Prevent WordPress plugins from auto updating

April 30, 2013

We recently added a simple ecommerce option to a WordPress site (www.parkfarm.co.uk) using the great ‘Simple Cart and Buy Now’ plugin.

However I did have to make some tweaks to it – namely to allow the client to add their basic shipping cost and to make the Add to Cart button *just* add to cart and not take the customer to the product page.

It all worked wonderfully – until the client decided to update all the plugins.

Lo and behold my new customisations vanished and customers were buying without a delievery cost. Oops.

Luckily I had a backup of the changes I had done and could restore the plugin to its former glory.

But how to prevent the plugin from telling the admin user to update again?

Luckily I found this post below which did the trick.

(Note it has a second part as well. Make sure you do that if your plugin already thinks it needs updating.)

 You have interpreted what I wanted to achieve perfectly considering what you have to play with i.e not redoing the whole thing in the process.

@HMRCcustomers Will do - thanks for the swift response

@HMRCcustomers I've submitted Self Assessment repayment requests multiple times over the past 6 months (always waiting 4 weeks between) and never has anything happened. There seems to be no way of tracking or chasing them either. Now, of all times, this is important

Apologies to all clients who have had website issues today. There was a major outage for our hosting company @cloudabove but, as always, they have been fantastically open and transparent about what's going on and are working hard to restore service.
