Updates for disabled plugins? | WordPress.org

Hello everyone!

I have some plugins deactivated on my site, for future use.
However, I just realized that at the update section of WordPress (/wp-admin/update-core.php) it only checks and shows updates for the plugins that are enabled.

Is there a way to force a check for all the installed plugins, even if they are disabled?

Please let me know.
Thanks!

You shouldn’t really have plugins you are not using “hanging around on the site”. Just imo.

You can be explicit in your functions file, see here :

I know that I shouldn’t have installed inactive plugins but I leave some for the time being.
I don’t want automatic updates.
I want to manually update.

The problem is that the udpates do not show in the update section, as I said in my first post and that’s what I want to change/have.

This is not default behaviour, so something is over-writing that.
Do you have JetPack installed ?
Can you share your URL?

No, I do not have Jetpack.

I will see if it’s a plugin conflict.
