Support » Fixing WordPress » Automatic update of WordPress. I want to stop this.

  • My WordPress was automatically updated and I want to stop this so that I can retain control over when this happens. I cannot find a setting for this in WordPress. Anyone know where this is so I can turn it off?

    There’s no setting you can select directly, but you can add

    define( 'WP_AUTO_UPDATE_CORE', false );

    to your wp-config.php

    for details see: http://codex.wordpress.org/Configuring_Automatic_Background_Updates

    Thank you, cubecolour. I will try that and watch on the next update whether it works or not. I will post the results.

    I did not find a wp-admin.php in my files to modify. But in the link you listed I found that I could disable all automatic updates by adding to the wp-config.php file:

    define( ‘AUTOMATIC_UPDATER_DISABLED’, true );

    I went with that. Thank you.

    Oops – I did mean wp-config.php – I’ve now corrected it in my post above for the benefit of anyone landing on this topic via a search
