Repository metrics are context, not quality scores. Active installations measure adoption and can strongly reflect a plugin’s age and historical popularity. Ratings, recent updates and “Tested up to” metadata also do not guarantee modern code, error-free operation, security, feature completeness or suitability for a particular site.

Overview

About this plugin

”

WordPress is incredibly flexible, but not every site needs every single feature that comes with the core software. By turning off unused functions, you can reduce server requests, close potential security holes, and simplify the user interface for yourself or your clients.

Our intuitive settings panel, located at Settings -> Disable Features, gives you full control with a simple click. From disabling auto-update emails and post revisions to removing the Admin Footer and Screen Options, you have the power to create a faster, more secure, and more efficient WordPress environment.

Key benefits of using this plugin include:

  • Improved Performance: Disable features like Dashicons on the front end to reduce resource loading and speed up your site.
  • Enhanced Security: Harden your site by disabling the built-in Plugin and Theme Editor, preventing unauthorized code changes.
  • Streamlined Admin: Clean up the dashboard by removing distracting elements such as the “Howdy” greeting in the admin bar and the “Help” tabs.
  • Total Control: Manage essential functions like WordPress updates, Privacy Tools, and the REST API from a single, centralized location.

Core Feature Control is a must-have for anyone serious about optimizing their WordPress site. It’s built with clean, efficient code and won’t weigh down your site.

Key Features:

  • Comprehensive disabling of numerous core functions.
  • Intuitive and easy-to-use admin panel.
  • Security hardening by disabling sensitive editors and APIs.
  • Performance optimization by removing unnecessary scripts.
  • Dashboard and admin bar cleanup for a better user experience.
  • Lightweight, with minimal impact on site performance.
