Disable Comments – Setup & Usage Guide

Overview

Disable Comments is a WordPress plugin that allows administrators to globally disable comments across their entire site—or network in a multisite environment. It’s ideal for sites that do not need user-generated content or want tighter moderation control.

Plugin Details

  • Version: 2.4.7
  • Type: Comment Management Plugin
  • Dependencies: None

Purpose

This plugin is designed to simplify comment management by providing global or post-type-specific options to disable commenting functionality. It ensures that comments are turned off cleanly, without needing to edit individual post settings.

How to Configure

To configure Disable Comments:

In a WordPress Multisite environment:

  • Go to Network Admin > Settings > Disable Comments.

From here, you can configure global settings for all sites in the network.

Key configuration options include:

  • Everywhere – Disable comments across the entire network.
  • Post Types – Disable comments only on selected content types (e.g., posts, pages).

Usage Instructions

Once settings are applied:

  • Comments will be disabled globally or per post type depending on your settings.
  • Existing comment sections on affected posts/pages will be hidden.
  • Comment-related settings and links will be removed from the admin interface.
