Post Control from WordPress CMS Modifications gives you complete control over your write controls. It not only allows you to hides unwanted items like custom fields, trackbacks, revisions etc. but also gives you a whole lot more control over how WordPress deals with creating content! This helps you use WordPress more like a CMS, alowing you to totally customise what your authors see and use.

The latest version of Post Control covers all features of WordPress 2.6 and is a substantial upgrade over the previous version - inlcuding full admin over-ride of hidden panels from users of lower levels.

V1.11 introduces some new coding that should fix conflicts with other plugins and theme option pages

With this plugin you can control the following advanced options:

• Force standard browser upload instead of Flash upload - great if you are having trouble with the Flash uploader, this stops you needing to select 'browser uploader' every time if the Flash uploader doesn't work for you!

• Turn off the revisions feature, some people don't want to use this. This is great when you are developing a site - why clutter up your database with loads of revisions when you don't need them! Just turn them off whilst you are developing the site, then turn back on if you want the functionality back on site launch!

• Turn off the auto save feature, some people have problems with this or don't wish to be interpurpted as they type.

• Create a collapsable message panel that appears below the write panel, alowing you to show messages to authors.

We love WordPress, and think it makes a fantastic CMS - this plugin goes one step further to making WordPress behave more like a CMS and a-little less like a blog! Some of the options are confusing for many people (or they simply don't use them!), so make their lives simple by using Post Control!

This plugin builds upon some great work by Brady J. Frey, Mark Jaquith. Many thanks to Pete Innes for bug swatting, testing and fresh eyes on the code!
