How to Disable Automatic Updates in WordPress

Written by Rajendra Dewani
Leave a Comment

Yesterday Night I received an email

Howdy! Your site at https://www.dewani.net has been updated automatically to WordPress 3.8.2.

No further action is needed on your part. For more on version 3.8.2, see the About WordPress screen:
https://www.dewani.net/wp-admin/about.php

If you experience any issues or need support, the volunteers in the WordPress.org support forums may be able to help.
http://wordpress.org/support/

You also have some plugins or themes with updates available. Update them now:

The WordPress Team

For my Blog, this was not an issue but for few of the other websites which I handle, automatic update could be an issue.  I have customized few things likes Feed or Few of the Plugins may not be compatible and may break those website.

So, here is how you can disable auto updating of WordPress.

Edit the file wp-config.php and add this one line code to your file

define(‘WP_AUTO_UPDATE_CORE’, false);

disableautoupdatewordpress

 

For More Details Refer  : http://codex.wordpress.org/Configuring_Automatic_Background_Updates

Constant to Disable All Updates

The core developers made a conscious decision to enable automatic updates for minor releases and translation files out of the box. Going forward, this will be one of the best ways to guarantee your site stays up to date and secure and, as such, disabling these updates is strongly discouraged.

To completely disable all types of automatic updates, core or otherwise, add the following to your wp-config.php file:

define( 'AUTOMATIC_UPDATER_DISABLED', true );

Constant to Configure Core Updates

To enable automatic updates for major releases or development purposes, the place to start is with the WP_AUTO_UPDATE_CORE constant. Defining this constant one of three ways allows you to blanket-enable, or blanket-disable several types of core updates at once.

define( 'WP_AUTO_UPDATE_CORE', false );

WP_AUTO_UPDATE_CORE can be defined with one of three values, each producing a different behavior:

  • Value of true – Development, minor, and major updates are all enabled
  • Value of false – Development, minor, and major updates are all disabled
  • Value of 'minor' – Minor updates are enabled, development, and major updates are disabled

Yes, I know there are lot of hosting provider which offers free hosting for website
Like

  • http://www.freehostia.com/free-chocolate.html
  • http://byethost.com/index.php/free-hosting
  • http://www.000webhost.com/

But those do not provide scaling or may not be able to run Ruby on Rails

Well, I came across a new service called “AppFog” which is very Nice and has flexibility to Scale.

How to change Database Limit on SQL Server

Written by Rajendra Dewani
4 Comments

I had an hosted SQL Server Database, the hosting company had an limit of 200 MB for each db.
Then I moved to another hosting company which had virtually no such limit.
I backed up database and restored to new hosting.
After few days, my database crossed 200MB and all my queries were failing.

I noticed the database still had limit of 200MB,
Changing the limit via Management Stuido did not help ( as it was not showing up the File Option )

So here is the statement which helped me.

ALTER DATABASE [dbName] MODIFY FILE ( NAME = N’DB_Name_data’, MAXSIZE = UNLIMITED)
