Disable Updates for WordPress Core, Plugins and Themes

How well this listing is tuned to rank in WordPress.org search, on the factors an owner controls. Not popularity, optimization.

Directory rank vs rivals

wp.org popularity rank over time · higher is better · when a rival's line climbs above yours, they've overtaken you

How often this plugin actually ships. A steady rhythm is the maintenance signal a single "last updated" date can't show.

Share of active installs on each version of this plugin · 58% run the current release. Green is the current release; a big slice on older versions is a user base that has stopped updating.

Modeled within the band wp.org reports; tightens as we track daily.

No paid tier is visible, so we don't put a figure on revenue or sale value: that would be guessing. The install base is a real asset to an acquirer, just not one public data lets us price.

Reviewers like how simple and effective it is, though one wants per-plugin control instead of disabling all updates at once.

   This plugin does what is says but it doesn’t give any choosing option at all. I don’t want to disable updates for all plugins. Found this plugin which provides more flexibility disabling core, updates, and as well gives options to choose for blocking specific plugin updates.https://wordpress.org/plugins/disable-email-notification-for-auto-updates/ This topic was modified 1 year, 7 months ago by santoshsth1.
