Disabling WordPress Automatic Updates
Wordpress 3.7 or over has an automatic updates function.
There are users who run WordPress for clients and have their own ways to update WordPress when a new version is available. Lastly, there are users who just want to do their updates manually and have more control over it.
Open wp-config.php file and add:
define( 'WP_AUTO_UPDATE_CORE', false );
This will disable the WordPress automatic updater, and you will still get notified when there is a new version available, so you can update at your own convenience.
