Disable Bloat for WordPress & WooCommerce PRO

Disable Bloat for WordPress & WooCommerce PRO groups controls for turning off selected WooCommerce, WordPress and third-party add-on capabilities. WooCommerce is optional; sites without it can leave its options unused. Each control targets a specific feature, so review the website’s process before disabling it.

WooCommerce admin and storefront controls

• Administration: Disable WooCommerce Admin, Analytics, the Home screen or selected admin capabilities. You can also turn off the Marketing Hub and related promotions. Some extensions, including Google Listings & Ads, may rely on WooCommerce Admin. Disabling it can affect those extensions, so check dependent features afterward.
• Emails and back end: Disable WooCommerce Guide Emails or remove “Get the App” content from emails. Back-end settings cover the Status meta box, Dashboard Setup widget, new Product Editor and WooCommerce Blocks.
• Storefront: Disable WooCommerce widgets, scripts and styles, cart fragments, Blocks or unnecessary Stripe scripts. Review shop pages and related functions after changing these settings.

WordPress admin, login and core features

Admin controls can conceal update notices from non-admin customers, turn off editor autosave and dashboard widgets, and remove the WordPress logo from the admin bar or the admin footer text. Login settings cover the WordPress logo, its link and title, and the language switcher.

Other settings cover the password strength meter, front-end Dashicons, jQuery Migrate, the wp-embed feature, emoji scripts, the Meta Generator tag, DNS prefetch, script and style version parameters, and selected WordPress APIs such as XML-RPC, REST and Heartbeat. Options for post revisions, the file editor, application passwords, RSS feeds and WordPress updates let you disable specific core features. Check what depends on each feature before turning it off.

Block editor and extension settings

Block Editor controls include Gutenberg and selected Gutenberg features. Third-party plugin settings can hide or disable specific dashboard widgets, notices, promotions, toolbar entries, menus, Google Fonts or assets for plugins such as Jetpack, Elementor, Yoast, UpdraftPlus, Advanced Custom Fields, WPML, Flexible Shipping, WP Desk and Contact Form 7. These controls apply to the listed integrations; they do not replace the plugins themselves.

2. Review the WordPress, WooCommerce, email, back-end, front-end, admin, login and performance sections.
3. Disable only features the site does not need.
