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 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.
