Both ways are almost equal, the first will be slightly faster, because the callback is called only if the check equals to TRUE. Note you cannot test an option like this, unless the option name is really ‘my_option[option_1]’.

Inside the callback, the … Read more
You can remove you plugin from the updateble list with: add_action( ‘plugins_loaded’, function(){ add_filter( ‘site_transient_update_plugins’, function ( $value ) { if( isset( $value->response[‘google-analytics/google-analytics.php’] ) ) unset( $value->response[‘google-analytics/google-analytics.php’] ); return $value; }); }); Adding this filter will eliminate our homonymous plugin altogether from update checks.

You could accomplish this with a rewrite endpoint and a template filter. First, register a new rewrite endpoint for the page post type: function wpd_app_view_rewrite_endpoint() { add_rewrite_endpoint( ‘app-view’, EP_PAGES ); } add_action( ‘init’, ‘wpd_app_view_rewrite_endpoint’ ); Don’t forget to flush rewrite rules after adding this (or just visit the Permalinks > Settings page to do this … Read more
