This tool is for site administrators and developers who need to prevent specific plugins from updating. It provides a controlled way to maintain a stable environment by stopping both automatic and manual update checks for chosen plugins.

Plugin List Control: Define which plugins to block by adding their file paths to a simple configuration in your site's main configuration file. This centralizes control.

Permanent Block: The update block is persistent and applies to all update mechanisms within the admin area, including the updates page and automatic background checks.

Non-Destructive: The tool works without modifying the plugin files themselves. This preserves the original code and avoids conflicts during manual file comparisons or future installations.

Simple Installation: It can be installed as a standard plugin or managed as a Composer dependency, fitting into modern development workflows.

Configuration via Constant: Management is done by setting a single constant, making the setup easy to document, version control, and replicate across different environments like staging and production.
