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 behaviour 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.

FAQ

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.

What was a very useful, very effective plugin is now a bloated mess. Let's be honest, turning comments on/off globally is something that should have been built into core 10 years ago. For a decade though this plugin cleanly and simply filled that need. I installed it by default on 90% of the sites I built for clients. With V2 however is has a massive UI to control things, lots of popup messages/advertising, admin notices, banners etc. All that is needed is a single checkbox for "disable comments", nobody needs a whole settings UI for this. I'm switching all our managed sites over to Disable Comments RB, which is I'm pretty sure is just a fork of v1 of this.

I use to love this plugin. But it is now completly out of the line now ! Too intrusive for such a basic Feature. I DON NOT WANT to help. I do not WANT pop-UP ! I do not Want annoying useless functions. PLEASE, DO NOT USE PLUGINS AS TROJAN FTO SELL PREMIUM FEATURE

telsenome 5 kwietnia 2021

We needed to disable comments globally. The solution? We just downloaded this plugin and it was as easy as 1-2-3. Very grateful for that!

danielepais 5 marca 2021

Wether you want to disable media comments only or posts, pages and media, or even rest api comments....or even all of them all together. This plugin will do the job with a click..! Very useful.

Stanislav Khromov 26 stycznia 2021

Unfortunately the new developer is clearly looking to monetize an extremely basic plugin like this. Unwanted notices in the WordPress admin that ask you to opt-in to tracking of your site data. (To "improve the experience", no doubt.) Stay away from this or use the older version 1.11.0 which did not have tracking. (At least until the new developer removes the old version for whatever reason.)

This use to be a simple an efficient little plugin that worked just great. I used it for years with no problems. Now it's just a data harvesting tool of everything you have on your site. You could have just let this plugin alone the way it was and create a "Pro-Crap" version where you can make some money selling the ridiculous unnecessary features you now offer, while leaving the free version untouched without any data harvesting and no changes. Please don't even try to defend the fact that you will be not collecting data from sites here. You are going to sound like the expensive hotel bills with the fine print below "For your convenience an 18% hospitality charge has been added to your total bill" For my convenience you are charging me 18% more? Gee thanks! In this case you: "For your convenience we will be collecting all the data on your site to make this plugin work better". You said that there is an option out. The problem is that when you update the plugin to the new version you are already "opted in". You have to manually opt out, by then you probably have already collected the information you needed. Looking at your source code sounds like you can reverse it anytime even after opting out. Thank goodness I found a function.php script that will do exactly what this plugin used to do, "Disable all comments" without the bloated version you have implemented. I have deleted your plugin from all my sites.
