Disabler

Instead of installing a million plugins to turn off features you don't want, why not use ONE plugin?

I don’t like certain things, like curly ‘smart’ quotes and self pings. Instead of installing six or seven plugins to do this, I thought I’d make one plugin to cover the usual suspects. Instead of just disabling everything, Disabler lets you pick and choose what settings you want turned off, in a dead simple UI.

This plugin will let you disable/remove the following features:

Front End Settings

  • Texturization (including Smart/Curly quotes, EM dash, EN dash, and ellipsis)
  • The automatic capitalization of the P in WordPress (WordPress 3.0+ only)
  • The <p> that is automatically inserted

Back End Settings

  • Self Ping
  • Autosaving of posts
  • Post Revisions
  • RSS Feeds
  • XML-RPC

Privacy Settings

  • Outputting WordPress version in your blog headers
  • Sending your blog URL to WordPress when checking for updates on core/theme/plugins

All options default to off, and get cleaned up on uninstall.
