Keeping your WordPress plugins updated is important for security, performance, and compatibility. However, in some cases, you may not want a plugin to update automatically.
For a travel website using the WP Travel plugin, automatic updates may sometimes affect custom settings, design adjustments, third-party integrations, or booking-related functionality. To avoid unexpected changes, you can disable auto-updates for the WP Travel plugin and update it manually after checking compatibility.
What Happens After Disabling Auto-Updates?
After disabling auto-updates, WordPress will still notify you when a new version of WP Travel is available. However, the update will not be installed automatically.
You can review the update, check the changelog, create a backup, and then update the plugin manually.

Step 1: Log in to Your WordPress Dashboard
