Reviews

This is a really handy and powerful plugin. To be honest, turning comments on and off worldwide should have been incorporated into core ten years ago. For a decade, though, this plugin neatly and simply met that requirement. Another Disable Comments plugin was destroyed by a bloated update that made it unusable. Disable Comments RB is a similar plugin to the original. It’s basic and effective, with no unnecessary bloat. I’m migrating hundreds of sites to this new plugin.

CONCLUSION

Administrators can use this plugin to block comments across the board or for specific post types exclusively. It allows you to turn off comments altogether on your WordPress site. Disable Comments is a well-known and well-respected plugin that allows you to turn off all comments on your WordPress site with a single click.
