You can make use of the Easy Updates Manager plugin which allows you to manage your WordPress updates.
Alternatively, you can add this line to your wp-config.php file:
define( 'WP_AUTO_UPDATE_CORE', false );
Hope this helps.
Hi,
You can disable automatic updates in WordPress by adding below mentioned line of code in your wp-config.php file:
define( ‘WP_AUTO_UPDATE_CORE’, false );
That will solve your purpose.
Looking forward to hear from you.
thank you all for your replies.
One quick question. If this define(‘WP_AUTO_UPDATE_CORE’, false ); isn’t added and even if this define(‘WP_AUTO_UPDATE_CORE’, true ); doesn’t exist in the file, do auto updates to WP still happen?
Yes, but only for minor updates.
Configuring Automatic Background Updates
The core developers made a conscious decision to enable automatic updates for minor releases and translation files out of the box.
Hope this helps.
Ok, thanks. I’ll have to add it then.
