WordPress is very popular and most used CMS in the world. Many times we do some custom development with wordpress so we need to disable automatic updates of wordpress. Sometimes when we update the wordpress then it will break your site. It is very important, when you update the worpdress version with wordpress updates. You need to test the updates on local box or QA box first.

disable automatic updates of wordpress

For disable the automatic the update you need to open the wp-config.php file and put following into that file.

define( 'AUTOMATIC_UPDATER_DISABLED', true );

After adding above line automatic updates will be disabled and If you want to do the wordpress update then you need to update the wordpress installation manually.

I think, before every wordpress updation. First the take the database and filesystem backup and then test on local box. Then do the wordpress version updation.

social media bookmark in wordpress without javascript

All scripts and social media plugin add extra javascript code to site. I have best solution for adding social media bookmark in wordpress without javascript.

social media bookmark in wordpress without javascript

I used many types for social bookmark plugins for sharing the content. I tried a some best services like those provided by AddThis and ShareThis. All the scripts and social media bookmarks are adding the some extra javascript code to website. Some social media buttons will add the swf/ flash code to website which to too heavy. So Adding the multiple javascript files for each social media bookmark is not a good solution.

My suggestion is, use anchor links with parameters added to the href attribute (which is basically what you get anyway once those JavaScripts have done their work).

Following code are important in wordpress for sharing the content to social media sites:
<?php the_title(); ?> // It will return the Post/Article Title
<?php the_permalink(); ?> // It will return the Post/Article Permalink or URL
<?php the_excerpt(); ?> // It will return the Post/Article Description
<?php the_post_thumbnail(); ?> // It will return the Post/Article Thumbnail Image
