    Can someone please tell me how to stop these core auto-updates? I tried editing the .htaccess, guess that don’t work. It’s like Microsoft took over WP or something.
    Next update – Pay us $50/month to access your site.
    Disappointed! =(

    >> Next update – Pay us $50/month to access your site. << That’s absurd and just trolling.

    This is configurable. See https://ww.wp.xz.cn/support/article/configuring-automatic-background-updates/

    Weird I actually tried the that
    define( 'automatic_updater_disabled', true );
    in the wp-config.php file and it didn’t work.
    Maybe I need to put it inside the { } things.
    I’m kinda dumb like that. Would be nice just to have it in the control panel..
    Looked like this since the last update..

    /** Sets up WordPress vars and included files. */

require_once ABSPATH . 'wp-settings.php';
define( 'automatic_updater_disabled', true );

    That’s I think what I was referring to with the .htaccess comment.

    Thanks!

    you need to move it to *before* the “stop editing” comment in wp-config.php. Also, the contents of the defined string should be all in caps.

    This has nothing to do with .htaccess.

    Thank you for clarifying. I’m dumb like that..
    Much appreciated!

    I put it below the keys and salts. Maybe that will work.

    
/**#@-*/
define( 'automatic_updater_disabled', true );
/**
