Disable All WordPress Updates and Theme Editors is a handy tool that allows you to not only disable all types of WordPress updates but also allows you to disable WordPress theme and plugin editors.
So, this plugin is developed with an intention to prevent all types of accidental modifications that can happen on your site without your knowledge thus keeping your site safe all the time.
By default, all types of automatic updates are enabled on WordPress – Be it plugin, theme and even WordPress itself. All of these updates happen automatically in the background without requiring your consent or permission. Although it is always advised to keep WordPress updated, during an automatic update, your site can undergo a lot of changes to a point that can even break your site. And the last thing you want is that your customers see a broken version of your site. So it is always advisable to plan updates carefully by testing them on a staging environment first and then deploying them on the live site.
Apart from the updates, there are times when an amateur developer working on your site can try editing files directly from your dashboard using theme editor or plugin editors offered by WordPress. Sometimes changes made through these editors can badly break your site.
As a bonus, we also added a functionality that allows you to Disable WordPress’s default Gutenberg block editor and Manage Debug mode on WordPress This plugin uses the highly reliable and tested <a href="https://github.com/wp-cli/wp-config-transformer" rel="nofollow ugc">wp-cli/wp-config-transformer</a> command for writing constants to wp-config.php.

WP Auto Updater plugin enables automatic updates of WordPress Core, Themes, Plugins and Translations. Version control of WordPress Core makes automatic update more safely.
<h4>Features</h4>
<ul>
<li>Automatically update WordPress Core</li>
<li>Automatically updates Themes, Plugins and Translations</li>
<li>Set up a schedule automatic updates</li>
<li>Disable automatic updating of each Themes and Plugins</li>
<li>Record update history</li>
<li>Update notification</li>
</ul>
Important: before updating, please back up your database and files.
<h4>Auto Update Scenario</h4>
First of all, we will make an Auto Update Scenario which decide the policy of WordPress automatic updates.
You can choose from the following five automatic updates of WordPress Core.
<ul>
<li>Minor Version Update</li>
<li>Major Version Update</li>
<li>Minor Only Version Update</li>
<li>Previous Generation Version Update</li>
<li>Manual Update</li>
</ul>
<h4>Minor Version Update</h4>
Minor Version Update enable minor updates. Minor updates is default behavior in WordPress for security updates. The transition of the version number is as follows: update from 4.8 to 4.8.1, 4.8.2 …
<h4>Major Version Update</h4>
Major Version Update enable major updates. The transition of the version number is as follows: update from 4.7 to 4.8, 4.9 …
<h4>Minor Only Version Update</h4>
Minor Only Version Update enable major updates and minor updates except version x.y.0. It make sense to take a “skip” approach to avoid introducing new vulnerabilities into the latest major version release.
Update the WordPress Core version (eg. x.y.1 or later) with security fixed. Not automatically update the latest major version of x.y.0. The transition of the version number is as follows: update from 4.7.z to 4.8.z, 4.9.z … skiped 4.7.0, 4.8.0, 4.9.0 …
<h4>Previous Generation Version Update</h4>
Previous Generation Version Update enable major updates and minor updates except the latest major version. It make sense to take a “wait and see” approach to ensure the latest major version release is stable before.
With the installed WordPress Core version as 4.6.z. If the latest WordPress Core version released to 4.8.0, automatically update it to version 4.7.z. It will be always automatically updated to the previous generation WordPress Core version with probably security fixed.
<h4>Manual Update</h4>
Manual Update disable automatic updates. You update WordPress Core manually on the Dashboard Updates Screen.
Automatic updates and manual updates are available for themes, plugins and Translations. 
It is also possible to disable automatic updating of each Themes and Plugins.
<h4>Scheduled automatic updates</h4>
Next we will set up a schedule for automatic updates. 
The update interval can be selected from the following four.
<ul>
<li>Twice Daily (12 hours interval)</li>
<li>Daily</li>
<li>Weekly</li>
<li>Monthly</li>
</ul>
You can also set the day, the day of the week, the hour and the minute of the Update Date.
At the time of automatic update, Automatically updates WordPress Core, Themes, Plugins and Translations to be updated.
