 4.3/10.0 (Medium) Vulnerability Information

The Disable WordPress Update Notifications plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Cross-Site Request Forgery in versions up to, and including, 2.3.3. This is due to missing or incorrect nonce validation on the dwnSettings() function. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to modify the plugin’s settings, via a forged request granted they can trick a site administrator into performing an action such as clicking on a link.

Hey, looks like a great plugin and great reviews. I would still like to see when updates are pending in the admin portal, but I only need the email notifications disabled. Are you able to add this separate function in?

Hi the plugin throws a Fatal Error with PHP 8.0.26.

PHP Fatal error: Uncaught Error: Call to undefined function create_function() in ****/wp-content/plugins/disable-update-notifications/
index.php:167

When I enabled some of the options in the plugin the website got a server error, so I removed the plugin files.

When I went to re-add and re-activate the plugin I got the following – Fatal error: Uncaught Error: Call to undefined function create_function() in /home/(website)/public_html/wp-content/plugins/disable-update-notifications/index.php:167 Stack trace: #0 /home/(website)/public_html/wp-admin/includes/plugin.php(2313): include_once() #1 /home/(website)/public_html/wp-admin/plugins.php(192): plugin_sandbox_scrape(‘disable-update-…’) #2 {main} thrown in /home/(website)/public_html/wp-content/plugins/disable-update-notifications/index.php on line 167

I have this setup on a few websites and I still getting notifications regardless of the settings. WP 5.8 and 5.9.
Can you please post screenshot of the settings for it is supposed to look like in order for no notices to be sent? I have tried multiple configs.

Thank you!

Fixing is appreciated. Thanks.

FYI, this plugin hides all checkboxes in admin. Really strange. Took me forever to figure out where my checkboxes on media file, products, posts, etc… went.

Here’s the CSS from the plugin:

/* base styles */
.....

/* border radius for checkbox */
input[type="checkbox"] {
    border-radius: 2px;
    visibility: hidden;
}

This plugin shows an error in my localhost installation with debug on:

Deprecated: Function create_function() is deprecated in ...\wp-content\plugins\disable-update-notifications\index.php on line 165

Hello ??

I wanted to know if this plugin disables the automatic security updates too ?
I don’t want automatic update for higher versions (5.5 to 5.6), but I still want the automatic minor security updates (5.5.0 > 5.5.1) ??

Thank you,
Camille

Today’s update totally crashed my site.
