WordPress Plugin – Notify Admin Only of WP Updates

Update: This plugin is tested and known to be working with WP 2.9.1

ok, with the release of WordPress 2.8.3 – if finally got around to upgrading my Notify Admin Only plugin to work with WP 2.8+

Download Plugin: Notify Admin Only v2.0

in case you’re not sure what this plugin actually does, well, it removes this text from the backend that says: “A new version of WordPress is available! Please notify the site administrator” – (see the images below).

great for admins who don’t want their many users to ever see the WordPress Update nag.

anyway the new code is really simple: (thanks Lazzymonk)


< ?php
function stop_wpupdate() {
if ( current_user_can('manage_options') ) {
return;
} else {
remove_action( 'admin_notices', 'update_nag', 3 );
}
}
add_action( 'admin_notices', 'stop_wpupdate', 1 );
?>


the old plugin is here and only works for WP 2.3 – 2.5 series.
