<li>Theme Compatible: Works with any theme using standard WordPress comment hooks</li>
<li>Lightweight & Secure: Zero performance impact with admin-only security controls</li>
</ul>
How It Works:
The plugin operates on multiple levels to ensure comprehensive spam protection:
<ol>
<li>Form Level: Removes website fields from comment forms via WordPress hooks</li>
<li>Validation Level: Blocks submissions containing HTTP/HTTPS patterns before they’re saved</li>
<li>Method Level: Controls which submission methods (form, API, XML-RPC) are allowed</li>
</ol>
Perfect For:
<ul>
<li>Site owners experiencing backlink spam in comments</li>
<li>Site owners wanting to avoid the hassle of manually managing spam comments</li>
<li>Sites that want to maintain existing comments while preventing new spam</li>

</li>
<li>
Define <code>DISABLE_COMMENTS_ALLOW_DISCUSSION_SETTINGS</code> and set it to <code>true</code> to prevent the plugin from hiding the Discussion settings page.

Disable Comments – Remove Comments & Stop Spam [Multi-Site Support]

I've used this plugin on several sites for years, and this week was the first time it's ever caused a problem. The developer had a fix ready within 24 hours. I'll continue to use this plugin in confidence. Thanks for such a dependable plugin!

just works

One very weird thing about WordPress is how pervasive comments are, for example a robot can comment on an image in the media library. That comment is never seen on the website but has to be moderated by the site owner.

This plugin solves that issue and of course is great for turning of comments on posts and pages for sites that don't want comments. Again wordpress is a bit weird because while you can turn off comments on new posts, older posts are harder deal with - all solved by this excellent plugin.

Fills a big need

If you need to control WordPress comments, Disable Comments is your best choice.

And it is fully localized to zh_TW.

Awesome and useful plugin

Allows administrators to globally disable comments on their site. Comments can be disabled according to post type. Multisite friendly.
