About this plugin
Build a blog-less WordPress site.
Disable Blog is a comprehensive plugin to disable the built-in blogging functionality on your site. You’ll be free to use pages and custom post types without a blog.
The blog is “disabled” when the plugin is activated, which removes support for the core ‘post’ type, hides blog-related admin pages/settings, and redirects urls on both the public and admin portions of the site. Refer to the GitHub readme file for a detailed functionality list.
Important
You need to select a page to act as the home page. If Settings > Reading > “Front Page Displays” is not set to show a page, then this plugin will not function correctly. Not doing so will mean that your post page can still be visible on the front-end of the site.

Site Content & Data
This plugin will not delete any of your site’s data, however existing blog related content will not be accessible while this plugins is active. This includes posts, categories, tags, and related comments.
If you have content and wish to remove it, either delete that content prior to activation or deactivate this plugin, delete it, and re-active.
Comments
Comments remain enabled, unless the ‘post’ type is the only type supporting comments (pages also support comments by default, so the comments section won’t disappear in most cases). If you’re looking to disable comments more thoroughly, check out the Disable Comments plugin.
Categories & Tags
These are disabled unless they are supported by a custom post type.
Custom Post Types
This plugin includes extensive support for custom post types and taxonomies. If you are using a custom post type that supports the built-in category and/or post_tag taxonomies, they will be visible and accessible through that post type.
