“Updating is globally disabled”

    Hi,
    At the status page I see “Updating is globally disabled” and “Auto updates” is in “Disable” mode.

    I use WP 5.5.
    To avoid the double updates and emails, I disabled the 5.5 auto-update feature by adding a line of
    define( ‘AUTOMATIC_UPDATER_DISABLED’, false );
    to the wp-config.php file.

    Is this line is the reason to the plugin’s above status?
    Is it hurting anything?

    I did this to disable the WordPress auto-update, to use only your plugin for updates.

    Hi,

    That line will disable all auto-updates, including this plugin.
    You can just remove that line, this plugin will overwrite WordPress’ core behavior and use the settings you set in this plugin.

    If you go to the setting under “Notifications” and uncheck “Core notifications” you won’t get any of the emails sent by WordPress.

    I see. Please just change this label to be “WordPress Notification”. Core hints to core WP upgrade, which is more specific. Thanks.

    Also consider adding a text near this global disable notice, to direct folks to the fact they need to clear this line from wp-config to re-enable the plugin’s activity.

    That might be a good idea. We’ll consider it for the next release 🙂

    I watched the text now and it doesn’t mention that it will also send WP emails for plugins and theme (from version 5.5), so it really needs update (with note about what changed at WP 5.5), Thanks.
