When a new version of WordPress is available, a message asking you to update your WP installation is displayed on your dashboard. Even if you better update, sometimes you may want to hide this message. Here is how to do it.
To get rid of the "Please update now" message in your WordPress dashboard, simply paste the following code on your functions.php file.
if ( !current_user_can( 'edit_users' ) ) {
add_action( 'init', create_function( '$a', "remove_action( 'init', 'wp_version_check' );" ), 2 );
add_filter( 'pre_option_update_core', create_function( '$a', "return null;" ) );
}
Thanks to Joost de Valk for this great code snippet!

You can also do this by setting the $options array in the includes/update.php file.
All you have to do is set the $options['available'] to false.
don’t know where you put that piece of code.. i’m not a programmer fortunately;
so i’ve just put
.update-nag {display:none !important}
to
\wp-admin\css\wp-admin.css
= no notification.
Hmm it appears like your site ate my first comment (it was super long) so I guess I’ll just sum it up what I had written and say, I’m thoroughly enjoying your blog.
I too am an aspiring blog blogger but I’m still new to the whole thing. Do you have any tips and hints for newbie blog writers? I’d genuinely appreciate it.
Worked for me.
