Take control of your site. Disable unnecessary WordPress core functions to boost security, improve performance, and clean up your admin dashboard.
As of April 2026, Core Feature Control is a WordPress disable plugin with 40 active installations and a 0/5 rating0. It has been downloaded 235 times in total. Requires WordPress 6.2+ and PHP 7.4+. Available on WordPress.org since 2025. Top alternative: Classic Widgets.
Core Feature Control is the all-in-one solution for site owners who want to fine-tune their WordPress installation and eliminate unnecessary “bloat.”
WordPress is incredibly flexible, but not every site needs every single feature that comes with the core software. By turning off unused functions, you can reduce server requests, close potential security holes, and simplify the user interface for yourself or your clients.
Our intuitive settings panel, located at Settings -> Disable Features, gives you full control with a simple click. From disabling auto-update emails and post revisions to removing the Admin Footer and Screen Options, you have the power to create a faster, more secure, and more efficient WordPress environment.
