Do Not Allow Comments Everywhere
Description
When activated, this plugin:
1. Closes comments and pings on all existing public content (posts, pages, and custom post types).
2. Sets WordPress defaults to disallow new comments and pings on all future content.
3. Ensures that newly created or updated posts remain closed to comments.
4. Hides the default Comments menu in the admin sidebar when enabled.
5. Provides a simple Settings page with a single Activate / Deactivate button to toggle behavior.
When deactivated, the plugin restores the default WordPress discussion settings without reopening previously closed comments.

Reviews
Works exactly as promised!

Simple and straight to the point. I installed the plugin to disable comments on pages and posts for a corporate site, and it worked perfectly, even turned off the default “Allow comments” setting. Excellent tool to keep the admin area clean and spam-free.
