WordPress Plugin – Hide Update

24 Dec 2009 at 10:56 by Andy

Sometimes you need to be able to hide the update notices in the WordPress admin pages. One example is when your clients have sufficient admin access to see them, but you don’t want them to try an upgrade and risk destroying the site if something goes wrong. A little knowledge is a dangerous thing, right?

Warning: Be careful that you don’t forget to carry out updates as a result of installing this plugin!

There is a plugin available which hides the main update notice (the full-width one below the admin header bar), however it does not hide the other notices. My plugin does. It simply adds CSS to set the various notices to { display:none; }.

Requirements

WordPress 2.8.0 or newer, PHP 5.0 or newer.

Tested on WordPress 2.8.6 running on PHP 5.2.9.

Download

zigpress-hide-update.1.0.zip (version 1.0)

Changelog

Version 1.0 (24 Dec 2009) : Initial public release

If ever there is a need to release a further version, this post will be updated.

Problems? Other feedback? Please comment.
