Hide AI

Description

This plugin is for WordPress users who want a clutter-free interface, without AI buttons and options taking up space.

The point is not to discourage the use of AI in general. In fact, AI was used in research and development, and creation of assets for this plugin. However, theme and plugin developers are injecting buttons and links into core interfaces of the WordPress admin area, as well as in the Gutenburg editor, and it is these areas that this plugin is meant to clean up.

Details

The areas in which AI buttons and links are hidden are limited to core interfaces such as the Media Gallery, Gutenburg, Posts, Pages, and other settings or configuration pages. Plugin setting pages, page editors, etc will be considered on a case-by-case basis but are likely something for the future.

How to use

Simply install and activate the plugin. That’s it! There are no settings or options. The plugin takes action only in the admin area, and will automatically hide content from known sources.

Plugins and Themes

The plugin hides AI options generated by the following:

  • All in One SEO
  • Elementor
  • Otter Blocks
  • PostX
  • Rank Math SEO
  • Spectra
  • Yoast

If you use a plugin or theme that is adding AI buttons to the interface, please submit a Support request to have it included in a later version:

FAQ

How can I help?

There are a few ways you can help make Hide AI better and support more development:

  • Install it on WordPress sites you manage or are developing
  • Tell your friends, write a blog post, mention it on social media, etc
  • Follow the project on GitHub
  • Add a Support request with additional AI options that can be hidden

Why am I still seeing certain AI buttons or links even after installing the plugin?

First, check the “Plugins and Themes” list to see if the one you are using is listed.

This plugin will be a constantly growing project. If you have a theme or plugin that is injecting an AI link or button that isn’t covered, please add a request to the support forum:

https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/hide-ai/

Also, if the AI option you are seeing is part of that plugin’s interface, it may fall outside the scope of what Hide AI is trying to do. The objective is to clean up the core areas of the admin interface (media, posts, pages, etc).

Andrew Hoyer gets it. If there’s a problem, create a solution. AI being “all the rage” has made the WordPress UI ugly, confusing, and generally a bad experience. But you don’t have to sit in silence. Your clients don’t have to be confused by shiny new buttons. You won’t have to worry about people breaking their sites by trying to help with AI. Andrew fixed the problem. Hide the AI buttons. Thank you.

As an agency that provides website care/maintenance, the struggle is real when it comes to AI features from third parties cluttering WordPress, and this plugin offers the option to hide them globally with ease. Install. Activate. Done! Check out Hide AI if you are facing similar challenges with AI features on WordPress sites under your management. This plugin has truly solved a long-standing problem for us, and I hope it helps others as well.
