Hi I downloaded this plugin so i could STOP other plugin’s from updating by them selfs. But now i can see they thy do just that anyways??? How do i stop them tom updating without my approval “by clicking”. Thanks https://wordpress.org/plugins/automatic-updater/ By default, plugins don’t update themselves. Could you provide a list of the plugins that have automatically updated without you clicking on them? Hi I had a message that there was a update for FV WordPress Flowplayer. I haven’t updater it, and now its up to date with the latest version. It seems like this plugin may be downloading its own updates, which is against the WordPress plugin directory policy. I’ll pass it onto the review team for further investigation. Thanks for pointing it out! But is there a way to block plugins from updating? I just don’t want to wake up on day and then my site is down but I don’t know witch plugin it is that made it go down. Thanks

By default, plugins don’t update themselves. Could you provide a list of the plugins that have automatically updated without you clicking on them?
