Centralized WordPress feature controls
Disable Everything PRO is a lightweight WordPress plugin for turning off features you do not need. Instead of adding a separate plugin for every individual adjustment, it brings a broad set of controls into one interface. You can choose a combination of features and disable them with one click, then re-enable them later if your requirements change.
The plugin is useful for site owners who want a more focused WordPress installation, administrators preparing a streamlined dashboard, and developers configuring a custom setup. Its controls cover both administrative elements and front-end or background functions, allowing you to select only the options relevant to each project.
What the PRO edition includes
The PRO edition includes the feature controls available in the plugin and adds the ability to disable comments completely. This can be useful for websites that do not use a comment section or that prefer to manage discussion outside WordPress.
- Comments: disable the comment section completely.
- Updates and notifications: control WordPress updates, auto-update email notifications, and administration email verification prompts.
- Content and system behavior: disable post revisions, search, lazy loading, adjacent post links, PDF thumbnails, oEmbed, remote block patterns, and application passwords.
- Branding and interface elements: remove the WordPress login logo and favicon, admin footer content, the Howdy message, admin-bar navigation items, the clean dashboard elements, and selected toolbar features.
- Site and publishing features: turn off RSS feeds, XML-RPC and pingbacks, the generator tag, WLW manifest, Really Simple Discovery, short links, emojis, embeds, Dashicons, Heartbeat, and the REST API.
- Optional plugin and theme controls: disable the plugin and theme editor, WP login elements, and selected bloat or promotions from Yoast SEO, WooCommerce, Elementor, Jetpack, Contact Form 7, Autoptimize, and W3 Total Cache.
- Other controls: disable privacy tools, the Site Health page, navigation links in the header, version query strings after styles and scripts, and empty-trash behavior with its shortened period.
Practical workflow
Begin by reviewing the available controls and identifying features that do not belong in your current workflow. Select the options you want to disable, apply the changes, and keep the configuration aligned with the needs of the site. If a feature becomes necessary later, return to the settings and re-enable it.
This approach can help consolidate common WordPress adjustments in one place. It is particularly practical for sites with no comments, custom editorial processes, simplified administrator screens, or a deliberate need to reduce optional WordPress and third-party plugin elements.
