Disable Auto-Updates for a single plugin across multiple child sites?

Just to provide information about an alternative way to achieve this.

You can disable automatic updates for all plugins/themes on your child sites by using these filters:

add_filter( 'plugins_auto_update_enabled', '__return_false' );
add_filter( 'themes_auto_update_enabled', '__return_false' );

You can insert them into any number of child sites using our Code Snippets extension.
More information in this post.

And then, in the MainWP Dashboard, you can set the desired plugins/themes as Trusted. That way, MainWP will automatically update them when it detects an available update.
You can find more information about MainWP Advanced Auto updates in our help document.

And make sure to enable Plugin/Theme advanced automatic updates in the settings.
