## Description
There are cases where we might not want to update a plugin right away.
* It can be a major version jump, possibly with edge-case bugs or deprecated features.
* It can be a minor version jump, which doesn’t always justify a diff to make sure
custom hooks still work.
* It can just be because we want to wait a few days, to let other people confirm
that everything works correctly (or to check that nobody is screaming “broken
site” in the support forum).
Whatever the reason, it could be helpful to temporarily hide these updates. Unlike
other update management plugins, Ignore Or Disable Plugin Update works on a version-
per-version basis.
Ignore Or Disable Plugin Update adds an “Ignore update” link in the WP Plugins listing
page, and on the WP Updates page.
You will be able to:
* Ignore a plugin update for a chosen amount of days
* Ignore a plugin update until the next version
* Permanently ignore all future updates for any plugin
* Completely disable all plugin updates
* Unignore plugin updates at any time by going in the “Plugins”->”Ignored Updates”
WP menu
* Control admin notifications
* [Premium] Automatically delay the apparition of plugin updates
* [Premium] Integrate WordFence to get security warnings on your installed plugins(
WordFence plugin and plan not required)
* [Premium] See warnings from the “Plugins” and “Updates” pages
* [Premium] Automatically unignore vulnerable versions
* [Premium] Prevent ignoring vulnerable versions
* [Premium] Get informed in real time by email
#### Multisite
The free version of the plugin is **not** compatible with multisite. For multisite
compatibility, you will need the Premium Business Plan.
#### Plugin auto-updates
Our plugin will respect your plugin auto-update settings. You won’t be able to ignore
specific plugin versions if auto-updates are activated.

## FAQ
### Will this plugin slow down my site?
It will have no impact on site speed whatsoever. The plugin only launches for users
that have the ability to update plugins.
## Reviews
### [Very handy for managing plugin updates](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/very-handy-for-managing-plugin-updates/)
[Nic Windley](https://profiles.wordpress.org/nisiwi/) October 1, 2024 1 reply
Managing plugin updates for large complex sites can be a real pain. This makes things
a lot more pleasant. Often we identify bugs and are forced to roll back some plugins
whilst other updates are working fine. The option to prevent an update until the
following release is especially useful, although we can do this in our global WP
management tool (across all sites if needed), it doesn’t yet reflect in the plugin
admin interface of each site. It would be good to see this integrated into WordPress
management tools.
