<p>For those who do not need to have the Comments feature in WordPress (there are a lot of reasons), this plugin removes any trace of that existence in both wp-admin and front-end.<br />
Your theme must rely properly on the WordPress API for the front-end support. The tag  must be present.<br />
Completely done through techniques based on both action hooks and CSS.</p>
<p>Doesn’t requires any configuration, just install and any trace of Comments will disappear.</p>
<p>NOTE: This does NOT play with the core, so you are able to update both plugins and WordPress without any trouble.</p>
<h4>Provided Custom Hooks</h4>
<p>This plugin provides 4 custom hooks you may play if you need more substance in your theme.</p>
<pre><code>add_action( 'hide_comments_post_types', 'my_hide_comments_post_types' ); to change the list of post types to be processed by the plugin. Comments will be removed from all listed post types.
add_action( 'hide_comments_css', 'my_hide_comments_css' ); to add arbitrary CSS to hide comment's stuff from your theme.
add_action( 'hide_comments_template_comments_path', 'my_hide_comments_template_comments_path' ); the default path is the empty file template-comments.php located in the same dir of this plugin. Just modify the path to your own file if you want to return anything else.
add_action( 'hide_comments_dashboard_right_now', 'my_hide_comments_dashboard_right_now' ); if true is returned, the discussion table of dashboard right now widget will be hidden. False otherwise. Defaults to true.
</code></pre>
<p>The use of these hooks are recommended, thus, if the plugin gets deactivated, those hooks will not be called anymore and then you get things consistent and clean.</p>

<p>Disable Customizer lets you completely disable Customizer on your WordPress site. This is useful in cases where you develop custom sites or themes that don’t use Customizer. Removing the extra “Customize” button that doesn’t actually do anything useful simplifies the WordPress admin user experience.</p>
<p>The code is based on <a href="https://github.com/parallelus/customizer-remove-all-parts" rel="nofollow ugc">Customizer Remove All Parts</a> by Jesse Petersen and Andy Wilkerson.</p>
<h3>Improvements compared to the original plugin</h3>
<ul>
<li>I’ve added automated tests that ensure plugin works in new versions of WordPress and PHP.</li>
<li>With the help of the automated tests, I’ve tested that the plugin works in WordPress 5.0 and later. The original plugin was only tested up to WordPress 4.4.</li>
<li>The automated tests also ensure that the plugin works in PHP 7 and 8. The original plugin was only tested with PHP 5.</li>
<li>Customizer Remove All Parts was removed from the plugin directory due to being “unused”, presumably since it hasn’t been updated in 5 years. Disable Customizer is available in the plugin directory so it can be easily installed and kept up to date</li>
</ul>
<p>In the process, I’ve dropped support for old versions of WordPress and PHP. I would have liked the continue supporting these but supporting a very wide range of WordPress and PHP versions becomes increasingly difficult. The upside is that since the tests are automated, I can be very certain that the versions claim to be supported are actually so. According to <a href="https://wordpress.org/about/stats/" rel="ugc">wordpress.org statistics</a> WordPress 5.0 and PHP 7 should cover around 90% of WordPress users.</p>
<h3>Support the plugin</h3>
<p>Maintaining a WordPress plugin is a lot of work. If you like the plugin, please consider rating it on <a href="https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/customizer-disabler/reviews/#new-post" rel="ugc">WordPress.org</a>. Thank you!</p>
