If you’re in charge of maintaining a church, ministry or client website, you know how frustrating it can be for someone who has administrative permission to update plugins.
Normally, this isn’t a problem, but sometimes this can lead to a broken site. I’ve had modded plugins updated, before, so you can image my relief when I found I had a backup. Modded plugin update = plugin modification gone!
Another situation arose when a non-profit contacted me with some web issues. Their website was broken. The reason? Plugin updates.
There are obviously a number of good reasons to prevent WordPress form checking if your plugins need updating. I would first try using a user role editor or some other work around to avoid misguided plugin updates, as plugin update notifications are by nature a good idea.
However, there’s always an exception, especially if you have multiple site Admins.
