<p>This plugin is for WordPress users who want a clutter-free interface, without AI buttons and options taking up space.</p>
<p>The point is not to discourage the use of AI in general. In fact, AI was used in research and development, and creation of assets for this plugin. However, theme and plugin developers are injecting buttons and links into core interfaces of the WordPress admin area, as well as in the Gutenburg editor, and it is these areas that this plugin is meant to clean up.</p>
<h3>Details</h3>
<p>The areas in which AI buttons and links are hidden are limited to core interfaces such as the Media Gallery, Gutenburg, Posts, Pages, and other settings or configuration pages. Plugin setting pages, page editors, etc will be considered on a case-by-case basis but are likely something for the future.</p>
<h3>How to use</h3>
<p>Simply install and activate the plugin. That’s it! There are no settings or options. The plugin takes action only in the admin area, and will automatically hide content from known sources.</p>
<h3>Plugins and Themes</h3>
<p>The plugin hides AI options generated by the following:</p>
<ul>
<li>All in One SEO</li>
<li>Elementor</li>
<li>Otter Blocks</li>
<li>PostX</li>
<li>Rank Math SEO</li>
<li>Spectra</li>
<li>Yoast</li>
</ul>
<p>If you use a plugin or theme that is adding AI buttons to the interface, please submit a <a href="https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/hide-ai/" rel="ugc">Support request</a> to have it included in a later version:</p>

Hide AI


Andrew Hoyer gets it. If there's a problem, create a solution. AI being "all the rage" has made the WordPress UI ugly, confusing, and generally a bad experience.



But you don't have to sit in silence.



Your clients don't have to be confused by shiny new buttons.



You won't have to worry about people breaking their sites by trying to help with AI.



Andrew fixed the problem.



Hide the AI buttons.



Thank you.


This is why I love the Plugin Repo!

A WordPress plugin that hides AI buttons and links in the admin area.

<p>Within this tree you can edit pages, view pages, add pages, search pages, and drag and drop pages to rearrange the order.</p>
<p>CMS Tree Page View is a good alternative to plugins such as pageMash, WordPress Page Tree and My Page Order.

CMS Tree Page View


CMS Tree Page View is straightforward, very useful and well-maintained. Everything that open source should be. WordPress owes its success to developers like Jon Christopher and Pär Thernström who create powerful, truly open source solutions like CMS Tree Page View and Simple History and share them for free, without huge advertising banners or interruption marketing with unnecessary admin notifications.



We are proud to modestly sponsor Simple History and Pär. We sponsored Jon Christopher enough with his SearchWP plugin which practices discriminatory pricing against existing users (much higher renewal prices than purchase prices) which is the antithesis of the open source spirit.


Well-maintained, extremely useful open source tool

Adds a tree view of all pages & custom posts. Get a great overview + options to drag & drop to reorder & option to add multiple pages.
