In WordPress 3.7, there is new Auto Update feature which automatically updates WordPress to newest version when a Stable version is released, but sometimes you might have done some editing to WordPress core files or for any other feature, then you can disable Auto Update in WordPress.
Personally I think this feature is good and helpful for most of the people, but if you are a developer or a WordPress user for business needs then you might need to disable it
If for any reason you want disable Auto update in WordPress then add the below code in wp-config.php :
define( 'AUTOMATIC_UPDATER_DISABLED', true ); |
After adding the code save the file, then all the auto updates for WordPress will be disabled, if you require a more Detailed Guide for Disabling follow this Topic on WP codex.
