Simple, yet powerful. I love that I can easily disable all of the features of WordPress I’m not using in a single plugin. It makes new site setup a breeze!

At WPControl, we found that there are many unused features of WordPress that make it a hassle sometimes or we just don’t need. There are tons of plugins already out there that will disable a specific feature. But taking the time and energy to optimize all of them was too much. We made just one plugin that has the features of many so you can have a one stop shop for disabling unused features of WordPress.
Unlike other methods of disabling features, WPControl allows you to disable many features with just a few clicks (no need to hire a developer).
<h4>Settings Include</h4>
<ul>
<li>
Disable Comments – You can disable comments site wide or on specific post types such as posts, pages, and media.
</li>
<li>
Disable Gutenberg – Disables the Gutenberg block editor and reverts it the Classic Editor
</li>
<li>
Disable “Try Gutenberg” Nag – Removes the annoying admin notice that keeps nagging you to try Gutenberg
</li>
<li>
Disable Shortlinks – The tag is auto generated by WordPress and is used to create shortlinks. If you are already using pretty permalinks, such as the PrettyLinks plugin. Then there is no need for this unnecessary tag.
</li>
<li>
Disable RSD Link – RSD Links are used by blog clients and some 3rd parties that utilize XML-RPC requests. If you edit your site through your browser, then you do not need it. Most of the time, it is just unnecessary code.
</li>

Remove XFN Profile Link – The XFN Profile Link is used to add semantic data to links to be used by browsers to assign relationships between profiles. Basically it tells browsers that the site contains links that use XFN Specification
</li>

</li>
<li>
Remove Meta Generator – This meta tag allows attackers to see the version of WordPress, it serves no useful purpose.
