Do I still get upgrade reminders if I disallow file mods

  • I would like to add the following in wp-config for extra security:

    define( ‘DISALLOW_FILE_MODS’, true );

    And use SFTP to do upgrades.

    But if I add this code, do I still get those upgrade reminders when there is a new version of WordPress and plugins?

    Thanks.

    Why would you want to disable updates?

    I read somewhere, if an admin panel is compromised a hacker can upload a plugin with malicious code. So adding DISALLOW_FILE_MODS prevents that.

    I don’t want to disable the update notifications, I want to keep them to notify me when new updates are available, I am just making sure that define( ‘DISALLOW_FILE_MODS’, true ); doesn’t disable the update notifications.
