WordPress Feature Toggles<\/h3>\n\n

Great Feature Toggle adds simple feature toggles so you can enable or disable WordPress features without modifying code.<\/p>\n\n

Feature Flag Plugin<\/h3>\n\n

Great Feature Toggle acts as a feature flag plugin for WordPress administrators who want to enable or disable functionality without modifying code.<\/p>\n\n\n

    \n
  1. Upload the plugin folder to \/wp-content\/plugins\/great-feature-toggle\/<\/code> or install via Plugins \u2192 Add New<\/strong>.<\/li>\n
  2. Activate via Plugins<\/strong>.<\/li>\n

    What is a feature flag plugin for WordPress?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

    A feature flag plugin allows administrators to enable or disable WordPress functionality without modifying code.<\/p><\/dd>\n

    What is a WordPress feature toggle?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

    A feature toggle allows administrators to enable or disable WordPress functionality without modifying code.<\/p><\/dd>\n

    Do I have to use all of the various features?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

    Absolutely not. You can turn on or off any feature independently.\nNo more activating and deactivating various plugins.<\/p><\/dd>\n

    Does GFT replace a full SEO plugin?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

    No \u2014 GFT provides lightweight title\/description fields. If you need advanced sitemaps, schema, redirects, etc., use a dedicated SEO plugin alongside GFT.<\/p><\/dd>\n

    How do I allow public pages while force-login is enabled?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

    Enter paths (one per line) under Force Login \u2192 Allowlist<\/strong>, e.g. \/<\/code>, \/privacy-policy<\/code>, \/contact<\/code>.<\/p><\/dd>\n

    Will this conflict with my theme or page builder?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

    GFT is theme-agnostic and works with Gutenberg and other popular builders like Elementor. The features are intentionally minimal and additive.<\/p><\/dd>\n

    Can I hide the admin Help\/Screen Options only for certain roles?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

    Yes. Set the minimum capability for each feature in settings.<\/p><\/dd>\n

    Will this impact system performance?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

    Unlike having numerous plugins, having these in one single place will speed up a site. In fact the Great Feature Toggle plugin goes to great length to help improve performance such as minimizing DB interactions and ensuring the code only run on the specific pages.<\/p><\/dd>\n

    Will there be more features?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

    Yes - I have an additional 20+ features in development such as:\n * Admin Menu ordering\n * Disable password resets\n * Auto downcase email addresses in registration\n * Send an email to the sites registered users\n * Turn off login nav links\n * Change the login error message for improved security\n * Redirect the login page to a different page\n * Rename media slugs\n * Obfuscate email address via shortcode\n * AND MORE<\/p><\/dd>\n

    Is this plugin translation ready?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

    Yes! All strings are wrapped in translation functions.<\/p><\/dd>\n\n<\/dl>\n\n\n
