I am testing plugin upgrades on a staging instance before applying them to production. But if there are any delays in this process, I may end up being prompted to upgrade to a newer, untested version on production.
If prompted to upgrade a plugin, how can I choose an intermediary update, rather than the latest?
Using WP-CLI you can specify this as described in the official documentation.
$ wp plugin update <plugin>
Using either of the following arguments
--minor
Only perform updates for minor releases (e.g. from 1.3 to 1.4 instead of 2.0)
--patch
Only perform updates for patch releases (e.g. from 1.3 to 1.3.3 instead of 1.4)
--version=<version>
If set, the plugin will be updated to the specified version.
