    I find two versions all over the web, which one is correct?

    define('DISABLE_WP_CRON', 'true');

    or

    define('DISABLE_WP_CRON', true);

    Or does it even matter?

    Thanks.

    The info as presented directly from the Codex: https://codex.ww.wp.xz.cn/Editing_wp-config.php#Alternative_Cron

    In PHP, it actually doesn’t matter. Due to PHP’s type juggling, “true” == true. Oddly enough, the string “false” also equals a boolean true, so be careful with that.

    Your second example is more correct and less error prone.

    “true” is yet a third option… are you saying that works too? I have seen only

    define('DISABLE_WP_CRON', 'true');

    or

    define('DISABLE_WP_CRON', true);

    but not

    define('DISABLE_WP_CRON', "true");

    Thanks.

    In PHP, all of those are really identical.

    The most correct is this one: define('DISABLE_WP_CRON', true);

    PHP is a loosely typed language. Please read that link I posted earlier about type juggling to understand how it works.
