WordPress auto-updates are cool and all… but what if your site breaks unannounced in the middle of the night because of one?<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
You were asleep, you did not notice, and it was a good 10 hours until you understood what was going on. By that time, your customers had already gone elsewhere.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Okay, a brutal story, but it does happen!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As convenient as WordPress auto-updates are, they are not always the best idea. Or, at least, you should have more control over how those updates work, what should and should not be updated automatically, and, most of all, how to stay safe!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In this post, I cover all this and show you how to disable WordPress auto-updates (for your plugins, themes, and core), plus how you can take it further and effectively manage all your WordPress updates.<\/p>\n\n\n \r\n
