So ...

On the "General" tab, you can disable/enable posts, comments, author pages, and feed-related features (RSS, pingbacks, trackbacks):


The "Extra" tab will allow you to control several other features like screen options (for your admin area), admin footer text, emoji support, help tabs, and admin greeting:


The "Profile" tab will allow you to customize the profile area for Wordpress user accounts. You'll be able to hide/show various items that users can change on their profile:


Finally, the "Menu" tab will allow you to define how your Wordpress admin menu looks like. Basically, you can choose where your users are taken inside the admin area when they click the "Dashboard" link. Also, you can hide/show icons, separators, etc:


And that's it! You can now use your non-blogging admin area without being distracted by useless, annoying features, menu items, etc.

One last thing ... Usually, a blog will use a blogroll homepage, so if you haven’t already selected a page to be used as your static homepage, then you'll have to go to Settings => Reading to define/select a static front page:


Needless to say, the plugin doesn’t delete anything from your website! It will simply hide those features/items. So if you had posts, categories, comments, etc, they'll become available again when you deactivate/delete the plugin.

And that's it my friends!

I think you're the one I asked about this yesterday :) I need to remove my email address from each blog post but it requires going into the code and I really don't want to break my site by accident. It sounds like your tutorial will cover this, thanks!

So here's my GOOD NEWS: It deleted the 'admin' byline and my email address from all posts at the bottom! yay!! :)

The bad news ... it did not delete the date and posted by admin at the top of each page. It could be because I have multiple theme editors or because my version of WP is 5.2 (the latest). I tried posting new pages from both Site Content here on WA, and also directly within WP but it didn't work.

I'll try to figure this out somehow but this is a great start just to not have my email address appear. Thanks again!

The date and the author archive is called meta data. The way they are displayed is usually theme-related. If you can't find any related options in your theme customizer, then you can hide them by adding the following CSS code in the Custom CSS option of your theme on the below path.

Admin Area -> Appearance -> Customize -> Additional CSS

.entry-header .entry-meta {
display: none;
}

This is something I had never thought about but can see how useful it would be for anyone wanting a non-blogging management system. Great training.
Thanks, Justin
