Last updated 9 months ago

In general, the automatic updates in WordPress are beneficial, and we recommend that most users keep them enabled, particularly for security updates. However, there are instances where disabling some or all automatic updates might be advantageous for a WordPress user.

The primary reason to disable WordPress automatic updates is that they can occasionally cause issues on a website.

You can do this in a few steps:

  • Access the wp-config.php file by going through; WP Dashboard>> File Manager>> example.com (main domain folder), also known as/public_html directory.

  • the wp-config.php file, then find and add the following line of code at the end of the file before the /* That's all, stop editing; define( 'WP_AUTO_UPDATE_CORE', false );.

Save changes.
