Hi, There is a 500 error when I try to access the settings. I also see many notices on each page. I also see many error suppression symbols in the code.If you are not maintaining this plugin anymore, can you make me contributor so I can fix the plugin and be the new maintainer?Best,Baris

I just want to take this chance to thank you for the bottom of my heart. This is a wonderful plug-in, it does everything I need it to do. It helps me to disable some features that was a security issue for my website. It does a lot more too. To everyone who reads this, if you have the chance and fund, donate to this wonderful person who made it accessible to all of us to use.

Holy smoke, why didn’t I come across this plugin before? This plugin rocks! I use Clearfy on all my sites but XTRA Settings runs rings around it. MANY more tweaking options! The interface looks a bit dated, but it’s nicely divided in sections, and works like a charm. Very happy I stumbled upon this gem. Highly recommended!

Wow, I am now placing this on all sites that I develop. So much behind the scenes information and control. Just, Wow.
