The Restrict RSS Feeds plugin gives you several useful options for managing your feed such as:
<ol>
<li>Switching off all RSS feeds in your WordPress installation</li>
<li>Restricting access to authorized users by requiring a password for access</li>
<li>Removing descriptions and excerpts from the feed</li>
<li>Removing author names from the feed</li>
</ol>
RSS is a type of web feed that allows your readers to automatically get new content in email newsletters and RSS feed readers.
RSS feeds can be useful for your website when running a blog but are unnecessary if using WordPress as a basic website builder or ecommerce site. Some blog posts may also be gated content and be intended to be visible by authorized users only.

A quick and easy solution to automatically disable all RSS feeds or restrict rss access with a custom password.

This plugin completely disables the theme, plugin and core update checking system in WordPress. The plugin prevents WordPress from 
checking for updates including cronjobs, and prevents any notifications from being displayed.
It’s very important that you keep your WordPress theme, core and plugins up to date! If you don’t, your blog or website could 
be susceptible to security vulnerabilities or performance issues.
If you use this plugin, make sure you keep yourself up to date with new releases of your active WordPress version, plugins 
and themes and update them as new versions are released (simply by deactivating this plugin for a short time).

Set yourself up a separate Wordpress instance with the free MainWP plugin, and use that for managing all your site updates automatically, manually, or a mix from there instead.




I've been working with Wordpress for about 15 years. This is the way. 💪


Very site should use this with a separate MainWP instance for updates 🥰

Disables the theme, plugin and core update checking, the related cronjobs, plugin/theme update health checks and notification system.
