Beschreibung
aGo Disable gives you a single screen with 14 toggles to turn off WordPress features that many sites do not need. Safe defaults are enabled on first activation. The rest are off by default; flip them only when you understand the impact.
Every toggle ships with a 1-line summary plus an expandable „More info“ block that explains what it does, why you might want it on, and any caveat. No guesswork.
Toggles included
WordPress features:
- Comments site-wide (posts, pages, custom post types, comment forms, admin menu).
- Gutenberg block editor (forces the classic editor).
- Internal site search.
- RSS feeds (main, comments, taxonomies).
Public pages and archives:
- Attachment pages (the individual page WordPress creates for each upload).
- Author archives (
/author/username/).
Security and updates:
- Pingbacks and trackbacks.
- Core auto-updates.
- Plugin auto-updates.
- Theme auto-updates.
Admin noise:
- The admin bar for non-admin users.
- „Try Gutenberg“ and similar plugin nag notices.
- The „WordPress Events and News“ dashboard widget.
- The Heartbeat API (throttled to one poll per 60 seconds site-wide).
All toggles are reversible: untick the switch and changes save automatically. No external services, no remote calls, no telemetry.
External services
This plugin does not call any third-party service or external API. It works entirely by registering and un-registering standard WordPress hooks and filters.
The „Quick links“ card in the admin sidebar links to public third-party tools (Google PageSpeed, GTmetrix, Sucuri SiteCheck) for the convenience of the administrator. These are plain external links, opened in a new tab. The plugin does not send any data to those services.
Privacy
aGo Disable does not collect or transmit any data. It stores only one option in the wp_options table under the key agodisable_settings, containing the toggle states. No custom database tables are created. Deactivating the plugin does not delete the option. Uninstalling deletes it.

FAQ
-
Can I re-enable a feature after disabling it?
-
Yes. Flip the switch back and changes save automatically.
-
Will disabling search break my theme?
-
Most themes degrade gracefully when search is disabled. If your theme has a visible search form and your visitors rely on it, leave that toggle off.
-
I disabled Gutenberg but a plugin still requires it. What now?
-
Flip the Gutenberg toggle back on. Some plugins (e.g. modern page builders, form plugins) ship Gutenberg blocks and need the editor active.
-
Will disabling auto-updates leave me exposed?
-
Auto-updates are convenient but can break sites on minor version changes. If you disable them, plan a recurring manual or staged update process.
-
Does the plugin send any data to a third party?
-
No. Zero outbound network traffic. No telemetry, no usage stats, no remote configuration.
-
Is there a way to switch the plugin language?
-
The plugin uses your WordPress site language. Translations are contributed through translate.wordpress.org, and the screen shows in English until one exists for your language.
