Disable WordPress Auto Updates Question

I know a little while back the WordPress auto update caught some people off guard, including myself, because they didn’t realize WordPress was auto updating.

I try to keep my plugin count down so I think I found something that will work, I just want to see what thoughts were on it from somebody that would know for sure if it works. I also was trying to stay out of the wp-config.php file just in case it would not stay in place with an update.

Place this in the functions.php:

add_filter( ‘automatic_updater_disabled’, ‘__return_true’ );

This is where I found it: http://www.wpwhitesecurity.com/wordpress-tutorial/guide-configuring-wordpress-automatic-updates/

If it works then this is a great simple fix.

Thanks for looking at it!!

Best of luck to all!!
