Patchalume Update Manager

Patchalume Update Manager gives site owners control over automatic updates and which administrator accounts can manage updates.

By default, automatic updates for WordPress core, plugins, themes, and translations are disabled. Each category can be configured independently. Manual plugin and theme updates can be denied globally or for selected installed items through WordPress capability checks. WordPress update candidates and update data are not modified.

Choose which administrator accounts may access the Updates screen, install plugins, and use the built-in file editors. Until an account is selected, all administrator accounts retain access to prevent an accidental lockout. Other users cannot access these controls.

The optional schedule temporarily hides update counts and notices through a selected site-local date. It does not prevent an authorized administrator or an external tool from applying updates.
