PolyUtilities for WordPress

Enhance WooCommerce product pages with custom tabs, clearer content layout, and smoother editing flow. Reduce common WordPress overhead with optional performance tweaks, security headers, and login protection controls. Filter comment spam with flexible rules while keeping administration manageable from single plugin dashboard.

PolyUtilities is a modular WordPress plugin that combines store-focused enhancements (WooCommerce custom tabs, product/page elements, content helpers) with site maintenance utilities (performance optimizations, security settings, spam filtering, duplication tools). Most features work with any theme, while Flatsome users gain additional UX Builder elements to assemble on-brand layouts faster inside the native builder workflow.

WooCommerce product experience and tab management

This cluster focuses on improving product page clarity by adding structured information areas through custom tabs, with controls for global vs product-specific visibility and quick reordering.

Flatsome UX Builder elements and on-page components

For Flatsome theme sites, PolyUtilities adds custom UX Builder elements that help build structured sections (headers, icons, titles, dividers, accordions, portfolios, menus) without custom coding.

Performance and security hardening controls

These settings target common WordPress performance overhead and basic security posture—reducing unnecessary requests, cleaning meta outputs, and adding protective options around login and XML-RPC.

Spam filtering and moderation support

Comment spam filtering centers on rule-based detection, blocking repeat offenders, limiting links, and logging attempts so admins can adjust filters with evidence.

Content enhancements and site utilities

These tools improve readability and navigation (Read More, heading IDs, breadcrumbs), add UI controls (banners/topbars/buttons), support WooCommerce filters management, and reduce repetitive work with duplication features.

PolyUtilities custom WooCommerce tabs let you create, enable/disable, and reorder product tabs using drag & drop, which helps keep product details consistent across catalog without manually editing each product. Global tabs can standardize shipping, warranty, sizing, or policy content, while product-specific tabs cover unique specs or attachments. Rich text and HTML editing supports structured content—images, tables, links—so product info looks intentional on modern storefronts. A Vue.js-based admin interface and real-time preview reduce iteration time when adjusting content and order.

For Flatsome users, UX Builder integration adds dedicated elements for building sections that match common storefront patterns. Style group elements with step numbers and color controls support “how it works” or onboarding blocks; header, title, icon, divider, and follow elements speed up consistent brand presentation across pages. Accordion elements can generate auto FAQ schema, useful for structured Q&A sections. WooCommerce product elements include Meta Pixel integration for stores that want tracking aligned with product displays. Portfolio elements expand layout options with typography effects, gallery modes (grid, masonry, slider, center-focus), featured image controls, related items, and configurable templates/permalinks, making it easier to publish visual content without extra theme edits. Menu gradient backgrounds and header hotline SVG support help refine header and navigation styling within Flatsome conventions.

Performance and security controls aim to remove small sources of overhead and lock down common entry points. Disabling emojis, embeds, and self-pingbacks can reduce extra requests and noise. Meta tag management removes outputs such as shortlink, RSD, WLW manifest, adjacent posts rel, and generator tags when you prefer a cleaner head section. WooCommerce optimization can disable WooCommerce scripts/styles on non-WooCommerce pages to avoid loading store assets across content pages. Admin experience settings let you manage dashboard widgets and admin bar items for a cleaner backend.

Security features include common headers (X-Content-Type-Options, X-Frame-Options, X-XSS-Protection, Referrer-Policy) plus performance meta tags such as viewport and compatibility. XML-RPC blocking reduces exposure when you do not rely on XML-RPC workflows. Login protection adds brute-force defenses, configurable IP blocking (manual or auto), custom login URL, and domain-based user blocking with email pattern detection—useful for organizations that want to limit signups or access from known abusive sources.

Comment spam filtering provides rule-based coverage across comment content, author name, email, and website fields. Keyword/domain/email/IP blocks help stop repeat patterns, while link-count limiting targets link-heavy spam submissions. Logging of spam attempts gives visibility into what gets blocked so you can tune rules without guessing. User-facing messaging stays simple, helping keep moderation consistent.

Before/after image comparisons enable interactive slider views (horizontal or vertical) with customizable handle colors, background, and labels. Shortcode insertion supports posts and pages, and managing multiple comparisons helps teams reuse assets across landing pages or case studies without rebuilding layouts.

Content enhancement tools support more readable pages and better internal navigation. Read More helps collapse long content groups with multilingual support. Automatic heading ID generation supports anchor navigation and content features that rely on consistent IDs. Breadcrumb customization extends across posts, taxonomies, and custom post types. RSS feed controls, social icon integration, banners/topbars with carousel and center-focused modes, custom buttons management, and WooCommerce filters management provide additional UI and merchandising flexibility.

Duplicate post types features reduce repetitive setup by cloning posts, pages, custom post types, and taxonomies while preserving metadata. Role-based permissions and bulk actions help teams maintain control over who can duplicate content while speeding up page production workflows.

Additional utilities include custom CSS (desktop/tablet/mobile) and JavaScript injection, custom fonts (local and Google Fonts), homepage/posts page quick setup metabox, modular packaging, logging/debugging, and translation readiness—supporting sites that need both content flexibility and maintainable administration.

PolyUtilities runs on WordPress (minimum WordPress 5.0) with PHP 7.4+ (PHP 8.0+ recommended) and MySQL 5.6+ or MariaDB 10.1+. WooCommerce 3.0+ is required for the Custom Tabs feature. Most modules are theme-independent; Flatsome theme is recommended to access dedicated UX Builder elements. Plugin provides admin configuration screens for Custom Tabs, Before/After Image, Spam Filter, Performance & Security, and License management.

PolyUtilities fits sites that want fewer moving parts while still improving product presentation, moderation, and baseline optimization. It becomes especially useful when a store needs structured product information, predictable content patterns, and pragmatic security controls, and when Flatsome users want builder-friendly elements that align with their existing workflow.
