Disable Bloat for WordPress & WooCommerce

Thanks a lot for the plugin. The admin panel again became cozy at home.

Clean admin again


Hi Sir. Right now I'm in front of my client's computer evaluating some plugins that she bought on her own (Disable Bloat Pro among them). Just great. 💪



I mean, in a highly productive way you managed to be successful in every important aspect related to the performance of the system. Neither more nor less, just enough, that's what I like the most about this resource 😻. And in that direction are a couple of tiny proposals for improvement that I don't know if they work for you but here they go anyway 🙂:



Contact Form Auto P



When Contact Form 7 generates its HTML, it has a slightly awkward detail of enclosing each form field in paragraph tags. Fortunately its developer offers a quick method to fix the problem by adding this line in wp-config.php:



define('WPCF7_AUTOP', false );



Maybe it would be fine if your plugin included that option. That way we could achieve the goal through the plugin without needing to edit the file.



WP Memory Limit



I am wondering if it is possible to increase WordPress memory using your plugin in the same way that it could be achieved via wp-config.php:



define( 'WP_MEMORY_LIMIT', '1024M' );



This one is very useful for themes and plugins that demand more available RAM (Some of them even give a warning).



Autosave interval



It's about controlling the auto save time of the editor:



define('AUTOSAVE_INTERVAL', 30000 );



Personally I have it set to a high value of 30000 because I don't like that feature and so far I haven't found a way to permanently remove it. If there was an interface to control it directly from the panel, it would be useful and that's why I include it in the proposal.



Block external connections



I use it a lot, especially when developing projects like intranets:



define('WP_HTTP_BLOCK_EXTERNAL', true);



The problem is that WordPress generates php error reports in some parts of the interface.



The point is that in some cases it would be extremely useful to make WordPress 100% free of external connections. Imagine if that could be achieved just by checking/unchecking a box. 👍👍



----



Thank you, that is all for now. I congratulate you on the minimalist and professional way in which you are developing this plugin 😎. I like it a lot!
