  • Please update

    Thanks for making a super easy plug. Please would you check this plugin is compatible with the latest version of WordPress. It is always concerning installing a plugin that has not been updated in a year.

  • Really nice and simple plugin

    I liked this plugin very much. Would be cool if you also created "Disable Posts" plugin that works similarly (I only want Pages, not Posts).

  • Simple, effective, no config ✅

    The type of plugin I just love... does exactly what it says, no configuration necessary, source readable and understandable in minutes.
