[Plugin: SpeakUp! Email Petitions] disabling updat e notification

Version 2.1 of speakup email petitions only adds compatibility with a proprietary extension, so I have neither desire nor need to update. But I don’t like looking at the update rotor at the top of the page. I found

…

/** Prevents continuous notification of updates for specified plugins */
function filter_plugin_updates( $value ) {
unset( $value->response[‘speakup-email-petitions/speakup-email-petitions.php’] );
return $value;
}
add_filter( ‘site_transient_update_plugins’, ‘filter_plugin_updates’ );
…

and added it to the end of wp-config.php as suggested, and the eternally irksome update wheel is gone!
