Sometimes newer isn’t always better.
You won’t always want to update a given plugin. Perhaps the design has been changed, or a bug has been introduced. Maybe it has been taken over by someone new and they’ve added loads of obnoxious ads or other sneaky monetisation methods. Or perhaps you just like it the way it is.
However, WP keeps telling you there’s a new version available, and lists it along with other plugins which you may actually want to update.
What happens if you accidentally update? At best, it’s a tedious downgrade process, at worst it may completely mess up the data that the plugin was using. In any case, it’s a pain and there’s no ignore update function in WP.
Until now!
IMPORTANT – You should only leave a plugin updated if you know what you are doing, familiar with the risks and willing to accept the consequences should an unpatched vulnerability be exploited on your site.
The plugin author cannot be held responsible for any loss or damages that occur as a result of using this plugin to disregard software updates!

WP Disables Updates allow you to disables plugin or themes or translation or wordpress core updates.
Major features :
<ul>
<li>Disable plugins updates.</li>
<li>Disable themes updates.</li>
<li>Disable translation updates.</li>
<li>Disable WordPress core updates.</li>
</ul>
PS: Used there features if you know what you are doing. No updates = Security holes, but sometimes updates may break your website. 
WordPress has added a quite convenient feature since version 3.7: Automatic update.
But sometimes, updates can be a real problem for your website. 
It is important to make updates to avoid security problems, but you must be very careful when applying updates. 
For example, if you use a prenium theme and you have not made a child theme for the changes. If the theme requires an update, it may delete all your changes and lost working hours….
But be careful, it’s to be used, if you know what you’re doing. You have to be on the lookout for changes made to the plugins. 
If a correction has been made to fill a security hole or just to improve the plugin.

WP Disables Updates

A simple and effective plugin to turn off WordPress update notifications selectively. I have found two uses for this so far:

1. When a premium theme is broken and is erroneously reporting that there is an update available and there is not.
2. When you want to disable certain update notifications on a production site because you prefer to test them locally, commit them to your repository and push the changes to production.

Simple and Works

WP Disables Updates allow you to disables plugin or themes or wordpress core updates.
