Comment and Pingback Blocker by Himel

by Himel Ahmed

Description

This plugin is built for users who don’t need comments on their website and want a clean, distraction-free experience.

Once activated, it disables all comment-related features across the entire site — including posts, pages, custom post types, admin panel, and API endpoints.

It also disables pingbacks and trackbacks to prevent spam and unnecessary database usage.

No configuration needed. Just activate and you’re done.
