Introduction
On rare occasions (ideally never but sometimes you can't help it) you may find yourself in a situation where you don't want a specific WordPress plugin to get updated. Maybe there was a breaking change introduced in a new version, or maybe you had to customize a plugin to meet a specific need (I'm so sorry). In any case you may find yourself wanting to disable updates for a specific plugin.
The Code
You can put this code in your theme's functions.php file to prevent the specified plugins from being updated. Make sure to replace plugin-directory/main-plugin-file.php with the path to the plugin(s) you want to disable updates for.
functions.php
