The Disable Comments RB Plugin is a valuable tool for administrators seeking to completely disable comments on their website. Our plugin offers global disabling functionality, effectively removing all comment-related features and options across posts, pages, and attachments. With a focus on simplicity and power, our plugin streamlines the process of managing comments by employing a smart algorithm.
By installing and enabling our plugin, administrators can seamlessly eliminate comment-related elements from the Dashboard, Widgets, and Admin menu. This ensures a clutter-free interface and a smoother user experience for both administrators and visitors alike.
However, if you have specific sections of your website where comments are desired, our plugin offers the flexibility to selectively disable comments. Rather than globally disabling commenting, administrators can choose to deactivate this functionality only in the necessary areas of their WordPress site.
For those unsure of how to disable comments on individual posts or pages, our support team is readily available to provide assistance. Additionally, our FAQ section offers comprehensive guidance on navigating the plugin’s features and settings.
Whether you seek to globally disable comments or selectively manage commenting functionality, the Disable Comments RB Plugin offers a versatile solution tailored to meet your website’s needs.

Disable Comments

I originally used the "Disable Comments" plugin. However, when it started spamming the WordPress dashboard with its notifications requesting to track data, I switched to "Disable Comments RB", which was a huge improvement.

A little while back, "Disable Comments RB" added advertisements to their settings page. I continued to use it because most of my clients will never see that page, and I never visit it after setting up the plugin. However, now this plugin places a brightly colored icon in the main WordPress menu.

Why does a plugin with a total of one option (and an option you will likely never change) need a top-level menu item? And why brightly colored, so it stands out like a sore thumb?

...unless it is there to get people to click on it so they can see the ads on the settings page.

Sadly moving on

Latest update (v1.0.14) introduces advertisments.

Moved from the Disable Comments plugin to this, to get rid of the ads.

I will be switching to a non-adware plugin again.

EDIT:
Updated from 2 stars to 1, since last update introduced yet another unwanted item, this time a root-level menu item.

Kind Regards

Update introduced ads


All it does is hook into the admin to hide comments control, and stop pages from displaying comments....basically another layer of code that has to be loaded and run for every single requests.

Disable comments plugin is a useful tool for blog or site administrators that allows fully disabling or hiding comments for any post types, pages or attachments.
It removes the all comments related features and options:
<ul>
<li>disable comments on frontend at all;</li>
<li>remove comments option from WordPress dashboard menu;</li>
<li>hide comments option from the admin bar;</li>
<li>Turn off comments widgets.</li>
</ul>
In addition, this plugin can disable XML-RPC related functions in WordPress including disable pingbacks and disable trackbacks, and helps to prevent the attacks on the xmlrpc.php file. Lastly, it attempts to generate a “403 Denied” error for requests to the /xmlrpc.php URL, but does not affect that file or your server in any way.
If you want completely remove comments, you can do this individually for selected post types. You can easily bulk delete all WordPress comments in some clicks. No any other “Delete All Comments” plugins or phpMyAdmin needed.
You can disable comments but if you decide to leave them, you need to close comments external links from the search engines. By default when users places comments, the WordPress adds rel=”nofollow” attribute to the comment author URL and for all links in the comments text. However, already for a long time, search engines ignores this and follows links. It makes dozens of superfluous external links from comments that are do not bring anything good for your SEO. Disable Comments plugin makes all external links in WordPress comments invisible for search engines with Javascript and improves your blog or website SEO.
In addition, if you do not want to disable comments you may need to remove website field from the WordPress comment form. Note: you can remove comment author URL but this feature can be not work with some themes.
Generally, the Disable Comments plugin uses the intelligent algorithm to hide comments and remove comments. You just need to turn some toggles on.
