Today I've manually updated my website Wordpress version from 5.0.0 to 5.0.2. Since these updates are not automatic, I'm puzzled by the meaning of this message that appears now at the top of my dashboard (please check attached screenshot):

"You have the latest version of WordPress. Future security updates will be applied automatically."

So, since I haven't changed any setting, what's the meaning of this message? Updates will still be applied manually or can occur automatically? Thanks.

• Why are they not automatic? Have you disabled them? – Krzysiek Dróżdż Commented Jan 4, 2019 at 12:32
• The WP site I'm handling doesn't have auto-updates enabled, at least for WordPress itself, plugins & themes - I have to manually update them in dashboard. I don't know if this is the default WP behavior, since I have not installed/maintained this site from the very beginning. – João Fernandes Commented Jan 4, 2019 at 12:46
• OK, so I would check how exactly these updates were disabled. WP checks if auto updates are enabled, when it displays this message, so something is not right... – Krzysiek Dróżdż Commented Jan 4, 2019 at 12:58

Since version 3.7 WordPress has automatic background updates.

By default, only minor releases – such as for maintenance and security purposes – and translation file updates are enabled on most sites. In special cases, plugins and themes may be updated.

Of course, as with many things in WP, you can modify that behavior with config or filters.

So to disable these automatic updates, you can:

1. Add this to your wp-config.php file:

   define( 'AUTOMATIC_UPDATER_DISABLED', true );

2. Or disable only core updates (also in wp-config.php):

   define( 'WP_AUTO_UPDATE_CORE', false );

3. Or use one of these filters:

   add_filter( 'automatic_updater_disabled', '__return_true' ); add_filter( 'auto_update_core', '__return_false' );

So check your site for any of these...
