Starting WordPress 5.3, WordPress added an e-mail verification step that will come into action about every six months. This step is to validate if the used e-mail address is still in use. On sites with large amounts of users, this can be a very handy feature. On sites with just one user, it can be considered an unwanted nag. This ultra lightweight plugin switches this feature off.
This is an UltraFast plugin. Meaning there is no settings screen. No database connection. No input / output. It’s just a single line of code.

We thank the WordPress team for introducing these checks in 5.3, knowing there are a lot of usecases where this check is important.

Automatic upgrades on live sites are, we think most people would agree, a Bad Idea. You can’t test them before they go live; they’ll play havoc with your version control system, if you’re using one; and if they fail or screw up, your live site is broken. Bad. Idea.
Enter Staunch. Staunch makes you stick to best practice for upgrades, by preventing even admins and superadmins from running WordPress’s automatic upgrade processes on your live site.
When you want to upgrade WordPress, you can do so on a local or development install of your site; after you’ve tested it and made sure everything’s okay, you can then deploy the site as you usually would — through version control, FTP, or something else.

Staunch

A WordPress plugin to prevent automatic updates on your live sites.
