@magicpowers Look, I am a volunteer here and I am telling you that you confused me with the post I linked to about an hour and a half ago. Replying with all caps is very childish. You do not know what is confusing for me or others here. I am telling you what confused me just let it go since the thread is resolved. We can both learn from this to ask better questions and communicate better there is no need to post in all caps saying “I started.. so I finish…”

Good luck to you.

My apologies for thinking you were a new user.

I must say though that you did “muddy the waters” with this post: https://ww.wp.xz.cn/support/topic/disable-auto-updates-link-missing-on-themes-wp-5-5/#post-13259450

You basically said it worked but it did not, so I provided you a different method and said this usually needs to go in wp-config.php since I do not know which plugin you are using and therefore can not support you with the plugin.

I agree we can move on from this exchange. You are welcome, I am happy to support any time that’s why I am here.

I think what you are not understanding here is that the code that crashed your site when using it in the code snippets plugin never would have worked in any code snippets plugin and is the same code that I provided here in this thread later when you said that the code provided in my link crashed your site. Also, the link I provided originally is not something I originally wrote it is just something I found in google that had the accurate information. When I provided the define code right here in this thread I did say it goes in wp-config.php very clearly if you read my post above.

Anyhow, I am glad that you see this as resolved now. Happy Blogging.

I actually did answer all of your questions already. Nothing was ignored. Let me attempt to answer them again. This “very simple issue” (in your words) was fixed before the release of 5.5 that is why the code exists to allow you to disable it. It is not our responsibility to maintain plugin code if a plugin is out of date and breaks that is the responsibility of it’s developer to update that code so it works with the new hooks that are being provided for 5.5, if they don’t that is their decision.

As far as I know if you do not insert any code auto updates will run. Period, end of story.

If however you insert the code from the article in your theme it will disable auto updates according. The article has code for disabling theme and plugins auto updates. Your other option is to use the code I provided in my later post and place it in the wp-config.php file.

Hope this clears up your confusion.

You are using a plugin. Plugins are supported by their developers. There are a large number of code snippet plugins. Many are no longer supported and have not been for some time.

This thread is posted in a board that is for CORE WP Support not support for your plugin. Yes, you are looking to disable a feature of CORE but you want to add the code into a plugin therefore you need to contact the plugin developer for support. If you would share with us the exact plugin you are using we can better guide you to the right place for support.

Again, I implemented the original code and the code I provided the second time on 30 different sites with no problems. Therefore the problem are having was one of two things:
1) User error implementing the code provided
2) outdated plugin that does not work with 5.5.

I am sorry you feel otherwise but the fact is that there is no problem and it is the plugin developers responsibility to make sure their plugin works with the most recent version of wordpress.

To be clear, the problem I was having was not the same exact issue you are having… but it’s always a good idea to clean cookies and cache when having issues after an update.

You need to contact your theme developer…. you can do so here:
