The fix is adding `define( 'WP_AI_SUPPORT', false );` to wp-config.php above the 'stop editing' line. This approach is more reliable than filters or plugins since it loads first. Two coverage gaps exist: plugins with bundled AI and the Connectors screen itself, with a mu-plugin available to address the latter. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it. Read it at the original source: ## Questions this post answers ### How do I completely disable the AI features in WordPress 7.0? Add define('WP_AI_SUPPORT', false); to wp-config.php above the 'stop editing' line. This constant loads before any plugin, so it overrides both the wp_supports_ai filter and disable-AI plugins, neither of which can undo it. Verify it took effect by running wp eval "var_dump( wp_supports_ai() );" and confirming it returns bool(false). _daily.dev surfaces practical fixes like this for developers locking down new WordPress AI defaults._ ### Does WordPress 7.0 send data to AI providers by default? No, core ships without any API keys and sends nothing to OpenAI, Anthropic, or Google until someone manually configures a connector through the Settings → Connectors screen. However, any editor with the appropriate capability can set up a connector, and the stored connector keys are only masked, not encrypted, which leaves a security gap worth addressing. _Teams auditing new WordPress AI defaults can follow coverage like this on daily.dev._ ## Similar posts on daily.dev - [Introducing the Connectors API in WordPress 7.0](https://daily.dev/posts/introducing-the-connectors-api-in-wordpress-7-0-6us9ivcev) · Make WordPress Core · 3 upvotes · 0 comments - [Introducing the AI Client in WordPress 7.0](https://daily.dev/posts/introducing-the-ai-client-in-wordpress-7-0-mphydbhjz) · Make WordPress Core · 13 upvotes · 0 comments - [How I Edit WordPress With AI Coding Agents \(and the Hosting That Makes It Possible\)](https://daily.dev/posts/how-i-edit-wordpress-with-ai-coding-agents-and-the-hosting-that-makes-it-possible--gvxnhijkq) · WP Mayor · 2 upvotes · 0 comments - [Let AI Build Your WordPress Forms, Clean Your Database, and Boost Your Fundraising](https://daily.dev/posts/let-ai-build-your-wordpress-forms-clean-your-database-and-boost-your-fundraising-e6uducgnt) · WordPress Beginner · 0 upvotes · 0 comments - [WordPress 7.0 Ships with AI Foundations in Core, a Modernized Admin, and New Design Tools](https://daily.dev/posts/wordpress-7-0-ships-with-ai-foundations-in-core-a-modernized-admin-and-new-design-tools-ynmhigeoy) · InfoQ · 10 upvotes · 2 comments --- Tags: [#ai](https://daily.dev/tags/ai), [#security](https://daily.dev/tags/security), [#php](https://daily.dev/tags/php), [#wordpress](https://daily.dev/tags/wordpress) [View this post on daily.dev](https://daily.dev/posts/disable-wordpress-ai-features-in-7-0-the-one-line-fix-7hmfgsdef) ```json {"@context":"https://schema.org","@graph":[{"@type":"Organization","@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization","name":"daily.dev","url":"https://daily.dev","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://daily.dev/apple-touch-icon.png","width":180,"height":180},"sameAs":["https://twitter.com/dailydotdev","https://github.com/dailydotdev","https://www.linkedin.com/company/daily-dev-ltd"]},{"@type":"WebSite","@id":"https://daily.dev/#website","url":"https://daily.dev","name":"daily.dev","publisher":{"@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization"},"potentialAction":{"@type":"SearchAction","target":{"@type":"EntryPoint","urlTemplate":"https://daily.dev/search?q={search_term_string}"},"query-input":"required name=search_term_string"}}]} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"TechArticle","headline":"Disable WordPress AI Features in 7.0: The One-Line Fix","url":"https://daily.dev/posts/disable-wordpress-ai-features-in-7-0-the-one-line-fix-7hmfgsdef","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://daily.dev/posts/disable-wordpress-ai-features-in-7-0-the-one-line-fix-7hmfgsdef"},"datePublished":"2026-07-28T04:42:08.761Z","dateModified":"2026-09-13T19:16:58.332Z","description":"WordPress 7.0 introduced a built-in AI Client and a Settings → Connectors screen integrated with OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google, but provides no dashboard...","image":"https://media.daily.dev/image/upload/f_auto,q_auto/v1/posts/1b477b8405e2903ad3bc1e54ffa5429b?_a=AQAEuop","thumbnailUrl":"https://media.daily.dev/image/upload/f_auto,q_auto/v1/posts/1b477b8405e2903ad3bc1e54ffa5429b?_a=AQAEuop","isAccessibleForFree":true,"articleSection":"Medium","inLanguage":"en","publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"daily.dev","url":"https://daily.dev","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://daily.dev/apple-touch-icon.png","width":180,"height":180}},"author":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Medium","logo":"https://media.daily.dev/image/upload/t_logo,f_auto/v1/logos/medium","url":"https://daily.dev/sources/medium_js"},"commentCount":0,"discussionUrl":"https://daily.dev/posts/disable-wordpress-ai-features-in-7-0-the-one-line-fix-7hmfgsdef","interactionStatistic":[{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":{"@type":"LikeAction"},"userInteractionCount":0},{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":{"@type":"CommentAction"},"userInteractionCount":0}],"keywords":"ai,security,php,wordpress","timeRequired":"PT1M"} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"name":"Home","item":"https://daily.dev"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"name":"Medium","item":"https://daily.dev/sources/medium_js"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"name":"Disable WordPress AI Features in 7.0: The One-Line Fix"}]} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"FAQPage","@id":"https://daily.dev/posts/disable-wordpress-ai-features-in-7-0-the-one-line-fix-7hmfgsdef#faq","mainEntity":[{"@type":"Question","name":"How do I completely disable the AI features in WordPress 7.0?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"Add define('WP_AI_SUPPORT', false); to wp-config.php above the 'stop editing' line.
