How To Easily Replace Multiple WordPress Plugins In One Go

Does your WordPress site have too many plugins and are you looking for ways to reduce the number of plugins installed? Since you’re reading this article, you are, right? Admin and Site Enhancements (ASE) is here to do the trick.

ASE Pro

One of our sites, a community powered by BuddyBoss, has way too many plugins installed. How do you know too many is too many, you might be asking? Well, that is a good question!

When your site goes down, the first thing you do is check if your server is still up and running. If it is, you should switch to a default WordPress theme and disable all the plugins. Then you need to enable each plugin one by one until you find the culprit. On a site with just a few plugins, this is no big deal. However, for sites with lots of plugins installed, this can be a tedious task.

Not to mention the impact on site performance, which can often be caused by the poor quality of some plugins.

Features

A few weeks ago, we were therefore also looking to reduce the number of plugins. Firstly, we removed some nice-to-have plugins, but there were still far too many. We finally found what we were looking for at Admin and Site Enhancements and purchased the ASE Pro version which comes with Pro modules and advanced features.

Once installed, you will find the settings under Tools > Enhancements in your WP Admin, which are clearly arranged in the following 8 vertical tabs:

• Content Management, e.g. Custom Content Types, Content Duplication, Media Categories & SVG Upload
• Admin Interface, e.g. Hide Admin Notices, Admin Menu Organizer, Admin Columns Manager & Disable Dashboard Widgets
• Log In / Log Out, e.g. Change Login URL, Log In/Out Menu & Redirect After Login/Logout
• Custom Code, e.g. Code Snippets Manager, Custom Admin CSS & Insert Head, Body, and
  Footer Code
• Disable Components, e.g. Disable Gutenberg, Disable Comments & Disable All Updates
• Security, e.g. Limit Login Attempts, Obfuscate Author Slugs & Disable XML-RPC
• Optimizations, e.g. Image Upload Control, Revisions Control & Heartbeat Control
• Utilities, e.g. Email Delivery, Multiple User Roles, View Admin as Role & Maintenance Mode

Despite its rather bulky name, Admin and Site Enhancements is modular and lightweight, allowing you to enable only the modules you need.
