aGo Disable

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.
