Disable vs. enable auto updates

    Question… I have been using Easy Update Manager to disallow WordPress core updates. In addition, I have turned off auto updates for all of my plugins and theme as well. Problem is, I do not get notified when an update is available. It’s only when I deactivate the plugin that all the update warnings appear.

    I need a fix for this. I do not want WordPress core updates to be automatic, and I want to be notified that plugin and theme updates, and core updates, are available. I just need to be able to perform backups prior to any huge updates.

    Any help would be most appreciated!

    Thanks!

    The plugin is apparently blocking update notices along with the actual updates, so just deactivate/delete it and then place this near the bottom of wp-config.php:

    /**
** Disable All Automatic Updates /*toggle on/off*/
define( 'AUTOMATIC_UPDATER_DISABLED', true );
/**
* That's all, stop editing! Happy blogging. */

    Then also, if you wish, you can use a plugin such as WP Crontrol to adjust the frequency of update checks:
