KEY FEATURES OF DISABLE COMMENTS

  • All “Comments” links are hidden from the Admin Menu and Admin Bar.
  • All comment-related sections (“Recent Comments”, “Discussion” etc.) are hidden from the WordPress Dashboard.
  • All comment-related widgets are disabled (so your theme cannot use them).
  • The “Discussion” settings page is hidden.
  • All comment RSS/Atom feeds are disabled (and requests for these will be redirected to the parent post).
  • The X-Pingback HTTP header is removed from all pages.
  • I pingback in uscita sono disabilitati.
  • Stop spam comments entirely from the site with one click.
  • Delete comments by type, including WooCommerce product reviews.
  • Disable comments via XML-RPC & REST-API
  • Fully Multi-site Network supported.
  • Manage multiple website network-specific subsites or entire network comments in advance.
  • Exclude Disable Comments Settings based on user roles.
  • Keep the WordPress 6.9+ Block Editor “Notes” comment type working while every other comment stays off.
  • [New in 2.8.0] AI-agent ready: supports the WordPress Abilities API (WP 6.9+), so AI assistants and MCP clients can read your comment settings.

Please delete any existing comments on your site before applying this setting, otherwise (depending on your theme) those comments may still be displayed to visitors. You can use the Delete Comments tool to delete any existing comments on your site.

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.

Configurazione avanzata

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

  • Definisci la variabile DISABLE_COMMENTS_REMOVE_COMMENTS_TEMPLATE e impostane il valore a false per fare in modo che il plugin non sostituisca il template dei commenti del tema con uno vuoto.

  • Definisci la variabile DISABLE_COMMENTS_ALLOW_DISCUSSION_SETTINGS e impostane il valore a true per fare in modo che il plugin non nasconda la pagina delle impostazioni della Discussione.

Questi valori possono essere impostati sia nel file wp-config.php della tua installazione WordPress o nel file functions.php del tuo tema.

THIS PLUGIN IS NOW MAINTAINED BY THE TEAM WPDeveloper.

FAQ

Dopo aver disabilitato i commenti per ogni articolo, sembra non accadere nulla e continuo a vedere il modulo per commentare sotto agli articoli.

Questo comportamento è dovuto al fatto che il tuo tema non controlla correttamente lo stato dei commenti del post.

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

Come posso fare per rimuovere la dicitura “I commenti sono chiusi” sotto agli articoli peri quali i commenti sono stati disabilitati?

Solitamente il plugin fa del suo meglio per nascondere questo messaggio (insieme ad ogni altro inerente i commenti).

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 sure you know what you are doing!

Voglio disabilitare i commenti solo per alcuni articoli. Cosa devo fare?

Apri la pagina di modifica dell’articolo per il quale vuoi disabilitare i commenti. Scrolla verso il basso fino a raggiungere il box “Discussione” dove troverai le opzioni relative ai commenti. Se non vedi il box, fai clic in alto alla pagina su “impostazioni schermata” e controlla che il checkbox “Discussione” sia selezionato.

Puoi anche effettuare una modifica di massa dello stato dei commenti di più articoli dalla schermata degli articoli.

Voglio eliminare tutti i commenti dal mio database. Come posso fare?

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

This cannot be undone. Back up your database before running it.

How do I disable comments across an entire multisite network?

Network-activate the plugin. The settings then live under your Network Admin, where you can either apply one configuration to every site at once or configure individual subsites from the network screen. If you activate the plugin on a single site instead, it only ever affects that site.

How do I disable WooCommerce product reviews?

WooCommerce product reviews are stored as comments on the product post type, so disabling comments on product turns reviews off too. To remove reviews that already exist, use the Delete Comments tool and select the product post type.

Can I configure the plugin from WP-CLI?

Yes. Settings and deletion are both scriptable, which is useful across a fleet of sites:

wp disable-comments settings --types=post
wp disable-comments settings --types=page --add
wp disable-comments settings --xmlrpc --rest-api
wp disable-comments delete --types=all

Run wp help disable-comments settings for the full list of options. Full WP-CLI documentation.

WordPress 6.9 added “Notes” in the Block Editor. Will this plugin break them?

No, as long as you allow them. Notes are technically a comment type (note), so a blanket disable would switch them off along with everything else. Use the Enable Certain Comment Types setting to keep Notes working while all other comments stay disabled.

I disabled comments but a cached page still shows the comment form.

As of version 2.8.0 the plugin clears page caches automatically whenever you save settings or delete comments, so this should resolve itself. If your host or CDN is not covered, it can hook disable_comments_purge_caches to clear its own cache at the same moment.

Note that the plugin never touches your object cache — only page caches. The stale thing is rendered HTML.

Can AI assistants read my comment settings?

Yes, on WordPress 6.9 and above. The plugin registers a read-only disable-comments/get-status ability through the WordPress Abilities API, so AI assistants, the command palette and MCP clients can ask the site where comments are disabled. It is read-only and requires the manage_options capability — nothing can change your settings through it.

What happens if I deactivate the plugin?

Comments go back to whatever WordPress and your theme did before. The plugin filters comment status at runtime rather than rewriting your posts, so your original per-post settings are still intact underneath.

The one exception is the Delete Comments tool: comments it removed are permanently gone and deactivating will not bring them back.

Awsome

21 Luglio 2026
One of my many websites has been getting hacked by numerous Russian comments, as many as twenty a day! I spent hours online with my hosting company, InMotion Hosting, trying to block this, but they suggested using their CloudFlare feature, which was a total pain! I then researched how to block comments on a WordPress site and this was just as much of a pain, with no way to block comments on all posts and pages. Then I discovered this plugin and it worked in about two minutes to block comments everywhere on the site. Thank you!

Simple and Helpful

Disable Comments did what I needed without much setup. Easy to use and saves time when managing site content. Worked fine on my end, though a few extra options would make it even better.

Does The Job

Installed this to quickly turn off comments across my site. Setup took like a minute and everything worked as expected. Simple settings, no confusion. Could use a few more options maybe, but overall pretty solid.

BRILLIANT! Thank you!!

I had a daunting task of first moving 500+ the Pending Comments that I have identified as all SPAM to the Trash folder, page by fricken page, then having to go into the Trash folder to permentantly delete them, page by painstaking page.Then I said there must be a plugin for this. Lo & Behold there was. It was yours. Task finished in less than 3 minute and that included installing and activating the plugin and figuring out which choice I had within the plugin that would accomplish the task. BAM! IT WAS DONE.Bravo!!

[2.9.0] – 2026-09-01

  • New Feature: Conditional rules – disable or re-enable comments by taxonomy term, page template, or post age, instead of by post type alone
  • New Feature: Dry-run preview for Delete Comments – see which comments a delete will remove before running it, and download them as CSV first
  • New Feature: Blocked-attempt counter – see how many comment, trackback and REST attempts the plugin has turned away, reported in Site Health
  • New Feature: Export and import settings as JSON, with a diff preview before anything is written
  • New Feature: WooCommerce product reviews are now a first-class setting, separate from ordinary comments, including closing reviews while other product comments stay open
  • New Feature: Theme conflict scanner – diagnoses a theme that still renders a comment form after comments are disabled
  • New Feature: Abilities API write support (WordPress 6.9+) – AI assistants and MCP clients can change comment settings and delete comments, gated on the same capabilities as the admin screens
  • New Feature: The advanced tools now have a Settings tab of their own, leaving the first screen to the core choice of where comments are off
  • Improved: The Delete Comments preview lists the comments it matched – author, date, post and an excerpt – rather than only how many there are
  • Improved: Conditional rule terms are searchable, so a taxonomy with more than 200 terms is fully reachable
  • Improved: Site Health reports conditional rules, so the overview no longer reads “comments are enabled everywhere” while a rule is closing them
  • Improved: Settings screen layout – aligned rule controls, a readable blocked-attempt breakdown, consistent label sizes, and result boxes that match the rest of the plugin
  • Improved: readme and plugin directory listing rewritten for clarity
  • Fixed: CSV backups escape every free-text column, so a comment cannot execute as a formula when the file is opened in a spreadsheet
  • Fixed: An anonymous REST read is no longer counted as a blocked attempt
  • Fixed: “Counting blocked attempts since” keeps its start date instead of showing today’s date until the first block
  • Fixed: A delete that matches nothing no longer reloads the whole settings screen
  • Fixed: The review prompt can be dismissed on every screen it appears on
  • Fixed: Uninstall removes the review-prompt data the plugin created
  • Fixed: The Abilities API set-status summary describes the site’s configuration rather than the calling user’s role exemption
  • Fixed: “Total Comments” says what it counts, so it no longer contradicts the mode-specific delete preview
  • Developer: disable-comments delete gains --dry-run and --export=<file>; new disable-comments export and disable-comments import WP-CLI commands

[2.8.0] – 2026-07-27

  • New Feature: WordPress Abilities API support (WordPress 6.9+) — AI assistants, the command palette and MCP clients can now ask the site where comments are disabled, via the read-only disable-comments/get-status ability
  • Fixed: Page caches are now purged when settings are saved or comments are deleted — previously a cached page kept serving the comment form after comments were disabled
  • Compatible with WordPress 7.0

[2.7.1] – 2026-07-22

  • Improvement: General improvements

[2.7.0] – 2026-04-05

  • Improvement: Improved overall performance and stability

[2.6.2] – 2026-01-20

  • Fixed: An issue where deleting Notes in WordPress 6.9+ throws an error

[2.6.1] – 2025-12-02

  • Compatible with WordPress 6.9
  • Added: Introduced the “Enable Certain Comment Types” setting, allowing you to exclude the new Block Editor “Notes” comment type introduced in WordPress 6.9
