Frequently Asked Questions

Where is the settings page?

This plugin doesn’t have a settings page. It’s just a simple plugin to disable comments. However, on multisite it registers an option under general settings when it is activated network-wide. This way, site admins can enable/disable comments on a per-site basis.

Is it compatible with multisite?

Yes! It’s compatible with both single sites and multisite.
