# Cannot disable auto update

 * WordPress 5.5 core provides for auto updates. It is supposed to default to disabled.
   This plugin not only defaults to enabled, but it refuses to be disabled.
 * There are solid cases to be made for using manual updates, including hands-on
   review of what to update, the ability to create a backup before updating, and
   the ability to immediately review the impact of the update on the site.
 * The WP backend interface provides for disabling auto updates. This plugin refuses
   to comply.
 * The plugin author’s top post “DO NOT POST ISSUES HERE! (Please Read)” points 
   to another place to post issues. I looked there. It is completely off target 
   for an issue like this.
 * Unless it is cited as a serious security issue, I generally do not install updates
   that are less than 1 day old. I had, in fact, just looked at my site’s backend
   and saw that a brand new update was available. I opted to not install it yet.
   About 15 minutes later I received an email notification that the plugin had updated
   itself.
 * THIS IS NOT ACCEPTABLE BEHAVIOR.

 * It does not work at all.
    I will contact your live help during hours tomorrow.
 * I have screenshots of the system ready to apply Disable and the result after 
   applying, with “auto updates enabled” still visible.

 * I have this same issue. I manually update my sites, but this plugin has automatic
   updates enabled and I can’t turn them off in any way, how can I disable this 
   behavior?
 * Thanks in advance.

 * It seems that this plugin has its own auto update setting, not the one provided
   in the Plugins admin page with the auto updates column.
 * If you go into a cf7 form that is using it, then go to the “ChimpMatic Lite” 
   tab.
 * Scroll down to the bottom, click “show advanced settings”.
 * You will find an option in here:
