# Vincent Defaults
|
|
|
|
A WordPress plugin that sets my preferred default options after a fresh WordPress installation.
|
|
|
|
## Description
|
|
|
|
Vincent Defaults is a personal plugin I created to automate my post-installation WordPress setup. It applies the tweaks and modifications I typically perform after setting up a new WordPress site, saving me time and ensuring consistency across my projects.
|
|
|
|
## What This Plugin Does
|
|
|
|
This plugin automates several tasks I usually perform after a fresh WordPress installation:
|
|
|
|
- Removes comment functionality entirely (I rarely use comments on my sites)
|
|
- Hides the admin bar for new users and on the front end (I prefer a cleaner front-end experience)
|
|
- Declutters the dashboard by removing:
|
|
- WordPress Events and News
|
|
- Activity widget
|
|
- Quick Draft widget
|
|
- Removes Discussion Settings from the menu (since I disable comments)
|
|
- Automatically sets Discussion settings to disable comments on all posts and pages
|
|
- Removes the 'About WordPress' icon from the admin bar
|
|
- Hides the 'Thank you for creating with WordPress' message in the admin footer
|
|
|
|
## Why I Created This
|
|
|
|
I found myself performing these same tasks repeatedly on new WordPress installations. This plugin allows me to activate it once and have my preferred setup instantly, streamlining my workflow and ensuring I don't forget any of my usual tweaks.
|
|
|
|
## Installation
|
|
|
|
1. After a fresh WordPress installation, download this plugin.
|
|
2. Upload it to the `/wp-content/plugins/vincent-defaults` directory, or install it through the WordPress plugins screen.
|
|
3. Activate the plugin.
|
|
|
|
## Usage
|
|
|
|
Once activated, the plugin automatically applies all my preferred settings. No additional configuration is needed. I typically activate this plugin immediately after installing WordPress and before starting any site development.
