Disable “WP-Content Writable” test from Health Checks

WordPress 6.3 adds the ability for failed plugin and theme updates to be automatically rolled back. The feature requires a temp directory in wp-content/ to function.

As part of this feature, a new Health Check is added to ensure that the WordPress content directory is found and writable. On WPVIP updates are managed via GitHub and wp-content is read-only so this check will always fail with a critical error stating “Unable to Locate WordPress Content Directory”.

This change removes the update_temp_backup_writable check from the Health Checks page by default to avoid the confusing, and non-applicable critical health check warning.

Disable “Available disk space” check added in WordPress 6.3

WordPress 6.3 adds a “Available disk space” check in the site health section. The check assumes self-managed and writeable filesystem. This check was disabled because it is not relevant on the WordPress VIP Platform and gives a bogus result.
