Repository metrics are context, not quality scores. Active installations measure adoption and can strongly reflect a plugin’s age and historical popularity. Ratings, recent updates and “Tested up to” metadata also do not guarantee modern code, error-free operation, security, feature completeness or suitability for a particular site. Why active installs don’t tell the whole story →

WP PlugIndex currently records No Categories version 1.0 as active, updated 18y ago and tested up to WordPress 2.5.

Overview

About this plugin

Do you keep a simple blog, where you don’t define specific categories for your posts but simply let them all be uncategorized and use tags instead? Do you, like me, feel that all the categorizing stuff comes in the way of your content and your blog? Do you feel that keeping only one category seems superflous, but WordPress just forces you to?

Then this plugin might be for you!

This plugin is mostly cosmetic, as it doesn’t change or actually remove any categories, but hides any options to change them, so all posts are in fact put in the default category (usually “Uncategorized”). This currently includes the category section on the edit pages and the “Manage categories” section on the admin pages. Published posts will not mention categories, and the Category widget has been removed.

As it doesn’t actually remove the categories or modify any files, this plugin will not affect any other plugins’ usage of categories. This means “Uncategorized” will show up on statistic pages, etc.

“Tested up to” is directory metadata supplied by the plugin author. WP PlugIndex does not turn an older declaration into a claim that the plugin is incompatible.
