I’ve used this plugin for years, even when it was outdated. Still, its time has 
come. It generates too many errors now. It spits out 2 errors on nearly every page
load: Deprecated: update_option was called with an argument that is deprecated since
version 5.5.0! The “comment_whitelist” option key has been renamed to “comment_previously_approved”.
And another deprecated warning about contextual_help, which the plugin author mentioned
would be updated, but is yet to be updated. I recently had to turn off the Disable
Posts feature because it was preventing other features from working. So sadly, too
many issues to workaround now.

I have a habit of keeping my WordPress dashboard neat and clean but the big icon
is ruining the look of the plugins page.
