To deactivate a plugin in WordPress:
-
Go to the Plugins section in your WordPress dashboard.
-
Find the plugin you want to deactivate.
-
Click Deactivate.
If you want to uninstall the plugin completely:
-
After deactivating it, click Delete to remove it from your site.
Deactivating a plugin turns it off but keeps it installed, so you can enable it again later. Uninstalling removes it completely from your WordPress site.
