disable update for wordpress plugin named Dropbox Folder Share

Question

I have found the following plugin. Dropbox Folder Share which is licensed under the GNU General Public License.

In the plugin I have made some minor changes. mainly added my language. but i have also changed som other things.

How can I ensure that the plugin will not be updated. so I lose my changes

Answer 1

The nicest way to do it would be to hook into 'site_transient_update_plugins'.

function so_filter_plugin_updates( $value ) {
    unset( $value->response['dropbox-folder-share/dropbox-folder-share.php'] );
    return $value;
}
add_filter( 'site_transient_update_plugins', 'so_filter_plugin_updates' );

A hacky way to do it would be to change the version number in the plugin to something ridiculously high, like 9999.999.
