About Disable AI for Security
From the official readme · v1.3.0Description
Disable AI for Security switches off the AI features introduced in WordPress 7.0 — quickly, cleanly, and without a single setting to configure.
WordPress 7.0 introduces built-in AI connectors. They’re a great addition, but not every site needs them. If you prefer to keep your site lean and predictable, or your organization’s policy is to keep AI features off, this plugin gives you a simple one-click way to do exactly that.
Just activate it. That’s it. There is no settings page, no configuration, and nothing to maintain — the plugin starts protecting your site the moment it’s enabled.
What it does
- Disables WordPress AI at the core level. Core stops registering AI providers, rejects AI connectors, and won’t run AI prompts.
- Works for every role. AI is turned off site-wide — for administrators, editors, authors, and everyone else. No exceptions, no per-user toggles.
- Hides the AI admin screens. The Connectors and AI settings pages are removed from wp-admin, and direct links to them are blocked.
- Shows a clear status badge. A small green “AI Disabled” badge in the admin bar confirms protection is active.
Why you’ll like it
- Zero configuration. No setup, no options, no learning curve.
- Works out of the box. Protection is on the instant you activate.
- Lightweight and focused. It does one job and does it well.

Installation
- Upload the
disable-ai-for-securityfolder to the/wp-content/plugins/directory, or install the plugin through the Plugins → Add New screen in WordPress. - Activate the plugin through the Plugins menu.
- Done. AI is now disabled site-wide — there’s nothing else to configure.
