DISABLE COMMENTS VIA XML-RPC And REST API

Important note: Use this plugin if you don’t want comments at all on your site (or on certain post types). Don’t use it if you want to selectively disable comments on individual posts – WordPress lets you do that anyway. If you don’t know how to disable comments on individual posts, there are instructions in the FAQ.

If you come across any bugs or have suggestions, please use the plugin support forum. I can’t fix it if I don’t know it’s broken! Please check the FAQ for common issues.

Want to contribute? Here’s the GitHub development repository.

A must-use version of the plugin is also available.

Advanced Configuration

Some of the plugin’s behavior can be modified by site administrators and plugin/theme developers through code:

Define DISABLE_COMMENTS_REMOVE_COMMENTS_TEMPLATE and set it to false to prevent the plugin from replacing the theme’s comment template with an empty one.
Define DISABLE_COMMENTS_ALLOW_DISCUSSION_SETTINGS and set it to true to prevent the plugin from hiding the Discussion settings page.

These definitions can be made either in your main wp-config.php or in your theme’s functions.php file.

THIS PLUGIN IS NOW MAINTAINED BY THE TEAM WPDeveloper.

Najczęściej zadawane pytania

Nothing happens after I disable comments on all posts – comment forms still appear when I view my posts.

This is because your theme is not checking the comment status of posts in the correct way.

You may like to point your theme’s author to this explanation of what they are doing wrong, and how to fix it.

How can I remove the text that says „comments are closed” at the bottom of articles where comments are disabled?

The plugin tries its very best to hide this (and any other comment-related) messages.

If you still see the message, then it means your theme is overriding this behaviour, and you will have to edit its files manually to remove it. Two common approaches are to either delete or comment out the relevant lines in wp-content/your-theme/comments.php, or to add a declaration to wp-content/your-theme/style.css that hides the message from your visitors. In either case, make you you know what you are doing!

I only want to disable comments on certain posts, not globally. What do I do?

Go to the edit page for the post you want to disable comments on. Scroll down to the „Discussion” box, where you will find the comment options for that post. If you don’t see a „Discussion” box, then click on „Screen Options” at the top of your screen, and make sure the „Discussion” checkbox is checked.

You can also bulk-edit the comment status of multiple posts from the posts screen.

I want to delete comments from my database. What do I do?

Go to the tools page for the Disable Comments plugin and utlize the Delete Comments tool to delete all comments or according to the specified post types from your database.

Works with any problem One of my favorites Tnx

One very weird thing about WordPress is how pervasive comments are, for example a robot can comment on an image in the media library. That comment is never seen on the website but has to be moderated by the site owner. This plugin solves that issue and of course is great for turning of comments on posts and pages for sites that don't want comments. Again wordpress is a bit weird because while you can turn off comments on new posts, older posts are harder deal with - all solved by this excellent plugin.

I've used this plugin on several sites for years, and this week was the first time it's ever caused a problem. The developer had a fix ready within 24 hours. I'll continue to use this plugin in confidence. Thanks for such a dependable plugin!
