Dedicated Support<\/strong>\nFor quick support and assistance, please contact us<\/a><\/p>\n\n UpdateGuard - WordPress Update Control Plugin<\/strong><\/p>\n\n Need to disable automatic updates WordPress applies without warning? UpdateGuard is a free WordPress site maintenance plugin that helps you manage WordPress plugin updates safely using semantic versioning.<\/p>\n\n As a WordPress update control plugin, it lets you allow patch and minor updates while blocking major releases that can break your site. It is a safe WordPress updates tool for agencies, developers, and site owners who want to prevent automatic plugin updates WordPress runs by default.<\/p>\n\n Who Is It For?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n Semantic Versioning Levels:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n Update Control<\/strong><\/p>\n\n Monitoring & Notifications<\/strong><\/p>\n\n Site Maintenance<\/strong><\/p>\n\n UpdateGuard is a WordPress update manager plugin and safe WordPress updates tool that controls automatic plugin, theme, and translation updates using semantic versioning.<\/p><\/dd>\n Set your global policy to Patch or Minor to block major updates. Use Hold on individual plugins to prevent automatic plugin updates WordPress would otherwise apply to those plugins.<\/p><\/dd>\n Yes. Configure global and per-plugin rules, block manual bulk updates that violate your policy, and manage WordPress plugin updates from one dashboard.<\/p><\/dd>\n UpdateGuard is a WordPress core update blocker companion for plugin and theme maintenance. It controls plugin, theme, and translation updates with semantic versioning. Use WordPress built-in core settings alongside UpdateGuard for full site protection.<\/p><\/dd>\n No. UpdateGuard is not a rollback WordPress updates plugin. It prevents risky major updates before they are applied, reducing the need for rollbacks. Always back up your site before updating.<\/p><\/dd>\n UpdateGuard is a free WordPress site maintenance plugin for safe update management. Use it with a staging site: test updates on staging first, then apply the same policy on your live site.<\/p><\/dd>\n Open UpdateGuard settings and set each plugin to Major, Minor, Patch, or Hold in the per-plugin table. Overrides apply on top of your global default.<\/p><\/dd>\n Semantic versioning uses MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH (e.g. 4.2.1). Major means breaking changes, minor adds compatible features, patch contains fixes and security updates.<\/p><\/dd>\n Major updates can break themes, plugins, or custom code. Blocking them lets you review and test before applying.<\/p><\/dd>\n It works best with plugins that follow semantic versioning and have official WordPress.org slugs.<\/p><\/dd>\n WordPress checks for updates every 12 hours via cron. UpdateGuard filters these checks against your policy.<\/p><\/dd>\n No. WordPress only auto-updates active plugins.<\/p><\/dd>\n Yes. It blocks both automatic and manual or bulk updates from the Plugins page if they violate your policy.<\/p><\/dd>\n Hold blocks all updates for that plugin: major, minor, and patch.<\/p><\/dd>\n The \"Check and Update Plugins Now\" button runs an immediate bulk check using a separate test update level, independent from your global policy.<\/p><\/dd>\n Yes. UpdateGuard registers in Network Admin and settings apply network-wide.<\/p><\/dd>\n Yes. Notifications cover applied updates, blocked updates, and new pending updates. Changelog links are included.<\/p><\/dd>\n All settings and data are removed from the database.<\/p><\/dd>\n Yes. Enable automatic theme and translation updates independently via checkboxes in settings.<\/p><\/dd>\n\n<\/dl>\n\n\n\n
