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!

Newer Not Better

Prevents selected plugins bugging you about updates

If plugin notifications and inline warnings are getting in your way, activate the WP Nag Hide Plugin and it will give you the option to hide the update notifications and plugin warnings in your admin panel. It ONLY hides the notices at the top of the admin pages, it does NOT hide the notices under a plugin on the plugins page.
Some notifications of course can be closed or dismissed for a period of time manually, and some can be useful to know. The WP Nag Hide plugin gives you the power to globally hide notifications or just individual plugins that are causing the nags!
A simple, lightweight plugin that even works on WP multisites.
