hide plugin update notification wordpress

To hide the plugin update notification in WordPress, follow these steps:

1. Log in to your WordPress admin dashboard.
2. In the left-hand menu, click on "Plugins."
3. Locate the plugin for which you want to hide the update notification and click on "Edit" below its name.
4. In the plugin editor, find the main plugin file. This file typically has the same name as the plugin and ends with a .php extension.
5. Scroll through the code until you find the function that displays the update notification. This function is usually named something like "display_update_notification" or "show_update_notification."
6. Surround the entire function code with an if statement that checks if the current user has the necessary capabilities to update plugins. For example:

if (current_user_can('update_plugins')) {
    // Function code goes here
}

1. Save the changes to the plugin file.
2. Repeat steps 3-7 for any other plugins you want to hide the update notification for.

By following these steps, you can hide the plugin update notification in WordPress for specific plugins. This can be useful if you want to prevent certain users from being notified about available updates or if you prefer to handle updates manually.
