Can’t Turn Off Automatic Updates

    I have a website that I took over from someone else. I cannot turn off automatic updates. I check all the boxes, hit the dropdown, and select disable automatic updates but nothing changes and they’re still on. Is there somewhere else that’s maybe forcing the updates to stay on automatic?

  • Thank you for reaching out for assistance with your WordPress site. To disable automatic updates, you will need to modify the wp-config.php file, which is located in the root directory of your WordPress installation.

    Please follow these steps:

    1. Open your wp-config.php file in a text editor.
    2. Locate any line that defines WP_AUTO_UPDATE_CORE. If such a line exists, ensure it is set to false as shown below:
      define('WP_AUTO_UPDATE_CORE', false);

      If you do not find this line, you can add it above the line that says /* That's all, stop editing! Happy publishing. */.
    3. Save the changes to your wp-config.php file and then try again.


    This change will disable all automatic updates. Thank You…!

    Feel free to contact us if any inconsistencies are found in it.
