Important note: Use this plugin if you don't want comments at all on your site (or on certain post types). Don't use it if you want to selectively disable comments on individual posts - WordPress lets you do that anyway. If you don't know how to disable comments on individual posts, there are instructions in the FAQ. If you come across any bugs or have suggestions, please use the plugin support forum. I can't fix it if I don't know it's broken! Please check the FAQ for common issues. Want to contribute? Here's the GitHub development repository. A must-use version of the plugin is also available. Advanced Configuration Some of the plugin’s behavior can be modified by site administrators and plugin/theme developers through code:

• Define DISABLE_COMMENTS_REMOVE_COMMENTS_TEMPLATE and set it to false to prevent the plugin from replacing the theme's comment template with an empty one.
• Define DISABLE_COMMENTS_ALLOW_DISCUSSION_SETTINGS and set it to true to prevent the plugin from hiding the Discussion settings page.

These definitions can be made either in your main wp-config.php or in your theme's functions.php file. THIS PLUGIN IS NOW MAINTAINED BY THE TEAM WPDeveloper. 💙 LOVED DISABLE COMMENTS?
