Prevent plugin update

    Recently my automatic plugin update lead to a server error (500). This was because the new version of the plugin caused an error. It was not possible to enter the admin area of the website at that moment. After restoring it, Easy updates manager immediately updated the plugin again with the same error as result.

    Is there a way to suspend such an update, via e.g. ftp, because after the new update entering the admin area was not possible. It was a vicious circle. With a trick I managed to disable Easy updates manager, but it took me quite a while.

    Regards Jan

    Hi Jan,

    There are ways that you can prevent plugins updating but it’s generally not a good idea.

    Can you post your php error logs so we can try and see why this happening?

    Thanks for your reply. Well I re-installed the plugin which caused the error, and do not have a log of previous errors. I think it was caused by an older version of php and the concerning plugin. Would at that moment have been nice, if I could easily disable the update plugin, but these are rare cases. Never occurred before. So lets say it’s solved.
