Disable All WordPress Updates and Theme Editors is a handy tool that allows you to not only disable all types of WordPress updates but also allows you to disable WordPress theme and plugin editors.
So, this plugin is developed with an intention to prevent all types of accidental modifications that can happen on your site without your knowledge thus keeping your site safe all the time.
By default, all types of automatic updates are enabled on WordPress – Be it plugin, theme and even WordPress itself. All of these updates happen automatically in the background without requiring your consent or permission. Although it is always advised to keep WordPress updated, during an automatic update, your site can undergo a lot of changes to a point that can even break your site. And the last thing you want is that your customers see a broken version of your site. So it is always advisable to plan updates carefully by testing them on a staging environment first and then deploying them on the live site.
Apart from the updates, there are times when an amateur developer working on your site can try editing files directly from your dashboard using theme editor or plugin editors offered by WordPress. Sometimes changes made through these editors can badly break your site.
As a bonus, we also added a functionality that allows you to Disable WordPress’s default Gutenberg block editor and Manage Debug mode on WordPress This plugin uses the highly reliable and tested <a href="https://github.com/wp-cli/wp-config-transformer" rel="nofollow ugc">wp-cli/wp-config-transformer</a> command for writing constants to wp-config.php.
This plugin serves as a single solution to five major problems on your WordPress site. Thus saving you effort and time to install and configure multiple extra plugins to accomplish all of these! This plugin allows you to disable or manage –
<ul>
<li>Disable All major and minor updates of WordPress.</li>

Updatronix logs every core, plugin, theme, and translation update that WordPress processes. It records version snapshots, trigger types, and technical details, and stores everything in your site’s database.
The plugin also provides auto-update controls that save directly to native WordPress options, email routing for built-in notification emails, and detection of <code>wp-config.php</code> constants that override update behavior. It does not replace the WordPress update engine, perform rollbacks, or connect to external services.
<h4>Update logging</h4>
<ul>
<li>Record the name, slug, type, and status of every update.</li>
<li>Store version-before and version-after snapshots for each event.</li>
<li>See what triggered each update — a manual action, the automatic update system, or a file upload.</li>
<li>Review the technical process messages that WordPress generates during the upgrade.</li>
</ul>
<h4>Auto-update controls</h4>
<ul>
<li>Set core updates to apply all versions, minor releases only, or manual-only mode.</li>
<li>Toggle auto-updates for individual plugins and themes using the same options WordPress reads natively.</li>
<li>View <code>wp-config.php</code> constants (such as <code>WP_AUTO_UPDATE_CORE</code>) that override your settings, so you can spot configuration conflicts.</li>
</ul>
<h4>Email routing</h4>
Updatronix filters the notification emails WordPress sends — it does not create a separate notification system.
<ul>
<li>Redirect core update alerts, auto-update notices, and recovery mode emails to the recipients you choose.</li>
<li>Select which event types trigger a notification.</li>
</ul>
<h4>Failure tracking</h4>
<ul>
<li>View log entries even when an update fails due to a server timeout or fatal error.</li>
<li>Review error details that the shutdown handler captures for manual recovery.</li>
</ul>
<h3>Privacy Statement</h3>
Updatronix does not collect, store, or transmit personal data to third parties. There are no external service dependencies or telemetry. All update logs stay in your site’s own WordPress database.
<h3>Accessibility Statement</h3>
Updatronix aims to be fully accessible to all of its users.

Updatronix


This simple plugin solve my problem of having unwanted updates, both for plugins and for WordPress.And with the logs I can keep track of what is updated and when, this is quite important to clarify some workflow.I once used a similar plugin, but It was way heavy and was more "brute-force".


Lightweight and convenient


Great plugin to log updates! Update log interface is clear and easy to navigate, making my updates tracking way more convenient. Combined with the mail routing options, it's a nice setup to keep an eye on eventual issues with auto-updates. I would love a one-click option to access the update details though. 


Simple and clear updates logging

Log every WordPress update with version details, manage auto-updates through native settings, and route notification emails to chosen recipients.
