How To Disable Update Notifications In WordPress

Are you creating a WordPress website for a client which doesn’t require any updates? Then you may want to disable update notifications in WordPress. An update notification would look a bit scary to the client, so removing it is a better idea.

Just put the following code into functions.php file of your current theme:

//Disable Theme Updates
remove_action( 'load-update-core.php', 'wp_update_themes' );
add_filter( 'pre_site_transient_update_themes', create_function( '$a', "return null;" ) );
wp_clear_scheduled_hook( 'wp_update_themes' );

//Disable Plugin Updates
remove_action( 'load-update-core.php', 'wp_update_plugins' );
add_filter( 'pre_site_transient_update_plugins', create_function( '$a', "return null;" ) );
wp_clear_scheduled_hook( 'wp_update_plugins' );

//Diasable Core Updates
add_filter( 'pre_site_transient_update_core', create_function( '$a', "return null;" ) );
wp_clear_scheduled_hook( 'wp_version_check' );

You can also drop this code to disable update notifications for everyone except the administrators.
