Title: Remove @User Autocomplete from Block Editor Author: Jb Audras Published: March 10, 2022 Last modified: November 27, 2025 --- Search plugins ![](https://ps.w.org/remove-user-autocomplete-from-block-editor/assets/icon.svg? rev=2692036) # Remove @User Autocomplete from Block Editor By [Jb Audras](https://profiles.wordpress.org/audrasjb/) [Download](https://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/remove-user-autocomplete-from-block-editor.0.1.zip) * [Details](https://test.wordpress.org/plugins/remove-user-autocomplete-from-block-editor/#description) * [Reviews](https://test.wordpress.org/plugins/remove-user-autocomplete-from-block-editor/#reviews) * [Installation](https://test.wordpress.org/plugins/remove-user-autocomplete-from-block-editor/#installation) * [Development](https://test.wordpress.org/plugins/remove-user-autocomplete-from-block-editor/#developers) [Support](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/remove-user-autocomplete-from-block-editor/) ## Description Removes the @user autocomplete feature from the block editor. By default on Gutenberg, when you type `@`, the block editor performs a search through the users of your WordPress install to suggest you to “@-mention” them (see animated screenshot below for a demo of the default feature). It can be annoying when you are writing email addresses in the editor. This plugin removes the feature from the editor. ## Screenshots * [[ * This plugin removes the default Gutenberg user autocomplete feature. ## Installation 1. Install the plugin and activate it in your WordPress Admin. 2. That’s all! No settings needed. ## Reviews ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/1bca4adeff1a9a804506c40f197c0f7545234540ba92d699c0ec2c72ec4b19b3? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Perfect solution to a problem that shouldn’t exist](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/perfect-solution-to-a-problem-that-shouldnt-exist/)󠁿 [olppa](https://profiles.wordpress.org/olppa/) July 1, 2022 This was exactly what is was looking for. I think more people are going to be installing this plugin shortly. And if the Wordpress dev team happens to read this. Why would you come up with this autocomplete nonsense? I don’t get it. Why would I be constantly be adding an email address to text blocks that belong to a site user? Emails are not that long. There is no reason for the autocomplete feature. Anyway, thank you to Jb for making this. ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/0c626a8962bf56ef1a02f210f7ed33099aabc3c0e7612a2b3ddf8b25f31118a8? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[EXCELLENT !](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/excellent-11676/)󠁿 [king76](https://profiles.wordpress.org/king76/) March 10, 2022 1 reply Thank you very much, it’s perfect !
