    I have installed with option 22, which include auto updating of plugins in Wordpress. I have now issues with a new version of a plugin that creates conflicts with other vital plugins. So I want to disable auto updating of this plugin.

    How can I accomplish this?

    I think I got it. This should work?

    crontab -e
    #0 */8 * * * sleep 186s ;/root/tools/wp_updater_psykolog.nu.sh >/dev/null 2>&1

    to disable updating of all plugins?

    unfortunately only way is to right now manually editing your auto update cronjob script /root/tools/wp_updater_${vhostname}.sh where ${vhostname} is your domain name

    find line that says
    Code (Text):
    /usr/bin/wp plugin update --all --allow-root | tee .wpcli-status

    edit it to below as per wp plugin update | WordPress Developer Resources to add option --exclude=yourpluginname
    Code (Text):
    /usr/bin/wp plugin update --all --exclude=yourpluginname --allow-root | tee .wpcli-status
