Perguntas frequentes
-
Do any features activate automatically?
-
No. Every feature is off by default. You choose exactly what to enable.
-
Will disabling the REST API break the block editor?
-
No. The toggle only blocks unauthenticated requests. Logged-in users and the block editor are unaffected.
-
Post Revisions or the Plugin/Theme Editor toggle is not working — why?
-
WP_POST_REVISIONS and DISALLOW_FILE_EDIT are core constants that work most reliably when defined in wp-config.php before WordPress loads. The plugin sets them at runtime as a convenience, but for guaranteed effect add them to wp-config.php directly.
-
Will my settings be deleted if I deactivate the plugin?
-
No. Settings are only removed when you delete the plugin. An uninstall.php file handles clean removal.
