## Beskriuwing

The Smart Archive Page Remove Plugin allows you to remove Archive Pages automatically
generated by WordPress

### Retired Plugin

Development, maintenance and support of this plugin has been retired in october 
2023. You can use this plugin as long as is works for you.

There will be no more updates and I won’t answer any support questions. Thanks for
your understanding.

Feel free to fork this plugin.

### Usage

WordPress automatically generates Author based, Category based, Tag based and Date
based (daily, monthly and yearly) archives for your posts. Even if you do not want
to use these Pages – e.g. you don’t want to have an author based archive page on
a single author blog or you don’t want to have a daily archive because you don’t
post several times a day – they exist and they can be accessed by their automated
generated URL.

The smart Archive Page Remove Plugin adds an item ‘Archive Pages’ in the ‘Settings’
section of your WordPress Admin. Here you can select which Archive Pages you want
to **remove**. Removed Archive Pages are no longer accessible and cause a 404 page
not found error. They can be restored anytime.

As far as removing archive pages, it does exactly as described on the tin. Author,
category, tag, daily, monthly and yearly archive pages can all be disabled independently
of each other. You’ll have to make the appropriate modifications to your theme to
avoid broken links, but that’s pretty much to be expected. It doesn’t remove those
pages from the sitemap either (the one generated by vanilla WordPress). See Bence’s
code snippet on the plugin’s forums (search for “sitemap”) if you want to achieve
that.

I was looking into reducing unneeded bloat on my sites (why index unneeded pages
or posts like author archives?) and found this. Easy to use via the slider-style
on/off switches and very simple to get up and going. Good stuff! 😀 Thanks!
