The Security & Ops section is where this page belongs. The date on it is June 21, 2009, one of 5 pages from that year kept on this site. There are 12 pages in that section at the moment.
It is a short piece and stays short. Nothing has been added to the wording to make it look longer than it is.
In date order it follows WordPress Plugin: Logout Password Protected Posts and comes before A Backup You Have Never Restored Is Not a Backup, which is how the section is meant to be read.
The thread under the original note was kept: 6 replies, left between 2009 and 2025.
Don’t forget you can also disable WordPress core updates and disable WordPress plugin updates too.
What follows below is the rest of the section, so a page that turns out to be too short to answer a question at least points at the pages next to it. Nothing here is restated from memory: a number without a source does not get printed.

Works great, thank you

If I disable this plugin temporarily on a ‘corporate wordpress set-up’ whilst I tinker with the theme, does my administrator get pinged?
thanks

Ptah: If you disable this plugin and there are updates available for your themes, then these will show up in the update counter on the site. That said, you don’t need to disable the plugin in order to edit your theme.
