How To Disable Any Plugin From a Particular Post or Page

I’d like to share a top secret “secret” with you guys. Are you guys listening? If yes, I just found out that I am totally in love with WordPress :). I just can’t keep the secret to myself anymore so I had to tell you guys. But seriously do you feel the same way as i do? Well let’s continue…

disable-plugin

I am in love with WordPress because, just like blogger blog, I have the options to do exactly what my mind visualize with the help of some few plug-ins and with a little bit of coding knowledge. Even those who don’t know a thing about coding can still use WordPress to their advantage. Now who wouldn’t love a platform that gives you 99.9% privilege to do whatever you wish to do? But hey! I am not here to discuss with you how awesome WordPress is. I did come here today to show you a simple way of disabling any plug-in you wish to, in any particular post on your blog without using any hard coding or plug-in.

Disabling Any Plugin From a Particular Post or Page

Must Read: Do You Always Get Tagged On Facebook? Here Is A Simple Way To Untag Yourself

I don’t know about you but my main reason of disabling any plugin from a particular post is – if I feel that a particular plug-in is not supposed to be in a particular post or page, I’ll disable that particular plugin. Let me give some proper examples;

→ The fact is, social share is not supposed to be in your contact page so the best option is to disable it on just that particular page.

→ Google adsense don’t like their ads to be displayed on post or a page that is against their TOS. So if you are about to post anything that is against adsense policy, it is good to disable adsense only in that particular post.

→ Do you have any other reason(s) of disabling a plug-in in any particular post or page? Then let us know by using the comment section below.

Now this is how to disable a particular plug-in in a particular post or page…

In your WordPress Dashboard, go to the post you don’t want a particular plug-in to appear and click edit.

In the Edit post section, click “Screen options” to dropdown options [See image below]

screen-option

Now click “Custom field” as seen in the image above. Now scroll down (below your post) to where the custom field area is.

   

Have you seen it? If yes, we are going to set the key which is the name and also the value [See image below]

custom-value

If I want to disable sexy bookmark on a particular post, I’ll manually type “Hide Sexybookmark” in the name field and set the value to “No”

Or – let’s say I don’t want Google adsense to appear on a particular post and I am using easy adsense plug-in to display my adsense. In the name field, I’ll type adsense and set the value to No

custom-field

By doing this, that particular plug-in will not show on that particular post.

Apart from blocking a particular plugin on a particular post, you can also use the custom field to achieve so many things such as using the metadata to store an expiration date for a post and more…

Please do put this at the back of your mind that it might not work on all plug-ins :).

Back to you

Hope I did say so much about so much on the topic at hand? Well, let me pass the keyboard to you guys…

Do you have any other ways of blocking a particular plugin in a particular post without using plugin? Then please do show us using the comment box below…

    Hi Babanature,

    Oh yes…that’s exactly how I do it too – thank God I knew something well in advance as well 🙂

    I liked the way you took the screenshots and explained things here. I agree with you that on certain pages you really don’t need a few of the plugin or the social share buttons. Same is the case with Google Adsense, which I think you should avoid on places where it’s against their policy before you get banned.

    Thanks for letting us know how we can disable the plugins. Have a nice week ahead 🙂

    BTW – The commentluv isn’t working presently 🙂

    Hello Harleena,
    Aha.. It is good to hear that you already know about this tut before hand :).
    Unlike you, many many bloggers out there don’t know how to so they use plugin to achieve this. It not everything we bloggers should use plugin for… 🙂
    Thanks for your valuable comment as usual my friend :)….
    P.S. the commentluv is working fine at my end but i have cleared my blog cache, you can try it again or use a different browser… 🙂

    Cool stuff Babanature! This tip helps you save time and headaches too. As you noted your Adsense can run into trouble if a set page or post violates TOS.

    Doing this provides you with a quick fix.

    Thanks for sharing!

    Hi Babanature,

    I was not familiar with this but I don’t have plugins on posts or pages that they shouldn’t be. Most plugins will give you the option to not display them in certain places anyway so this has never been an issue for me. I can see though why this would come in handy so thanks for sharing this.

    I just learned something new and you’re right, we do love our WordPress don’t we!

    Thanks Babanature for sharing this cool tip and you be sure to have a wonderful week okay.

    I find this plugin pretty helpful for Adsense, as you said they don’t allow us to show ads in TOS and Contact page even I’m breaking this rule and many others.

    However the plugin I’m using has an option that let me insert ads in certain posts and exclude ads from particular pages.

    See you next time bro’. Kind regards!

      Hello Daniel, You are going off topic on this one. I am talking about how to manually disable any plugin from a particular post or page manually… I am not talking about any plugin or adsense. i only use adsense as an example…
      It would be nice if you could breeze through the post next time even if you don’t want too read it all through.

      Well, thanks for the comment and do have a wonderful week ahead 🙂

    Hi babanature,

    I will never thought of this, so I don’t have any ideas on mind to use this. However giving such flexibility is really great. The only issue I think is you have to find out what word will actually disable your desired plugin.

      Hello Qasim,
      Nahh… you don’t need to find out what word works because most of the plugin you are is already listed there. The ones that doesn’t, just type the name of the plugin 🙂

        oh, i was really hoping this solution worked for me. i’m actually having trouble getting the vcita popup to hide on my contact page. the name of the plugin folder is meeting-scheduler-by-vcita but setting that (or vcita) to No does not prevent the popup menu from appearing on the contact page… part of which is also generated by vcita. any advice for me?

          Hello Emily,
          As long as it is a plugin, it will work. You just need to know the string of the plugin, that’s all…

          P.S. it would be nice if you can get a gravatar for yourself so people can take you more professionally.

          Thanks for the comment and do have a wonderful week ahead…

    Awesome tip, Babanature!

    I didn’t know we could do something like this 😉 I usually try to find some other option (Ever since I switched to Headway Themes, it has been easier. Headway allows us to edit the template for each page/post. So, it is easy to hide a plugin, especially if it is a widget).

    This could be useful, though. I am not planning to use Headway in the future – I have “better” themes, so this feature could definitely be helpful.

    Thanks for sharing, Babanature 🙂 Hope you are having a wonderful week!

    Babanature,
    This tip was new to me. I’ve never investigated what to use custom fields for but now I know! Your example to use this to not show social share buttons on your contact form is perfect! Thanks so much for sharing this. Now that I know that this is available, I’m sure that I’ll find uses for it.

    Hi Babanature,
    I also like the freedom we get from WordPress and that is one of the things which keep me there. I also find it wise to do what my mind tells me. Some plug in may not be adding more on a certain post and you have shared good guide on disable plug in.

    Hi Babanature,

    I never knew that this was possible. I actually removed a plugin from my site because I couldn’t get it to stop showing on certain pages that I didn’t want it on.

    I may have to re-install the plugin and use these steps to prevent it from showing up on the pages that I didn’t want it to show up on.

    Thanks for sharing these tips, I know that it helped me and they will definitely help several other people as well. Have a great day.
