Description

This plugin combines admin cleanup with a built-in SEO module — no third-party SEO plugin needed.

Admin features:
* Removes “Posts” and “Comments” from the admin menu
* Disables comments and pingbacks across the entire site
* Disables the Gutenberg block editor and restores the classic editor
* Removes the comments admin bar link and related widgets
* Allows SVG, ICO, TTF, and EOT uploads to the Media Library

SEO features (Settings > Santi Tech SEO):
* Custom SEO title and meta description per post/page with live character counter
* Open Graph tags (og:title, og:description, og:image) for social sharing
* XML sitemap at /sitemap.xml — automatically includes all published pages and posts
* Canonical tag per page
* Robots meta tag per post (index/noindex)
* Title template with variables (%title%, %sitename%, %sep%, %page%)
* Noindex for search results, date archives, tag archives, and author pages
* Schema.org JSON-LD: WebSite on all pages, Organization/Person on homepage, Article on posts/pages

  1. Upload the plugin files to the /wp-content/plugins/santi-tech-disable-posts-comments directory, or install the plugin through the WordPress plugins screen directly.
  2. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ screen in WordPress.
  3. Visit Settings > Santi Tech to configure which features you want to enable.
Can I re-enable comments later?

Yes. Just disable the “Disable Comments” option in Settings > Santi Tech.

Does this affect custom post types?

No, this plugin only targets the default “Posts” and “Comments”.

Will disabling Gutenberg affect my existing content?

No, your existing content remains the same. This only changes the editor interface to the classic editor.

Is it safe to allow SVG uploads?

SVG files can contain scripts, so only enable this if you trust your admin users.

Great simple plugin
