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 across your entire site or only for selected post types. This removes comment forms from the front end, hides comment-related menus and widgets in the dashboard, and disables pingbacks and trackbacks.
Delete comments in bulk with a simple cleanup tool. You can remove all comments at once or filter them by post type or comment status.
Manage links in comments by disabling the website field from the comment form for cleaner, safer comment submissions. Replace external links in comments with safe span tags so they no longer act as real, followable links.
<h3>Key Features</h3>
Disable comments 
– Disable comments globally or by post type 
– Hide all comment-related admin menus, dashboard widgets and settings 
– Disable pingbacks and trackbacks 
– Disable comments in RSS/Atom feeds
Delete comments 
– Delete all comments in WordPress at once 
– Delete comments by post type 
– Delete comments by comment status (spam, unapproved, trash)
Manage links in comments 
– Replace all external comment links with span tags via JavaScript, removing their SEO impact while keeping the text visible to users. 
– Remove the website/URL field from the comment form
All features can be enabled or disabled safely, and comment disabling does not remove existing comments unless you choose to delete them.
<h3>Why use this plugin?</h3>
WordPress still loads comment features even when you don’t use them, which can clutter your dashboard, expose unused functionality, and create unnecessary moderation work. This plugin gives you complete control over WordPress comments, whether you want to disable comments globally, bulk delete comments, or just manage them more efficiently.
<h3>Advanced Configuration</h3>
To prevent the plugin from replacing your theme’s comment template, define the following constant:
<pre><code>define('DISABLE_COMMENTS_REMOVE_COMMENTS_TEMPLATE', false);
</code></pre>
You can add this definition either to your <code>wp-config.php</code> file or to your theme’s <code>functions.php</code> file.
