WP Basic Elements gives you full control over the features WordPress loads by default. Disable what you don’t need, clean up the front-end markup, and streamline the admin interface — all from a single, modern settings page.
Every option is off by default. You choose exactly what to disable, nothing more.
<h4>What you can do</h4>
<ul>
<li>Admin Bar — Remove individual items like the WP logo, New Content, Customize, Updates, Comments, Search, and more</li>
<li>Dashboard Widgets — Hide Welcome Panel, At a Glance, Activity, Site Health, Quick Draft, WP Events & News, WooCommerce and Yoast widgets</li>
<li>Admin Footer — Replace or hide the left and right footer text</li>
<li>User Profile — Hide profile fields (Rich Editing, Color Scheme, Application Passwords, etc.) and remove individual contact methods (Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, Twitter/X, and more)</li>
<li>Comments — Disable the entire comment system with a single toggle</li>
<li>Gutenberg Editor — Turn off Welcome Guide, Fullscreen Mode, Focus Mode, Distraction Free Mode, and Top Toolbar</li>
<li>Meta Tags & Head Cleanup — Remove the generator tag, oEmbed links, shortlinks, WLW manifest, adjacent post links, REST API links, RSS feeds, emojis, and pingbacks/trackbacks</li>
<li>REST API — Restrict access for non-logged-in users with a configurable whitelist</li>
</ul>

This plugin improves the gallery template by making the following tweaks:
<ol>
<li>Puts all the gallery css in a separte file, for easy customisation and faster page load.</li>
<li>Adds an id attribute to the code, so that two or more galleries can have a different number of columns and still display correctly on the same page.</li>
</ol>
