Manual Installation

Upload the entire /disable-embeds directory to the /wp-content/plugins/ directory.
Activate Disable Embeds through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress.

FAQ

Is it really that easy?

Yes.

What about previous embeds?

Since WordPress caches all embed codes, previous embeds from other sites will still work. However, your own site’s embeds won’t work at all when using this plugin.
