Hide SEO Bloat

由 SO WP 開發

外掛說明

Hides (sidebar) ads and premium version buttons of Yoast SEO from their settings pages and your website’s dashboard (and frontend).

The first version of the Hide SEO Bloat plugin was released in April 2015 and ever since team Yoast and I have been playing a game of cat and mouse.

Since version 20.0 of Yoast SEO however, the Settings page has received a complete overhaul, which made the Hide SEO Bloat plugin almost obsolete!

Things have become much, much more trickier to remove/hide now and some things simply can no longer be hidden (believe me, I have tried).

Why are there still people using Yoast SEO one might ask? There are so many great alternatives that come without screaming ads and hiding features behind a paywall!

And the only reason that I have to keep Yoast SEO installed (on a sandbox that is) is because of the mere 10K installs where Hide SEO Bloat is running. Compare that with my popular Classic Editor + plugin, which has more than 30,000 active installs!

For everyone to become much more productive and happier, my proposal therefore is to switch to any of the other SEO plugins, such as SEOPress, The SEO Framework, Rankmath, or any other one out there! Did you know that most SEO plugins come with easy one-click migration tools?

I support this plugin exclusively through Github. Therefore, if you have any questions, need help and/or want to make a feature request, please open an issue over at Github. You can also browse through open and closed issues to find what you are looking for and perhaps even help others.

Thanks for your understanding and cooperation.

If you like the Hide SEO Bloat plugin, please consider leaving a review. You can also help a great deal by translating the plugin into your own language.
Alternatively you are welcome to make a donation. Thanks!

常見問題集

Where is the settings page?

The link to the page has been added to the Yoast SEO menu and of course there is also a link to it from the Plugins page.

Can I use Hide SEO Bloat on Multisite?

Yes, you can.
For version 2.4.0 Andy Fragen has refactored that part of the plugin to make it fully Multisite compatible. The Settings screen only shows in Network Admin as it doesn’t make sense that individual sites override the Network Settings.

The name of the plugin is confusing, it hides bloat of which SEO plugin?

Yes, you are right, the name is a bit vague (see Changelog v1.8.0). On the other hand there is only one SEO plugin that adds a lot of bloat to the WordPress Dashboard and that is the Yoast SEO plugin.

The plugin doesn’t do anything!

Do you have the Yoast SEO plugin installed? It hides the bloat from that plugin only.
If you have and the plugin still doesn’t do anything, then please open a support ticket.

With a settings page comes additional entries in the database; what happens on uninstall?

Great question!
Indeed the Hide SEO Bloat plugin writes its settings to the database. The included uninstall.php file removes all the plugin-related entries from the database once you remove the plugin via the WordPress Plugins page (not on deactivation).

I have an issue with this plugin, where can I get support?

Please open an issue on Github

Please create more stuff that kills nags. Do one for all of Wordpress. Block all. It's going to be a parasitic business in the future. Unmarketing. You rock. I love this product. Yoast is awesome but wouldn't just stfu. I know you're there yoast. Respect. Too much nag tho.

The beauty of open source

Finally, my entire WP dashboard is now officially my new happy place (It is not to be used as a full on Yoast advertising platform) Together with some tweaks to the functions.php file and this plugin, I can now get on with my work with little to no annoying distractions. While plugin authors have every right to advertise their premium features and to earn a living, Yoast has taken things to a new level of utter obnoxiousness and has forced our hands. Like I say, a classic example of the beauty of open source.

Perfect – thank you.
