Disable WordPress Auto Update

  • i recently got an email from WordPress (telling me that it has Updated to version 4.3.1).

    I checked my email, (and YES, it has autoupdated) without my knowledge.

    I cant find anywhere in the WordPress WPadmin to Switch off Auto Updates (for wordpress).

    i want to be able to back up my site before wordpress updates.
    it worries me that WordPress can just update without asking me.

    is there any way to Switch off the Auto-Update for WordPress ?

    Thanks

  • You can add this near the bottom of wp-config.php:

    /**
** Disable All Automatic Updates /*toggle on/off*/
define( 'AUTOMATIC_UPDATER_DISABLED', true );

    You might also want to check at your host to see whether updates are being instigated from there. BlueHost, for example, recently added that as part of its new “WordPress Tools” Add On at cPanel.
