Suppress theme update reminders in Wordpress
If, like me, you use a theme for your Wordpress installation, and if, like me, you were too lazy to create a child theme when you edited the theme, you might find yourself being reminded from time to time about theme updates when you don't want to, or can't, update your theme.
To get rid of the reminders without having to update your theme is easier than you might think - Wordpress simply checks your current version against the latest available version, so all you have to do is fool it into thinking that your current version is the latest version.
