## Description

What this plugin does:

 * Prevents others from embedding your site.
 * Prevents you from embedding other non-whitelisted sites.
 * Disables all JavaScript related to the feature.
 * Removes support for the WordPress embed block in the new block editor.

Just activate the plugin and you’re good to go.

Want embeds back again? Simply deactivate the plugin.

## Installation

### Manual Installation

 1. Upload the entire `/disable-embeds` directory to the `/wp-content/plugins/` directory.
 2. Activate Disable Embeds through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress.

## FAQ

### Is it really that easy?

Yes.

### What about previous embeds?

Since WordPress caches all embed codes, previous embeds from other sites will still
work. However, your own site’s embeds won’t work at all when using this plugin.

Finally, a no-fuss plugin that does exactly what it promises! Disable Embeds by 
Pascal Birchler is perfect if you’re tired of WordPress’s automatic embed features
slowing down your site. Just activate and boom – no more unwanted embeds cluttering
your content or others embedding your posts without permission. Love how it removes
all the JavaScript bloat too. The best part? It’s reversible – just deactivate when
you need embeds back. Clean, lightweight, and effective!

An easy way to drop some weight if you don’t need the functionality that the plugin
disables. For me this has been a “set and forget” plugin.

pointless updating if it doesn’t work after WP 4.4.
