Was für ein großartiges plugin. Möge es über die nächsten Jahre immer mehr Funktionen mit einschließen. Macht die WordPress Seite einfach viel schlanker und flinker.

After reading the article/review in WP Tavern, I installed No Nonsense on three sites, turning off several things I find annoying in WP (especially the Widgets Block Editor) and it's working very well. Thanks!
