The DMN (Hush) plugin provides an easy way to disable comments on all post types in WordPress, including posts, pages, and custom post types. This is useful if you do not want to allow comments on your site, or if you want to disable comments for a specific period of time.
The plugin also removes all options related to comments from the WordPress dashboard, including the ability to enable comments on individual posts or pages. This helps to simplify the dashboard and prevent any confusion for users who may not be familiar with WordPress.
The DMN (Hush) plugin can be easily activated and deactivated from the WordPress dashboard, and requires no additional configuration or setup.
