I want to disable all updates in my website. I have set below variable in wp-config.php file.
define( 'automatic_updater_disabled', true );
define( 'wp_auto_update_core', false );
But I don't know why, every other day it keeps on updating itself, which breaks some of my code.
Does any one know how to disable the updates PERMANENTLY !
By default, WordPress can automatically update itself when a security or minor release is available.
For major releases, you have to initiate the update yourself. You also have to install plugin and theme updates yourself.
Wondering if you are on Managed Wordpress hosting??
IF YES then that's where those updates are happening automatically.
You can Hosting support to not update without confirming with you.
define( 'AUTOMATIC_UPDATER_DISABLED', true );
define( 'WP_AUTO_UPDATE_CORE', true );
Disable automatic WordPress plugin updates:
add_filter( 'auto_update_plugin', '__return_false' );
Disable automatic WordPress theme updates:
add_filter( 'auto_update_theme', '__return_false' );

On some hosting platforms you install Wordpress as an 'App' through something like Installatron. This has settings about updating Wordpress too, you may want to check for this in your hosting backend/dashboard.
It looks like this
Where it says My blog it will probably say Wordpress. If you click edit below, it has some settings about updating.

I have updated Wordpress Avada theme in my website. After updating I found the top menu has disappeared.
It's has appeared in dashboard but not in font end. Please kindly give me solution for this issue.
First, dou you have any plugin to disable the frontend menu? Please check it.
If not, please deactivate and activate the Avada Theme and try it again.
When these both solutions not working please enable WP_DEBUG in wp_config like so:
define( 'WP_DEBUG', true );
define( 'WP_DEBUG_DISPLAY', true );
Please check if there is any error in the frontend after you refresh the page.
I am trying to disable the Woocommerce Setup Wizard but not having any luck. On a WP MU install it asks users to install plugins which is not possible for subsites. And then it asks admins to choose a theme that’s located on wordpress.org so that installation is not possible either. I need to disable this wizard. I am using the code below but it does not work. I am still being redirected to the setup wizard when I go to Woocommerce>Dashboard.
add_filter( 'woocommerce_enable_setup_wizard', 'disable_wizard' );
function disable_wizard(){
return false;
}
This should prevent the wizard from triggering:
add_filter( 'woocommerce_prevent_automatic_wizard_redirect', '__return_true' );
If you want to allow WooCommerce to trigger the wizard later, you can enable it again:
add_filter( 'woocommerce_prevent_automatic_wizard_redirect', '__return_false' );
As of today I cannot make changes in my pages, update my plugins anymore.
Since I only have a .pem file, I have followed this tutorial:
https://aws.amazon.com/premiumsupport/knowledge-center/ec2-password-login/
I created a password for the ubuntu user which is the admin.
I tried logging in using Filezilla and can access using this new password.
I can write into the:
var/www/jimclermonts/wp-content/plugins
Sometimes making changes in a page is not possible and another moment it works again.
open your wp-config.php file and paste following code
define( 'FS_METHOD', 'direct' );
inside it after define( 'DB_COLLATE', '' ); it will solve your problem.
example:
define( 'DB_COLLATE', '' );
define( 'FS_METHOD', 'direct' );
Without changing anything WordPress version updated from 4.9.4 to 4.9.5. on Azure server.
Please let me know how this happened?
It is an auto-update. (as already show in the image you posted)
By default, only minor releases – such as for maintenance and security purposes are auto-updated but they are configurable. This is the recommended behavior.
However this can be prevented by defining certain constants or by applying filter hooks
To completely disable all types of automatic updates, core or otherwise, add the following to your wp-config.php file:
define( 'AUTOMATIC_UPDATER_DISABLED', true );
You can also disable all automatic updates using the following filter:
add_filter( 'automatic_updater_disabled', '__return_true' );
It is also possible to allow the partial updates.
The detailed instruction can be found in the link https://wordpress.org/support/article/configuring-automatic-background-updates/
does this line of code disables all updates?
define( 'AUTOMATIC_UPDATER_DISABLED', true );
I mean, all core, minor, plugin, themes, etc.?
Yes it will disable the automatic installation of new updates but It will still check for new updates and display them.
If you're going to apply some patches you can still do it manually.
