## Description

This plugin is a fork of `Disable All WordPress Updates` plugin. Like that plugin,
Core Updates Permission completely disables the theme, plugin and core update checking
system in WordPress. The plugin prevents WordPress from checking for updates including
cronjobs, and prevents any notifications from being displayed. The one significant
difference is that this plugin also allows you to pick and choose administrators
that _can_ have the ability to make updates.

It’s _very_ important that you keep your WordPress theme, core and plugins up to
date. If you don’t, your blog or website could be **susceptible to security vulnerabilities**
or performance issues.

If you use this plugin, it’s a good idea to give one administrator the ability to
see update notifications to keep up to date with new releases of your active WordPress
version, plugins and themes and update them as new versions are released.

## Installation

 1. Download the plugin and unzip it.
 2. Upload the folder disable-wordpress-updates/ to your /wp-content/plugins/ folder.
 3. Activate the plugin from your WordPress admin panel.
 4. Edit Your Profile or that of an administrator that you want to see updates. Look
    for `Core Updates Permission` and choose `Yes` to give the ability to see core 
    updates.

With activating the plugin all theme, core and plugin update checkings are disabled.
You can then provide certain administrators with the ability to see the update notifications
by editing their profile. Usually, you want to only give developer administrator
accounts this ability.
