Disable WordPress Auto Updates with a Snippet

WordPress updates itself and other plugins by default and without asking you. This might sound great until an update breaks your site.

To avoid that and ensure your site’s stability, you can disable WordPress auto updates using a snippet. You can disable all WordPress updates, but you can also disable updates for just themes or just plugins.

Below is the code snippet from the video used to disable WordPress auto updates:

//add_filter('automatic_updater_disabled', '__return_true')

add_filter('auto_update_plugin', '__return_false')
add_filter('auto_update_theme', '__return_false')
