Disable Automatic Updates. Wp-Config.php. Is It Like This?

    Hello
    I read to paste this
    define( ‘AUTOMATIC_UPDATER_DISABLED’, true );
    in wp-config.php to disable all automatic updates.

    The last two lines of my wp-config.php file are these:

    /** Absolute path to the WordPress directory. */
    if ( !defined(‘ABSPATH’) )
    define(‘ABSPATH’, dirname(__FILE__) . ‘/’);

    /** Sets up WordPress vars and included files. */
    require_once(ABSPATH . ‘wp-settings.php’);

    Should that be pasted after this last line?

    thank you
    D.

    I would advise to place it just above the line that reads:

    /* That’s all, stop editing! Happy blogging. */

    Hi
    thank you for your reply.
    Can you please tell me why that would be better?

    thanks

    Mainly because I use wp-cli and it expects to see those two lines as the last thing in the wp-config.php

    Ok thank you.
    If I disable automatic updates this way, will I still get notifications in my dashboard about updates so that I can choose when to apply them?

    Thanks

    Yes, it will notify you that updates are available.

    Ok cool, thanks.
    So just for double confirmation it would go like this:

    /**
 * For developers: WordPress debugging mode.
 *
 * Change this to true to enable the display of notices during development.
 * It is strongly recommended that plugin and theme developers use WP_DEBUG
 * in their development environments.
 */
define('WP_DEBUG', false);

define( 'AUTOMATIC_UPDATER_DISABLED', true );

/* That's all, stop editing! Happy blogging. */

    Thanks
    D.

    That would work, yes.
