Features

The feature list from the plugin's own readme on WordPress.org, trimmed to the essentials.

  • I’ve added automated tests that ensure plugin works in new versions of WordPress and PHP
  • With the help of the automated tests, I’ve tested that the plugin works in WordPress 5.0 and later. The original plugin was only tested up to WordPress 4.4
  • The automated tests also ensure that the plugin works in PHP 7 and 8. The original plugin was only tested with PHP 5
  • Customizer Remove All Parts was removed from the plugin directory due to being “unused”, presumably since it hasn’t been updated in 5 years. Disable Customizer…

  • STOP

    If you ever want to remove this and get your customizer back there is no simple way. There are residuals left all over in other folders. Took my tech team 2 hours to find them all and I have over 10 sites with this. I can't get any more support without big $. I am so so mad I ever installed this on my sites

  • Does it's job very well

    It is a very good plugin, if you need to completely remove/disable Customizer in WordPress. It removes "Customize" links from Dashboard and Admin Bar and also disables Customizer URL. Thanks for your work.
