Due to Matt Mullenweg’s latest <a href="https://wptavern.com/wordpress-org-login-introduces-mandatory-pineapple-pizza-checkbox" rel="nofollow ugc">pineapple pizza checkbox requirement</a> to log into the WordPress.org website, I can no longer support this plugin and have decided to pass it up to anyone interested to take it over.
Hides (sidebar) ads and premium version buttons of Yoast SEO from their settings pages and your website’s dashboard (and frontend).
The first version of the Hide SEO Bloat plugin was released in April 2015 and ever since team Yoast and I have been playing a game of cat and mouse.
Since version 20.0 of Yoast SEO however, the Settings page has received a complete overhaul, which made the Hide SEO Bloat plugin almost obsolete!
Things have become much, much more trickier to remove/hide now and some things simply can no longer be hidden (believe me, I have tried).
Why are there still people using Yoast SEO one might ask? There are so many great alternatives that come without screaming ads and hiding features behind a paywall!
And the only reason that I have to keep Yoast SEO installed (on a sandbox that is) is because of the mere 10K installs where Hide SEO Bloat is running. Compare that with my popular <a href="https://wordpress.org/plugins/classic-editor-addon/" rel="ugc">Classic Editor + plugin</a>, which has more than 30,000 active installs!
For everyone to become much more productive and happier, my proposal therefore is to switch to any of the other SEO plugins, such as SEOPress, The SEO Framework, Rankmath, or any other one out there! Did you know that most SEO plugins come with easy one-click migration tools?
I support this plugin exclusively through <a href="https://github.com/senlin/so-clean-up-wp-seo/issues" rel="nofollow ugc">Github</a>. Therefore, if you have any questions, need help and/or want to make a feature request, please open an issue over at Github. You can also browse through open and closed issues to find what you are looking for and perhaps even help others.
Thanks for your understanding and cooperation.
