Automatic updates for WordPress are enabled by default when creating a cPanel account. However, if your project requires a specific version of WordPress, cPanel allows you to disable automatic updates, giving you the option to manually install updates. If you'd like to turn off automatic updates, please follow the guide below.
Enter cPanel - If you don't know how, you can follow this guide.
In cPanel, look for the File Manager option under the Files tab.
Within the File Manager, look for public_html, then within the directory look for wp-config.php.
Right-click wp-config.php and click Edit. A pop-up, will appear, click Edit to proceed.
Within the file, you will input the following:
define( 'WP_AUTO_UPDATE_CORE', false );
Once you have put the above in the file, click Save Changes.
Congratulations! You've successfully disabled WordPress automatic updates.
