A few days ago I received another interesting question from one of my readers ... He was looking for a simple method of removing the standard blog features from his Wordpress website ...
But let's start with the obvious question ... Why disable blog features in Wordpress?
I know ... On first hearing, it may sound weird ... After all, Wordpress is known as the best blogging platform ...
And it is! If you want to start a blog, Wordpress is your best choice.
But Wordpress is not a just a "simple" blogging platform ... Wordpress is also the best CMS (Content Management System) in the world. And some websites really don’t need blog features ... In fact, that's the point: with Wordpress you can build ANY kind of website.
In other words: Wordpress is completely capable of building websites without using any blogging features at all. And the truth is that building websites with no blogs or any blogging related elements it's a very common scenario among Wordpress users. Personally, I have several Wordpress-based websites without any blogging features ...
But there's a small "problem" ... While many blog features (posts, categories, tags, comments, etc) can be easily "removed" from the front end, they will still be visible in the admin area. And that can be very annoying and confusing ...
The point: if you don't need blog features, it's always better to "convert" your Wordpress installation into a "regular", non-blogging content management system. Relax, it's easier than you think ... It can be done with a few simple clicks, without writing any code ...
This is is why I've decided to create this short tutorial where I will show you how to easily disable the standard blog features on your Wordpress website.
