Will automatic updates still work if a plugin is disabled everywhere?

    Hi guys,

    I have a couple of commercial plugins that I’m not using at the moment, but that I want to keep updated. However update checks only work for commercial plugins when
    they’re active.

    I thought your plugin might be a good solution- I can leave these plugins activated but prevent them from loading anywhere (disable them for REST API, admin pages, normal pages etc). That way they’ll still get updates but won’t impact frontend or backend performance.

    Do you see any issues with this idea? And will update checks still work if I disable a plugin everywhere, including admin pages?

    Thanks!

    It is guessed that the update of the commercial plug-in is not an update from the normal wordpress official website, but is performed by a program in the plug-in itself.

    If an update check is included in the plugin itself, it will not be possible to check for updates unless it is running at least on the admin page (backend).
