Faq

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.

Install and you are done, thats it.

What we all want. Just install it. Done.

The code is open source, which is great. The plugin is small and extremely fast and unobtrusive. No UI (well on multisite there is a simple UI). What my customers want.

Does exactly what I need, no more, no less

While some sites need more granular comment disabling/enabling functionality (e.g., by post type), for the vast majority of my clients' sites I just want them disabled site-wide. This plugin does so simply and unobtrusively. Thank you!

A simple, focused plugin, does it's job wonderfully
