Plugin doesn’t respect disabled auto updates

    I’ve noticed that sites using your plugin are receiving automatic updates of your plugin, even though automatic updates are disabled. So please stop doing that!

    Automatic updates are disabled using this filter:

    add_filter( 'plugins_auto_update_enabled', '__return_false' );

    Until that is resolved (if it’s an issue), you could temporarily disable all automatic updates using the wp_config.php option listed here: https://developer.ww.wp.xz.cn/advanced-administration/upgrade/upgrading/#configuration-via-wp-config-php by using:

    define( 'AUTOMATIC_UPDATER_DISABLED', true );

    It’s what I have and nothing updates automatically including all plugins. It does keep showing you that updates are available. Granted, I do always check for updates and apply them after I have backed-up my database and files first (well WordPress core updates anyway.. plugins I typically just update).

    Managing updates is my core business {website maintenance), so I know how to update and how to disable automatic updates. I’m using a mu-plugin for that, as its easier to manage for 300+ sites.

    Plugins just should not try to overrule that by creating their own automatic update settings without respecting existing settings.

    This plugin and others from the same company have caused more headaches more often before, so I’m glad that many of my clients moved away from GA already and this plugin will probably be removed from some more sites.
