another option (instead of messing around with filters):
in theme-my-login.php
near the top you will find
Version: 6.4.11
change to
Version: 1006.4.11
and updates will not show up / be updated until version > 1006.4.11 is being released which is unlikely to be the case in our lifetime
(yeah, you’d be editing core files, but in this case that should not matter as you do not want to update the plugin anyway)
it’s something that works for me anyway (and i have used in several unrelated cases in the past) and just thought i’d share that possibility
PS: obviously , you can change that version number to whatever you like. personally i like to keep some sort of reference to the original version before i do/did this (hence i tend to simply increase it by 1000)
Plugin author states he will be issuing security updates for 6.4, so updating the version number may not be the best option.

maybe i’m missing a trick here (quite possible), but would you not have to check for updates to the v6 branch manually anyway as wordpress would only inform you of the latest updates (i.e v7+ )?
(would be happy to stand corrected on that front. maybe there’s some clever thing one/he can do within the readme or main plugin file header or something – though i must admit i never needed to find out so have not looked in too much detail)
Hi @jaspercat,
We understand that you feel upset about having to pay for the extensions, so we would like to mention that you can now get the legacy extension files for free: https://wordpress.org/support/topic/theme-my-login-7-free-extensions/
