Why you need Disable Blog

Plenty of sites never publish a single post, but the Posts menu, empty category archives and feeds are still there, confusing clients and creating thin pages for search engines.

What Disable Blog does

  • Posts removed

    The Posts menu, admin bar links and dashboard items go.

  • Archives and feeds closed

    Blog archives redirect, and post comments and feeds are switched off.

  • Taxonomies handled

    Categories and tags used by custom post types can be kept.

    Brochure sites

    A simpler admin and no empty blog archives for Google to find.

WP Extended vs the Disable Blog plugin

The Disable Blog plugin has 20k+ active installs on WordPress.org. If you only need this one job, that’s a fine choice. If the site also needs other modules on this list, it’s one less plugin to update.

The difference
Disable Blog does the same core job inside WP Extended, so it shares one settings screen, one update and one support team with every other module you use.

For developers

Disable Blog has 3 hooks for changing its behaviour per project, without editing the plugin.

add_filter( 'wpextended/disable-blog/post_blocks', function ( $value ) {
