Hi Andrew,
Thank you for the response.

Plugins are an option, but they can create other conflicts.

As my associate Jan stated above, we are aware of adding a code to the wp-config file and have done so.

But, whether a code or a plugin, it seems like a back-end solution to something that could easily be addressed in the front-end.

Searching the web, I have found many WordPress customers/users that have had issues due to untimely or unwanted updates. It also seems that the vast majority had no idea about adding a code to the wp-config file.

With respect – since this is a request/feedback page, we are not really looking for a technical work around. This post was opened to highlight, something that caused a major problem for us with a client, and to further suggest a solution that respects the owner of the site – a simple option to allow/deny auto updates.

Thank you,
Robert

Hi James,
Yes – the wp-config.
I now know this, but as stated in the initial post “too little to late”; we were not ready for this issue today.

I do appreciate what the developers at WordPress have accomplished – it’s amazing!

That said, few businesses would expect an update, that could adversely effect it’s site, without an advanced notice and approval from various departments. We thought we had a backup plan but that was updated as well…

So, moving forward and back to topic, PLEASE consider an option of disabling “auto upgrade” within the program itself.

Thanks,
Jan

Hi James,
Appreciate the fast reply and clarification.
Whether they are major or minor updates,if they effect a site and it’s business then it should be in the hands of the owner.

All due respect.
Sincerely,
Robert
