Just activate the plugin and you’re good to go. Want embeds back again? Simply deactivate the plugin. ## Ynstallaasje ### 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. ## Resinsjes ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/cc2a9cd5e4097876802a40afc3f0865a84fa3c9d2c2caa6c789218fe9ae52b2f? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Simple Solution to WordPress Embed Bloat](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/simple-solution-to-wordpress-embed-bloat/)󠁿 [TraceMyIP](https://profiles.wordpress.org/tracemyip/) 9 juny, 2025 Finally, a no-fuss plugin that does exactly what it promises! Disable Embeds by Pascal Birchler is perfect if you’re tired of WordPress’s automatic embed features slowing down your site. Just activate and boom – no more unwanted embeds cluttering your content or others embedding your posts without permission. Love how it removes all the JavaScript bloat too. The best part? It’s reversible – just deactivate when you need embeds back. Clean, lightweight, and effective! ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/b87644f25200be1605031513a75b9cd31cba292159b9942c7d5bec55b37b8f9c? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[thanks](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/thanks-2138/)󠁿 [Jules Colle](https://profiles.wordpress.org/jules-colle/) 31 augustus, 2021 just what i needed ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/3be3ebaa8826518795259b7586d7dd22c2a5c10f883c6d48d28abb5e5293ff3b? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Does what it says, has been reliable](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/does-what-it-says-has-been-reliable/)󠁿 [demetris (Demetris Kikizas)](https://profiles.wordpress.org/demetris/) 2 july, 2020 An easy way to drop some weight if you don’t need the functionality that the plugin disables.
