WordPress keeps updating despite having auto updates disable

    I am running WordPress 5.6.2 with the W3 Total Cache plugin and WordPress keeps updating despite having updates disabled in my wp-config.php via the following code:

    define( ‘AUTOMATIC_UPDATER_DISABLED’, true );

    The code is just below the database table prefix to make sure it is one of the first things to execute.

    I also installed the “Easy Update Manager” plugin to see if that would work but still no luck and hosting says it isn’t anything on their end.

    Is there anything in the W3 Total Cache plugin that might be causing interference with this?

    Thank you!

    Hello @happyday25

    I am sorry about the issue you are experiencing and I am happy to assist you with this.
    First to confirm this is not related to W3 Total Cache.
    The line you added defines ( ‘AUTOMATIC_UPDATER_DISABLED’, true ); completely disable all types of automatic updates, core or otherwise.
    You can add Constant to Configure Core Updates by adding this line of code in your wp-config.php file:
    define( ‘WP_AUTO_UPDATE_CORE’, false );
    This will disable all automatic WordPress core updates.
    Thanks!

    Hi @vmarko, thank you for the quick response. It turns out it I had some settings wrong on my security plugin and I think it is fixed now.
