<content:encoded>&lt;p&gt;When I stepped away from active management of Cranky Concierge, one of the things I wanted to focus on was the growth of &lt;a href=&quot;http://crankynetworkweekly.com&quot;&gt;Cranky Network Weekly&lt;/a&gt;. I’m proud to announce today that we’ve rolled out changes including a new tier and an entry-level price dropping from $25 to only $10 a month&lt;sup&gt;*&lt;/sup&gt;.  If you’ve ever been on the fence about becoming a subscriber, the time has come.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Every Friday night, &lt;a href=&quot;http://Cirium.com&quot;&gt;Cirium&lt;/a&gt; releases its weekly schedule update.  Courtney Miller from Visual Approach and I get together virtually to talk through all those changes.  Sunday afternoon, we publish the results of that discussion so that everyone can be ready Monday morning, armed with the biggest trends of the week.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;There are now three different tiers of reporting that we offer. Let’s start with the full-featured report:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;hr/&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;h2&gt;Cranky Network Weekly&lt;/h2&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p&gt;Our flagship report, &lt;a href=&quot;https://crankynetworkweekly.com/cnw/&quot;&gt;Cranky Network Weekly&lt;/a&gt;, remains the most in-depth and timely option available for those who want to keep tabs on airline network changes in the US, Canada, and México. You get all the schedule details and trends described in Cranky Network Basics and Trends below, but all of this is included in a PDF report that’s sent to you every Sunday afternoon. You see it before the others.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;In addition, subscribers have access to loads of charts and tables, including week-over-year and year-over-year capacity changes alongside geographical trends and airport overviews. Oh, is that not enough? Fine. CNW flagship subscribers score the right to get a ticket for the &lt;a href=&quot;https://crankyflier.com/category/cranky-network-awards/&quot;&gt;Cranky Network Awards held every year in February&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Let me guess… you want to see a sample?  Well, sure. Here’s &lt;a href=&quot;http://crankynetworkweekly.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/Cranky-Network-Weekly-2026_04_19-EjuOI.pdf&quot;&gt;the April 19 issue&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://crankynetworkweekly.com/cnw&quot;&gt;Learn more&lt;/a&gt; or sign up for the plan you need here:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://fs29.formsite.com/jpwKSy/wyy1jxkkw2/fill?id42=4&quot;&gt;Individual&lt;/a&gt; – $125 per month (for 1 person)&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://fs29.formsite.com/jpwKSy/wyy1jxkkw2/fill?id42=6&quot;&gt;Company&lt;/a&gt; – $500 per month (up to 10 people)&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://fs29.formsite.com/jpwKSy/wyy1jxkkw2/fill?id42=7&quot;&gt;Advisory&lt;/a&gt; – $750 per month (up to 10 people including a quarterly advisory call with me and Courtney)&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;p&gt;Are you an airport or a student? We have special options for you. &lt;a href=&quot;http://crankynetworkweekly.com/airports&quot;&gt;Airports can see theirs here&lt;/a&gt;. Students can email us at info@crankynetworkweekly.com for more information.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;hr/&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;h2&gt;Cranky Network Trends&lt;/h2&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p&gt;Our newest addition is &lt;a href=&quot;http://crankynetworkweekly.com/cnt&quot;&gt;Cranky Network Trends&lt;/a&gt;. This includes the weekly basic schedule changes listed below, but it also gives you access to the five weekly trends that we tease out of the data each week. The trends include both graphs and write-ups identifying the things that matter to you, all for $50 a month.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;This is certainly a step down from Cranky Network Weekly, but if you’re looking for great value at a lower price, this is the option for you. Just know that if timeliness is important, then you’ll want our flagship Cranky Network Weekly.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Want an example?  How about &lt;a href=&quot;https://crankynetworkweekly.com/the-cuts-begin-at-ohare/&quot;&gt;this sample trend&lt;/a&gt; looking at the always-exciting Chicago/O’Hare schedule changes that were published in recent weeks.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Subscribers will get a Cranky Network Basics email notification on Sunday plus one trend per day, Monday through Friday on each of the 48 weeks a year we publish. All emails will have a link to read the details on the CNW website.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://crankynetworkweekly.com/cnt&quot;&gt;Learn more&lt;/a&gt; or directly sign up for the plan that fits your needs:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://fs29.formsite.com/jpwKSy/wyy1jxkkw2/fill?id42=2&quot;&gt;Individual&lt;/a&gt; – $50 per month (for 1 person)&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://fs29.formsite.com/jpwKSy/wyy1jxkkw2/fill?id42=3&quot;&gt;Company&lt;/a&gt; – $200 per month (up to 10 people)&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;hr/&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;h2&gt;Cranky Network Basics&lt;/h2&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p&gt;Do you remember the old &lt;a href=&quot;https://crankyflier.com/category/schedule-changes/&quot;&gt;Skeds of Air Lines&lt;/a&gt; I published here during the pandemic? This is the heir to that. Just the facts, now for only $10 a month.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;You’ll get weekly access to a comprehensive list of all the changes that touch the US, Canada, and México. Ok, I say “all” the changes, but we don’t actually cover the teeny-tiny minutiae that doesn’t really matter to most people. (Want an example? We won’t tell you that Air Inuit went from 1x daily to 9x weekly this winter on Akulivik to Puvirnituq, but we will tell you that Rise Air is starting up a brand new Uranium City – Prince Albert route this summer.)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;But why should you trust me?  &lt;a href=&quot;https://crankynetworkweekly.com/the-weekly-basics-april-12-2026/&quot;&gt;Read a sample report&lt;/a&gt; from April 12 here.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Emails are sent when the report is ready each Sunday afternoon, and you can then log in to the CNW website to read. All this is now just $10 a month.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://crankynetworkweekly.com/cnb&quot;&gt;Learn more&lt;/a&gt; or you can sign up directly:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://fs29.formsite.com/jpwKSy/wyy1jxkkw2/fill?id42=1&quot;&gt;Individual&lt;/a&gt; – $10 per month (for 1 person)&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;hr/&gt;&lt;p&gt;Courtney and I are constantly thinking of ways to improve the report, and it has evolved a lot since we first started. We not only hope that you’ll sign up as a subscriber, but we hope you’ll actively give us feedback.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://crankynetworkweekly.com&quot;&gt;Subscribe today!&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;sup&gt;&lt;em&gt;*All pricing listed in this post was current as of May 6, 2026 but is subject to change.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/sup&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</content:encoded>

Retail staff can now select Pickup as the delivery method when creating an order in POS, making it easier to sell items that customers will collect at a later date.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;This new workflow helps merchants support common retail scenarios like made-to-order products, tailored items, customized goods, or items that need to be transferred before fulfillment. Once a pickup order is created, staff can use Shopify POS’s existing pick and pack workflow to prepare and fulfill the order when it’s ready.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Updates include:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;*&lt;em&gt;Pickup as a delivery option in POS: *&lt;/em&gt;Staff can now create pickup orders directly from the POS device. &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;*&lt;em&gt;Built into existing fulfillment workflows: *&lt;/em&gt;Pickup orders can be fulfilled using the current pick and pack workflow in POS. &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;*&lt;em&gt;Supports future fulfillment: *&lt;/em&gt;Staff can sell items that are in stock now or expected to be available later. &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;*&lt;em&gt;A more consistent retail workflow: *&lt;/em&gt;Store teams can manage pickup orders in POS without relying on Shopify Admin or workarounds. &lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;p&gt;This update closes a key gap between in-store selling and omnichannel fulfillment, giving retail teams a more reliable way to create and manage customer pickup orders directly from the sales floor.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;*&lt;em&gt;Access: *&lt;/em&gt;Available in POS v11.3 when the “Pickup in store” fulfillment method is enabled in the store. Admins can also set the “Fulfill shipping and pickup orders” staff permission in their admin under Sales channels &amp;gt; Point of Sale to control which staff can manage pickup orders.

<content:encoded>&lt;p&gt;As of version 5.5, WordPress &lt;a href=&quot;https://make.wordpress.org/core/2020/07/22/new-xml-sitemaps-functionality-in-wordpress-5-5/&quot;&gt;automatically generates an XML sitemap&lt;/a&gt; for your site’s content. The sitemap benefits your site by providing a simple “map” of all posts, pages, categories, tags, and more. This is useful for bots and humans, and is considered beneficial for &lt;abbr&gt;SEO&lt;/abbr&gt; and even &lt;abbr&gt;GEO&lt;/abbr&gt;. Even better, WordPress makes it easy to customize your sitemap as desired. For example, if you want to include or exclude certain pages, or even &lt;a href=&quot;https://perishablepress.com/wordpress-disable-wp-sitemaps/&quot;&gt;disable the &lt;abbr&gt;WP&lt;/abbr&gt; sitemap completely&lt;/a&gt;, there are &lt;a href=&quot;https://perishablepress.com/customize-wordpress-sitemaps/&quot;&gt;programmatic techniques&lt;/a&gt; (i.e., code snippets) for making it happen. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h3&gt;Add a directory without code&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Now that we’re on the same page, so to speak. This quick &lt;abbr&gt;DigWP&lt;/abbr&gt; tutorial explains how to add an external directory to the auto-generated WordPress sitemap. And by “external”, I’m referring to any directory that is not under the purview of WordPress (based on its &lt;abbr&gt;URL&lt;/abbr&gt;). More specifically, any directory or folder that you add manually to your site’s files.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h3&gt;Step 1: Requirements&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Okay let’s dig into it. For this non-code trick to work, the main requirement is that your site has &lt;strong&gt;permalinks enabled&lt;/strong&gt; (via the WordPress General settings ▸ Permalinks). So instead of query-string-based &lt;abbr&gt;URL&lt;/abbr&gt;s:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;pre&gt;&lt;code&gt;https://example.com/?p=123&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;
&lt;p&gt;..your site’s rocking keyword-rich “pretty” URLs:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;pre&gt;&lt;code&gt;https://example.com/ai-will-replace-the-internet/&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Other than permalinks, there are two other caveats:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Directory name consists of alphanumeric, underscores, and hyphens&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Directory location is within the site’s root directory&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;These requirements are explained further as we continue with the tutorial..&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h3&gt;Step 2: Add a directory&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Next add a directory to your WordPress site. Anywhere in the root directory of your site. For example, when I &lt;a href=&quot;https://perishablepress.com/shapespace-wordpress-theme-website/&quot;&gt;moved my shapeSpace WordPress theme&lt;/a&gt; from its own domain to Perishable Press, I added a directory named &lt;code&gt;/shapespace/&lt;/code&gt; to the site’s root directory. So the resulting directory path is this:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;pre&gt;&lt;code&gt;https://perishablepress.com/shapespace/&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Important:&lt;/strong&gt; for this non-code technique to work, the folder name must consist of only alphanumeric characters, underscores, and/or hyphens.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h3&gt;Step 3: Add new Page&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Next, visit the WordPress Admin Area and create a new page (via Pages ▸ Add Page). Make sure that the page has a URL/permalink slug that matches your directory path. So continuing with the &lt;code&gt;/shapespace/&lt;/code&gt; directory example, we would add a new page that is named &lt;code&gt;shapespace&lt;/code&gt;, which results in a permalink URL that matches the external directory. So both the directory and the newly added page have the &lt;strong&gt;same URL&lt;/strong&gt;:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;pre&gt;&lt;code&gt;https://perishablepress.com/shapespace/&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;That’s all there is to it&lt;/strong&gt;. Once you publish the new page, WordPress will do its thing and automatically add the new URL to your &lt;abbr&gt;XML&lt;/abbr&gt; sitemap.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h3&gt;Check it out..&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;As long as the external directory and WP Page have the same URL, your WordPress sitemap will include a link to your directory. And when you (or anyone, anything) follows the link, they will be taken to the directory, not the WordPress Page. To get a better idea of how it works, check out the &lt;a href=&quot;https://perishablepress.com/wp-sitemap-posts-page-1.xml&quot;&gt;pages sitemap&lt;/a&gt; at Perishable Press, and follow the link to the external &lt;code&gt;/shapespace/&lt;/code&gt; directory. Instead of pointing to the blank WP Page, the sitemap link points to the shapeSpace directory, which serves the &lt;a href=&quot;https://perishablepress.com/shapespace/&quot;&gt;shapeSpace homepage&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h3&gt;A few final notes&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This “codeless” way of adding directories to the &lt;abbr&gt;WP&lt;/abbr&gt; sitemap works seamlessly. The new URL appears in your site’s local search results and links to the external directory (not the blank WP Page). That means the contents of the WP Page never are displayed anywhere on the front end of your site. So you can add a note or whatever reminding your future self why this otherwise empty page exists ;)&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Note:&lt;/strong&gt; This no-code technique works whether WordPress is installed in the root directory or subdirectory. Just &lt;abbr&gt;FYI&lt;/abbr&gt;.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;p&gt;And of course, the main benefit of adding a directory to your sitemap is so the search engines can find it, pick it up, and include it in the search results. And that’s just smart &lt;abbr&gt;SEO&lt;/abbr&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h3&gt;What about adding files?&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Does this tricksy non-code technique also work with external files (instead of directories)? &lt;strong&gt;Not really&lt;/strong&gt;, because of the limitations in how permalinks are formatted. For example, permalinks end with a forward slash &lt;code&gt;/&lt;/code&gt;, file names do not. Also special characters like periods/dots that are included in file names are not included in permalinks. So if you add an external file named &lt;code&gt;external-file.html&lt;/code&gt;, the closest you can get with a static page name is &lt;code&gt;/external-file-html/&lt;/code&gt;, which won’t work for the sitemap trick. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Fortunately you always can add files and directories and just about anything using the &lt;a href=&quot;https://make.wordpress.org/core/2020/07/22/new-xml-sitemaps-functionality-in-wordpress-5-5/&quot;&gt;Sitemaps API&lt;/a&gt; now included in WordPress core :)&lt;/p&gt;</content:encoded>

<content:encoded>&lt;p&gt;As you all know, I have used the classic Dawson crying meme in my content—a longtime callback to the actor James Van Der Beek (March 8, 1977 – February 11, 2026).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;As a teenager, I watched &lt;i&gt;Dawson’s Creek&lt;/i&gt; and felt an instant kinship with the frustrated young man Van Der Beek portrayed in that show. I also admired his work with author Bret Easton Ellis—his role in the film adaptation of &lt;i&gt;The Rules of Attraction&lt;/i&gt;, and his voice work as narrator of the audiobook for Ellis’s &lt;em&gt;Lunar Park&lt;/em&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I know, it might seem like keeping the meme in play would be a better tribute, but I disagree. Van Der Beek spoke publicly about having ambivalent feelings about being known primarily as a meme, and to honor his memory, &lt;strong&gt;I am officially no longer using it&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;My content often calls for exactly this kind of &lt;b&gt;anguished reaction&lt;/b&gt;, so I needed a worthy replacement, and here it is.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://chrismaiorana.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/CM-Site-Logo-150x150.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; title=&quot;&quot;/&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I have decided to switch to the Tobey Maguire Peter Parker crying meme for the following scenarios:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;The difficulties of integrating open source tools&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;When tools don’t work out the way you hoped they would&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;When editing dotfiles becomes obsessive and distracts from real work&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;When real work is not satisfying&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;When your favorite open source tool is no longer supported&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;When a fork or org change causes doubt, consternation, or frustration&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;p&gt;And similar moments of tech-flavored despair. It feels like the right way to keep the &lt;strong&gt;spirit of the meme&lt;/strong&gt; alive while respecting the man behind the original one.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The post &lt;a href=&quot;https://chrismaiorana.com/retiring-dawson-meme/&quot;&gt;On retiring the Dawson crying meme&lt;/a&gt; appeared first on &lt;a href=&quot;https://chrismaiorana.com&quot;&gt;Chris Maiorana&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;</content:encoded>

<title>How to Disable All Automatic Updates (WordPress Core, Plugins, and Themes) | Digging Into WordPress</title>

<content:encoded>&lt;p&gt;Everyone has their own preference when it comes to automatic updates. Many folks like the idea of saving time and not having to “do” anything when updates are available. The &lt;strong&gt;problem&lt;/strong&gt; is that updates don’t always go as planned. Unexpected things happen, conflicts, bugs, etc. Best-case scenario you save some time. Worst-case scenario your site goes down. Personally, I prefer to &lt;strong&gt;disable automatic updates&lt;/strong&gt; for all the things: WordPress core, plugins, and themes. To do it, I use the following code snippets..&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h3&gt;Contents&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Disable automatic updates via constants&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Disable automatic updates via filter hooks&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;h3&gt;Disable automatic updates via constants&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This is the code snippet that I add to every site to turn off &lt;strong&gt;ALL&lt;/strong&gt; automatic updates. Added via the &lt;code&gt;wp-config.php&lt;/code&gt; file, just before the line that says, “That’s all, stop editing! Happy blogging.” Here is the magic code:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;pre&gt;&lt;code&gt;// Disable auto-updates for EVERYTHING
define(&amp;#39;AUTOMATIC_UPDATER_DISABLED&amp;#39;, true);

// Disable auto-updates for WP CORE
define(&amp;#39;WP_AUTO_UPDATE_CORE&amp;#39;, false);

// Disable auto-updates for PLUGINS &amp;amp; THEMES
define(&amp;#39;CORE_UPGRADE_SKIP_NEW_BUNDLED&amp;#39;, true);&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Here we define &lt;a href=&quot;https://developer.wordpress.org/advanced-administration/upgrade/upgrading/#update-configuration&quot;&gt;three constants&lt;/a&gt;. The first constant disables &lt;strong&gt;all&lt;/strong&gt; automatic updates. So technically that’s all you need. The second constant disables auto-updates for the WordPress core. The third constant disables auto-updates for plugins and themes. It’s as simple as that, and it &lt;strong&gt;just works&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h4&gt;Notes&lt;/h4&gt;
&lt;p&gt;By changing the values of the constants, you can define other configurations for automatic updates. For example, you can &lt;em&gt;enable&lt;/em&gt; core updates while disabling plugin/theme updates and vice versa. In fact, the &lt;code&gt;WP_AUTO_UPDATE_CORE&lt;/code&gt; constant may be one of &lt;em&gt;three&lt;/em&gt; possible values:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;code&gt;true&lt;/code&gt; – All updates (major, minor, and dev) are &lt;em&gt;enabled&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;code&gt;false&lt;/code&gt; – All updates (major, minor, and dev) are &lt;em&gt;disabled&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;code&gt;&amp;#39;minor&amp;#39;&lt;/code&gt; – Only minor updates are enabled (major &amp;amp; dev are disabled)&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The other two constants, &lt;code&gt;AUTOMATIC_UPDATER_DISABLED&lt;/code&gt; and &lt;code&gt;CORE_UPGRADE_SKIP_NEW_BUNDLED&lt;/code&gt;, are strictly boolean (&lt;code&gt;true&lt;/code&gt; or &lt;code&gt;false&lt;/code&gt;).&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Also note that “dev” updates only happen on sites running a development version of WordPress.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h3&gt;Disable automatic updates via filter hooks&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Instead of using constants, it’s possible to configure automatic updates using filter hooks. Going the “filter” route is somewhat more flexible. Best advice is to go with constants via &lt;code&gt;wp-config.php&lt;/code&gt; if you simply want to disable automatic updates. For alternate configurations, using filters gives you more granular control over each aspect of the update process.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Note:&lt;/strong&gt; The code snippets below can be added via &lt;a href=&quot;https://digwp.com/2025/01/wordpress-plugins-must-use-drop-in/&quot;&gt;must-use plugin&lt;/a&gt; or &lt;a href=&quot;https://digwp.com/2022/12/custom-code-wordpress/&quot;&gt;custom code&lt;/a&gt;. Do NOT add any of the following code directly to &lt;code&gt;wp-config.php&lt;/code&gt;.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Here are the filters that may be used to configure automatic updates:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;pre&gt;&lt;code&gt;// Disable auto-updates for EVERYTHING
add_filter(&amp;#39;automatic_updater_disabled&amp;#39;, &amp;#39;__return_false&amp;#39;);

// Disable auto-updates for WP CORE
add_filter(&amp;#39;auto_update_core&amp;#39;, &amp;#39;__return_false&amp;#39;);

// Disable auto-updates for PLUGINS
add_filter(&amp;#39;auto_update_plugin&amp;#39;, &amp;#39;__return_false&amp;#39;);

// Disable auto-updates for THEMES
add_filter(&amp;#39;auto_update_theme&amp;#39;, &amp;#39;__return_false&amp;#39;);

// Disable auto-updates for TRANSLATIONS
add_filter(&amp;#39;auto_update_translation&amp;#39;, &amp;#39;__return_false&amp;#39;);&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;
&lt;p&gt;As written here, these filters all return false, which disables their respective auto-update feature. To instead &lt;em&gt;enable&lt;/em&gt; any update feature, simply replace &lt;code&gt;__return_false&lt;/code&gt; with &lt;code&gt;__return_true&lt;/code&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h4&gt;Notes&lt;/h4&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The &lt;code&gt;auto_update_core&lt;/code&gt; filter disables &lt;strong&gt;all&lt;/strong&gt; core-related updates: major, minor, and dev. For more granular control, you can use the following &lt;em&gt;alternate&lt;/em&gt; filters:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;code&gt;allow_dev_auto_core_updates&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;code&gt;allow_minor_auto_core_updates&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;code&gt;allow_major_auto_core_updates&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;These filters do exactly what their names imply. For more details, check out this &lt;a href=&quot;https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/hooks/auto_update_type/&quot;&gt;WordPress article&lt;/a&gt;. As explained there, even when disabling auto-updates using &lt;code&gt;auto_update_core&lt;/code&gt; and related filters, WordPress will continue making &lt;abbr&gt;HTTP&lt;/abbr&gt; requests to the update endpoints:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;pre&gt;&lt;code&gt;https://api.wordpress.org/core/version-check/...
https://api.wordpress.org/plugins/update-check/...
https://api.wordpress.org/themes/update-check/...&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;
&lt;p&gt;If you want to &lt;strong&gt;stop&lt;/strong&gt; WordPress from checking for updates, you can add the following code via must-use plugin, regular plugin, or via &lt;code&gt;functions.php&lt;/code&gt;:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;pre&gt;&lt;code&gt;// Stop HTTP requests checking for updates
remove_action(&amp;#39;admin_init&amp;#39;, &amp;#39;_maybe_update_core&amp;#39;);
remove_action(&amp;#39;admin_init&amp;#39;, &amp;#39;_maybe_update_plugins&amp;#39;);
remove_action(&amp;#39;admin_init&amp;#39;, &amp;#39;_maybe_update_themes&amp;#39;);&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;
&lt;p&gt;That’s all for now, I hope this tutorial helps you in your WordPress adventures :)&lt;/p&gt;</content:encoded>

<content:encoded>&lt;p&gt;Adaptive pricing for Managed Markets automatically adjusts your international product prices to include duties, taxes, currency conversion, and merchant of record fees. This means customers see transparent, localized prices at checkout with no surprise charges, and your payout amounts stay consistent with your domestic orders.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Learn more about adaptive pricing in the &lt;a href=&quot;https://help.shopify.com/en/manual/international/managed-markets/adaptive-pricing&quot;&gt;Shopify Help Center&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;h2&gt;How it works&lt;/h2&gt;&lt;p&gt;When you turn on adaptive pricing, we start from your domestic prices and automatically derive international prices for each market. Here&amp;#39;s what we do behind the scenes:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Convert to local currency&lt;/strong&gt; using a stabilized exchange rate that we guarantee for a week - so your customers see consistent, predictable prices instead of numbers that change every hour&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Include duties and import taxes&lt;/strong&gt; directly in the product price, so your customers pay one clear price at checkout with no surprise fees later&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Include Managed Markets and FX fees&lt;/strong&gt; in the price, so your margins stay predictable&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Apply smart rounding&lt;/strong&gt; to keep prices looking clean and natural in every currency&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;p&gt;The result: your international customers see localized, all-inclusive prices that feel just like buying from a local store. And your payouts work just like they do domestically -- you get your domestic price minus payment processing fees, and we handle the rest.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;h2&gt;What you see in your Shopify admin&lt;/h2&gt;&lt;p&gt;We&amp;#39;ve built new tools into your admin so you can see exactly what&amp;#39;s happening with adaptive pricing:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;A toggle on each market&amp;#39;s details page&lt;/strong&gt; to turn adaptive pricing on or off per market&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;A payout breakdown modal on the order details page&lt;/strong&gt; that shows you how your payout amount is calculated - including the duties, taxes, FX, and fees that were included in the customer&amp;#39;s price&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;A pricing audit trail&lt;/strong&gt; so you can see how each product&amp;#39;s price was derived, from your domestic price through every adjustment&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;h2&gt;Getting started&lt;/h2&gt;&lt;p&gt;Adaptive pricing is available now for all Managed Markets merchants powered by Shopify Payments. If you&amp;#39;re new to Managed Markets, adaptive pricing is enabled by default when you onboard.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;If you&amp;#39;re an existing Managed Markets merchant, you can turn it on from your admin:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ol&gt;&lt;li&gt;Go to &lt;strong&gt;Settings &amp;gt; Markets&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Click on a market managed by Managed Markets.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;In the pricing section, toggle &lt;strong&gt;adaptive pricing&lt;/strong&gt; on.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;&lt;p&gt;That&amp;#39;s it. We&amp;#39;ll start deriving localized, all-inclusive prices for that market right away.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;h2&gt;A few things to keep in mind&lt;/h2&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Adaptive pricing is available on &lt;strong&gt;Managed Markets powered by Shopify Payments&lt;/strong&gt;. Merchants that joined after October 14, 2025 have access today; those that joined prior will gain access March 26, 2026.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Prices are stabilized on a &lt;strong&gt;weekly cadence&lt;/strong&gt;, so your customers see consistent pricing between updates.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;If you&amp;#39;ve set &lt;strong&gt;fixed prices&lt;/strong&gt; for specific products in a market, they will not be adapted. You are responsible for ensuring they leave you with sufficient margin after duties, taxes, and cross border fees.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Gift cards&lt;/strong&gt; are excluded from adaptive pricing adjustments.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Refunds&lt;/strong&gt; are handled automatically. Duties and taxes included in the price are returned to you when recoverable. FX and Managed Markets fees are not returned.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Order edits&lt;/strong&gt; are supported - if you modify an order before fulfillment, the included duties and taxes are recalculated and any difference is credited or debited accordingly.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;You can turn adaptive pricing off at any time. When you do, your markets will revert to the standard duty-exclusive pricing model.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;</content:encoded>
