Clarifying plugin functionality

    Just looking for some clarification with regard to what the product does and doesn’t do, as follows:

    – With regard to core updates, does the plugin disable automatic background updates, updates from the WP Admin Dashboard/Updates page, or both?
    – If I’m using an external management console such as WP Remote, iThemes Sync, etc., will the plugin prevent these platforms from performing core, plugin and sync updates?
    – Can this plugin replace similar/related plugins I have used in the past, e.g. Advanced Automatic Updates and Plugin Protector? I’d really like to standardise on a single plugin for all these update/protection related functions.

    If you select the Disable Core Updates setting and the Disable Background Updates setting, it will do both.

    If I’m using an external management console such as WP Remote, iThemes Sync, etc., will the plugin prevent these platforms from performing core, plugin and sync updates?

    This is a very good question. Recently I actually signed up to iThemes Sync and have been meaning to test this. Disable Updates Manager appears to not block updates on iThemes Sync so I would assume that it would block updates on other remote Dashboard managers. As for on that would just change the look of your dashboard, it should disable those updates.

    I will look into adding a feature to disable the updates on iThemes Sync.

    Can this plugin replace similar/related plugins I have used in the past, e.g. Advanced Automatic Updates and Plugin Protector? I’d really like to standardise on a single plugin for all these update/protection related functions.

    This plugin will disable all types of updates no matter what other plugins are installed. I have tested it with Advanced Automatic Updates, and it blocks the updates still.
