Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about Disable Blog

Other post types (like Pages) may have comment support and other great plugins exist that can disable comments, so this feature was not part of the initial development of this plugin. A future release will include options to disable comments, but until then if you would like to disable comments, try the Disable Comments plugin. I want to delete my posts and comments. Deactivate the plugin, delete your posts (which will delete related comments), and delete any tags or categories you might want to remove as well. Then reactivate the Disable Blog to hide everything again.

Author archives are automatically created by WordPress for every user (example url: example.com/author/author-name). Typically these archives show posts by that user and possibly some biographical information. So many plugins and themes use author archives for other purposes - account page, profile page, etc. For that reason disabling author archives is currently only available with this plugin via a filter. If you're not using the built-in WP author archives for other purposes and would like to disable them entirely, add the following to your theme functions.php file or a custom plugin file: add_filter( 'dwpb_disable_author_archives', '__return_true' );. If author archives are not disabled, the plugin adds functionality to support custom post types on author archives by passing an array of post type slugs to dwpb_author_archive_post_types filter - however, theme support is usually needed to disable custom content types correctly.

There are numerous filters available to change the way this plugin works. Refer to the GitHub page for more details or reach out on the support forums if you have any questions.
