Overview
Build a blog-less WordPress site.
Disable Blog is a comprehensive plugin to disable the built-in blogging functionality on your site. You’ll be free to use pages and custom post types without a blog.
The blog is “disabled” when the plugin is activated, which removes support for the core ‘post’ type, hides blog-related admin pages/settings, and redirects urls on both the public and admin portions of the site. Refer to the GitHub readme file for a detailed functionality list.
Important
You need to select a page to act as the home page. If Settings > Reading > “Front Page Displays” is not set to show a page, then this plugin will not function correctly. Not doing so will mean that your post page can still be visible on the front-end of the site…

useful sometimes

Good one but I wish it could also disable any posts from being added in Posts section, as hackers could still post via other tools.

Has Issues

This plugin evidently does what it says it does – disable the blog features in WordPress. This can be useful for those who only want pages in their websites.
I have a problem, though. I decided to retain the blog functions, rather than switch to pages. Because of this I no longer needed the disable blog plugin. I deactivated it; but when I tried to remove it, it hung. Then I received the message: “Deletion failed:”
This message gave me no useful information as to how to remove the plugin. I consider this a serious problem, because it suggests the plugin itself is not robust. That, in turn, could mean that the plugin may be vulnerable to exploits.
