## Description

**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.

### Key benefits of using this plugin include:

 * **Improved Performance:** Disable features like Dashicons on the front end to
   reduce resource loading and speed up your site.
 * **Enhanced Security:** Harden your site by disabling the built-in Plugin and 
   Theme Editor, preventing unauthorized code changes.
 * **Streamlined Admin:** Clean up the dashboard by removing distracting elements
   such as the “Howdy” greeting in the admin bar and the “Help” tabs.
 * **Total Control:** Manage essential functions like WordPress updates, Privacy
   Tools, and the REST API from a single, centralized location.

**Core Feature Control** is a must-have for anyone serious about optimizing their
WordPress site. It’s built with clean, efficient code and won’t weigh down your 
site.

### Key Features:

 * Comprehensive disabling of numerous core functions.
 * Intuitive and easy-to-use admin panel.
 * Security hardening by disabling sensitive editors and APIs.
 * Performance optimization by removing unnecessary scripts.
 * Dashboard and admin bar cleanup for a better user experience.
 * Lightweight, with minimal impact on site performance.

## FAQ

### What is Core Feature Control?

Core Feature Control is a lightweight WordPress plugin that gives you granular control
over your website’s core functions and features. It allows you to disable specific,
often unnecessary, elements to improve site performance, enhance security, and clean
up your admin dashboard.

### Why would I want to disable core WordPress features?

Disabling features you don’t use can lead to several benefits. It can reduce “bloat”
by removing unnecessary code and scripts, which can speed up your site. It also 
enhances security by disabling sensitive tools like the file editors. Additionally,
it cleans up the admin area, making it simpler and easier to navigate for you and
your clients.

### Is this plugin safe to use? Will it break my site?

Yes, the plugin is safe. It is built to be non-intrusive and uses standard WordPress
hooks and filters to disable features. Disabling a feature only removes its functionality;
it doesn’t delete any core files. However, it’s always recommended to back up your
site before installing any new plugin, as a best practice.

### How do I access the plugin’s settings?

You can find the settings page by navigating to Settings -> Disable Features in 
your WordPress admin menu.
