## Description

> **Note:** This plugin is a fork of the original [Hide SEO Bloat](https://github.com/senlin/so-clean-up-wp-seo)
> plugin (also known as “SO Clean Up Yoast SEO”) created by Pieter Bos.

Toasty Purge hides (sidebar) ads and premium version buttons of Yoast SEO from their
settings pages and your website’s dashboard (and frontend).

#### Features

 * Remove SEO columns from Posts/Pages admin screens
 * Remove SEO/Readability score dropdown filters

#### Multisite Compatible

Yes, Toasty Purge works on WordPress Multisite installations.

#### Why use this plugin?

Since version 20.0 of Yoast SEO, the Settings page has received a complete overhaul,
but still contains many elements that clutter your WordPress admin. Toasty Purge
provides a single settings page where you can control what gets hidden.

#### Credits

This plugin is maintained by [Butiá Labs](https://butialabs.com) and is a fork of
the original work by [Pieter Bos](https://github.com/senlin).

## FAQ

### Where is the settings page?

The link to the page has been added to the Yoast SEO menu and of course there is
also a link to it from the Plugins page.

### Can I use Toasty Purge on Multisite?

Yes, you can. The plugin is fully compatible with WordPress Multisite installations.

### The name of the plugin is confusing, it hides bloat of which SEO plugin?

The name refers to removing the bloat added by Yoast. There is only one SEO plugin
that adds a lot of bloat to the WordPress Dashboard and that is the Yoast SEO plugin.

### The plugin doesn’t do anything!

Do you have the Yoast SEO plugin installed? Toasty Purge hides the bloat from that
plugin only. If you have Yoast SEO installed and the plugin still doesn’t do anything,
please open a [support ticket](https://github.com/butialabs/toasty-purge/issues).

### What happens to database entries on uninstall?

The plugin writes its settings to the database. The included `uninstall.php` file
removes all the plugin-related entries from the database once you remove the plugin
via the WordPress Plugins page (not on deactivation).

### I have an issue with this plugin, where can I get support?
