Frequently asked questions
What is a feature flag plugin for WordPress?

What is a WordPress feature toggle?
A feature toggle allows administrators to enable or disable WordPress functionality without modifying code.
Do I have to use all of the various features?
Absolutely not. You can turn on or off any feature independently. No more activating and deactivating various plugins.
Does GFT replace a full SEO plugin?
No — GFT provides lightweight title/description fields. If you need advanced sitemaps, schema, redirects, etc., use a dedicated SEO plugin alongside GFT.
How do I allow public pages while force-login is enabled?
Enter paths (one per line) under Force Login → Allowlist, e.g. /, /privacy-policy, /contact.
Will this conflict with my theme or page builder?
GFT is theme-agnostic and works with Gutenberg and other popular builders like Elementor. The features are intentionally minimal and additive.
Can I hide the admin Help/Screen Options only for certain roles?
Yes. Set the minimum capability for each feature in settings.
Will this impact system performance?
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.
Will there be more features?
Yes – I have an additional 20+ features in development such as: * Admin Menu ordering * Disable password resets * Auto downcase email addresses in registration * Send an email to the sites registered users * Turn off login nav links * Change the login error message for improved security * Redirect the login page to a different page * Rename media slugs * Obfuscate email address via shortcode * AND MORE
