Why you need Disable Comments

Most business sites never use comments, but WordPress keeps the forms open by default. Bots fill the moderation queue with spam, and old posts keep accepting comments nobody reads.

Turning comments off by hand means changing discussion settings, editing every existing post and hiding menus.

What Disable Comments does

  • One switch

    Comment forms, existing comment display and new submissions are all switched off.

  • Cleaner admin

    The Comments menu, the Recent Comments dashboard widget and the admin bar link are removed.

  • WooCommerce aware

    Product reviews can be kept as an exception.

Where Disable Comments helps

  • An agency team in a brick-walled studio reviewing WP Extended settings on a wall screen

    Brochure and business sites

    Close the spam route on sites that only publish news or services.

  • A florist checking her shop website’s WP Extended settings on a laptop at the counter

    Client handover

    Remove a menu the client would never use.

WP Extended vs the Disable Comments plugin

The Disable Comments plugin has 1M+ active installs on WordPress.org. If you only need this one job, that’s a fine choice. If the site also needs other modules on this list, it’s one less plugin to update.

What Disable Comments covers
Switching comments off across the site and admin, with an exception for WooCommerce product reviews.
When to choose the specialist plugin
If you need to bulk-delete existing comments or switch comments off for some post types only, a dedicated plugin can do that.
