  • Clean and safe implementation using WordPress hooks and filters.
  • No impact on performance.

Installation

  1. Upload the plugin files to the /wp-content/plugins/commentоff directory, or install the plugin through the WordPress plugins screen directly.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this plugin delete existing comments?

No — It only hides them from. Comments are still stored in the database.

Will this plugin work with any theme?

Yes. It works with all standard WordPress themes. If your theme uses custom comment output, visual hiding is applied via CSS.

Can I keep the form but hide existing comments?

Yes — simply uncheck “Hide comment form” and keep “Hide existing comments” enabled.

Does this affect my site’s performance?

No — the plugin is very lightweight and only adds the necessary hooks to disable comment functionality.
