WP Baseline

One plugin. A cleaner, faster WordPress.

Every WordPress site carries the same handful of rough edges: a generic
login screen, comment spam on pages that were never meant to have
comments, clunky category URLs, and extra code loading on every page that
nobody asked for.

WP Baseline fixes all of it from one clean settings
page — organized into simple, well-labeled groups, with plain-language
descriptions under every option. Turn on what you need. Leave the rest
off. Your site stays exactly as WordPress intended, just tidier.

Core Features (Free)

Yes, free and in free – and we won’t nag you constantly to upgrade.

  • Custom login screen logo — swap the WordPress logo on your login page for your own, no design skills required.
  • “Remember Me” on by default — one less click for you and your team every time you log in.
  • Turn off comments — site-wide, or just on the content types where you don’t want them (Pages but not Posts, for example).
  • Lock comments down everywhere it counts — including the REST API and XML-RPC, not just the comment box on the page.
  • Cleaner admin menu — hide comment-related menus and columns you’re not using.
  • Shorter, cleaner web addresses — drop the /category/ and /tag/ from your archive links (yoursite.com/news/ instead of yoursite.com/category/news/).

Pro Features

  • Custom login screen colors — match your login page to your brand, background and text color included.
  • Custom CSS on the login screen — full styling control for anyone comfortable with a little code.
  • Full site cleanup toolkit — trim the extra scripts, styles, and metadata WordPress loads on every page that most sites never use, for a faster, leaner site.
  • Advanced controls — turn off RSS feeds you’re not using, simplify the writing screen, control the admin toolbar, and fine-tune a few privacy-related settings — all from the same place.
