FAQ
-
Can I re-enable comments later?
-
Yes. Just disable the “Disable Comments” option in Settings > Santi Tech.
-
Does this affect custom post types?
-
No, this plugin only targets the default “Posts” and “Comments”.
-
Will disabling Gutenberg affect my existing content?
-
No, your existing content remains the same. This only changes the editor interface to the classic editor.

Is it safe to allow SVG uploads?

SVG files can contain scripts, so only enable this if you trust your admin users.
