How does WordPress know when a particular plugin needs updating? Does this only work with plugins registered in the official plugin directory?
WordPress compares a number of attributes of the plugin, such as the title, the author, the plugin URL, and the filename with the plugins hosted on the official WordPress Plugin Directory. Once it has decided that the plugin is one hosted in the directory then it compares the version numbers to see if a newer version is out.
Yes it only works with the official WordPress Plugin Directory.
Nice plugin, very good for the OCD!!
It appears this plugin is not working with 2.8. Any plans for a fix?
Hi Randy, I’ll look into it this week.
Version 1.3 out which adds support for WordPress 2.8.
i would highly recommend this and the core update plugins. There is absolurely no reason why queries outside of the local domain need to be made every time a page is opened. This is just unnecessary traffic and in many case greatly slows loading times. You should be able to query for updates not have then shoved down your throat at every move.
Hi John
Great plugin thanks!
Can I make a suggestion for 1.4? How about allowing the admin to disable updates to only certain plugins, not just all of them?
Thanks
Nick :)
Thanks for the feedback Nick. That’s a good idea but to be honest with you it’s unlikely I’ll be implementing that as it will require considerably more than the handful of lines of code in the plugin currently.
If you want to prevent update notifications showing for certain plugins, you can always edit the plugin and change its version number to ’999′ (don’t forget to make a note of the actual version in case you need to know it).
Hi John
Thanks for the reply.
The only reason I wanted to be able to disable updates for certain plugins anyway, was because I’ve heavily customized a couple of them for clients and I didn’t want them to inadvertently overwrite them.
I’ll use the “Version # 999″ trick instead.
Elegant and simple – that works for me!
Cheers and thanks again
Nick :)
Ah, that 999 trick is a nifty one, thanks for that piece of information. I use one customized plugin and while the update-notion isn’t that irritating I’m glad to get rid of it.
Another great plugin just like Disable WordPress Core Update. Thanks again.
