Plugin Update Message Customizer changes the default “There is a new version of PLUGIN available.” message on WordPress’ Plugin listing page.
This is useful for multiple scenarios: 
* If using WordPress within a dev/staging/live production environment, this plugin is great to install on the live and staging servers so that end users won’t update a plugin and therefore break the tracked remote branch. 
* On sites where you only want specific users to update the plugins, this will prevent users from clicking “update now.” 
* If you want to add additional options (e.g., “View version X.Y.Z details, update now, or mark as in testing.”) to the plugin new version message, e.g., “mark as in testing” to let others know the plugin is currently being tested and they should not yet update it on production.
Of course, other plugins and functions would prevent all plugin notifications. However, for the average user who logs into their live/production site instead of local/dev, this would still allow them to see that updates EXIST, however will just prevent them from performing them in an environment they should not be updated in.
Upcoming features: 
* Backwards compatibility (to be tested starting with WordPress 4.5) 
* Ability to hide the number of plugins with updates next to “Plugins” in admin sidebar) 
* Ability to hide all update notifications 
* Ability to prevent all automatic updates 
* Action on plugins with update message to apply the label “In testing,” which lets other users know that the plugin’s update is currently being tested in dev 
* Functionality to hide the plugin in the Plugins listing page

This plugin completely disables the theme, plugin and core update checking system in WordPress. The plugin prevents WordPress from 
checking for updates including cronjobs, and prevents any notifications from being displayed.
It’s very important that you keep your WordPress theme, core and plugins up to date! If you don’t, your blog or website could 
be susceptible to security vulnerabilities or performance issues.
If you use this plugin, make sure you keep yourself up to date with new releases of your active WordPress version, plugins 
and themes and update them as new versions are released (simply by deactivating this plugin for a short time).

Thank you for your service to speed and sanity Oliver! 🙏



This instantly solve a large amount of unnecessary Admin speed issues. ⚡️




Just try it for a few minutes, and compare your Admin speed before and after activating!



Set yourself up a separate Wordpress instance with the free MainWP plugin, and use that for managing all your site updates automatically, manually, or a mix from there instead.




I've been working with Wordpress for about 15 years. This is the way. 💪


Very site should use this with a separate MainWP instance for updates 🥰

Disables the theme, plugin and core update checking, the related cronjobs, plugin/theme update health checks and notification system.
