Disable Embeds

Description

What this plugin does:

  • Prevents others from embedding your site.
  • Prevents you from embedding other non-whitelisted sites.
  • Disables all JavaScript related to the feature.
  • Removes support for the WordPress embed block in the new block editor.

Just activate the plugin and you’re good to go.

Want embeds back again? Simply deactivate the plugin.

Installation

Manual Installation

  1. Upload the entire /disable-embeds directory to the /wp-content/plugins/ directory.
  2. Activate Disable Embeds through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress.

FAQ

Is it really that easy?

Yes.

What about previous embeds?

Since WordPress caches all embed codes, previous embeds from other sites will still work. However, your own site’s embeds won’t work at all when using this plugin.
