<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, the Gutenburg editor, and even their own workflows.</p>
<h3>Details</h3>
<p>AI options are hidden anywhere in the WordPress admin area including the dashboard, admin toolbar, sidebar, and any other workflow that exists in the admin area.</p>
<p>Hide AI does not concern itself with plugins that are specifically and exclusively about AI, but rather with ones that are layering AI on top of their core service.</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>SeedProd</li>
<li>Spectra</li>
<li>WPCode</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>
<h3>Developers</h3>
<p>If you’re interested in furthering the development of the Hide AI plugin, please find the project on GitHub:</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!


I prefer using AI tools outside of the WP dashboard. This plugin hides the pesky AI buttons added by WordPress core and popular plugins.


Great
