Please update
by Charlie·3 years ago
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.
