• I’m wondering if there is any impact if/when the plugin is uninstalled at a later date and I change my mind and want to add this functionality back into the site (to then enable writing/blogging)… is there any impact or technical consideration that I should plan *before* I install?

    Hey there,

    Great question! There isn’t really anything technical to worry about before/after activating. After being deactivated the functionality will go away, there’s no modifications to the site’s database or core files or anything like that.

    If you have content that is publicly accessible before activating (published posts, category archives, etc), once the plugin is active those urls will either return a 301 redirect to the homepage or, in most casts, a 404 page. There are potentially SEO impacts to those actions – for instance, if you have a lot of posts and then you activate the plugin and those urls are now gone. Once deactivated, all those urls will be live again.

    Hope that answer’s your questions!

    Cheers,
    Joshua
