Disable the “please update now” message in WP dashboard

Security is indeed a crucial aspect of a website and you should always update all blogs you manage to prevent any risk of hacking. But when working with clients, sometimes you may want to hide the “please update now” message generated by WordPress when a new version is available.

Simply add this code to your functions.php file to hide the message.

if ( !current_user_can( ‘edit_users’ ) ) {

add_action( ‘init’, create_function( ‘$a’, “remove_action( ‘init’, ‘wp_version_check’ );” ), 2 );

add_filter( ‘pre_option_update_core’, create_function( ‘$a’, “return null;” ) );

}
