[michaelw1]

Dear x10hosting support , Is there a way to turn off the updates in wordpress? As i am out in the country and have a data limit. And can they be done offline while the user is sleeping ? Because if not i'll have to move to another hosting service . Which i don't won't to do .

Thank you

Hi hamradi2,

I'm sorry, but I'm not so sure that I understand your question. Automatic WordPress updates can be configured from within Softaculous, but your site's WordPress installation has this disabled. There is also a feature built in to WordPress for updates, which you can configure by following this article.

i am out in the country and have a data limit

Automatic updates will not contribute massively to your data limit, as the updates are downloaded through the server, and not through your connection.

Thank you,

can you set the Automatic WordPress updates for me as well as the for the plug-in's ? that way I way I wouldn't have to do any installs and use up my data

@hamradi2 , WordPress downloads all updates through x10Hosting's web server, it will not use any data on your phone at all.

Hi,

can you show me info that backs up your statement ? because i don't believe it .

@bmccoy11 is correct. When you are using WordPress's "one-click" update (or an automatic background update), this is downloaded through the server, and is not uploaded through your browser.

can you set the Automatic WordPress updates for me as well as the for the plug-in's ? that way I way I wouldn't have to do any installs and use up my data

Please see this article: http://codex.wordpress.org/Configuring_Automatic_Background_Updates

Thank you,

I'm still unsure even though that link says No .

It's the actual WordPress PHP code that does the updates. That code lives on the server, and will not run in your browser. If you aren't going to believe the actual official WordPress documentation, then I caan't imagine how you can be helped further.

My dad seems to think because your connected to the internet. The updates use up your data from your internet service . But i'll pass the info over to him anyway. Thanks essellar

The only data it would use is the downloading of the page on the browser that may indicate that it's being updated or something (I never used the WordPress updater so don't expect me to know a lot on this part of the subject).
As stated by many in this thread (and I'm sure that you've picked it up by now), PHP is being used to update WordPress. As PHP is a server-side language, it is bound to be a server-side operation. Yes, PHP is able to download files without any involvement of uploads.
If it was to be an upload (from the client side), it would request you to save a file, ask for you to pick a file (assuming that there's no JavaScript pre-specifing the path) and then on PC browsers (should) tell you that it's uploading a file along with the percentage, like on Chrome it says 'Uploading (xx%)' in the bottom left corner.

I hope my post makes things more clear.
