This plugin is for WordPress users who want a clutter-free interface, without AI buttons and options taking up space.
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.
<h3>Details</h3>
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.
<h3>How to use</h3>
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.
<h3>Plugins and Themes</h3>
The plugin hides AI options generated by the following:
<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>
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:
<h3>Developers</h3>

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.

Display Posts allows you easily list content from all across your website. Start by adding this shortcode in the content editor to display a list of your most recent posts:
<pre><code>[display-posts]
</code></pre>
Filter by Category
To only show posts within a certain category, use the category parameter:
<pre><code>[display-posts category="news"]
</code></pre>
Display as Post Grid
You can create a great looking, column-based grid of posts with a bit of styling. <a href="https://displayposts.com/2019/01/04/post-grid-styling/" rel="nofollow ugc">Here’s how!</a>
List Popular Posts 
You can highlight your popular content in multiple ways. If you want to feature the posts with the most comments, use:
<pre><code>[display-posts orderby="comment_count"]
</code></pre>
You can also list <a href="https://displayposts.com/2019/01/04/most-popular-posts-by-social-shares/" rel="nofollow ugc">most popular posts by social shares</a>.
Include thumbnails, excerpts, and more 
The <a href="https://displayposts.com/docs/parameters/#display-parameters" rel="nofollow ugc">display parameters</a> let you control what information is displayed for each post. To include an image and summary, use:
<pre><code>[display-posts include_excerpt="true" image_size="thumbnail"]
</code></pre>
You can use any image size added by WordPress (thumbnail, medium, medium_large, large) OR any custom image size added by your theme or other plugins.
Sort the list however you like 
By default the listing will list the newest content first, but you can order by title, menu order, relevance, content type, metadata, and more.
List upcoming events 
You can easily list upcoming events from any event calendar. Each plugin will require slightly different code.
Here are <a href="https://displayposts.com/tag/events/" rel="nofollow ugc">tutorials for popular event calendar plugins</a>. If your plugin is not listed here, submit a support request and I’ll add it!

Display Posts – Easy lists, grids, navigation, and more

I have hardly any page that does not use this plugin to display information extracted from posts. By using its hooks, I am able to generate carousels, accordions, and lists of posts for alerts, news, faqs, fundraisers, booking calendar, events, testimonials, and so on.

Swissknife for posts


nothing shows, or incompatible with woocommerce. no idea why, but i replaced this plugin by simple php snippets. much easier.


does not work at all


Any plugin coming from Bill Erickson can be trusted as an excellent coded tool!



And this Display Posts plugin doesn't disappoint.



If you're looking for an easy way to add posts anywhere you want without hacking theme files, the Display Posts plugin is the one you want to install! Lightweight and highly customisable.



Thanks Bill!
