WP Disable Comments sitewide

Features

• Disable Comments Sitewide is a lightweight and secure WordPress plugin built to shut down commenting across your entire site. It hides comment forms, removes related admin pages, and blocks API-based comment submissions—perfect for publishers who want a read-only experience without moderation headaches. The project is open source and welcomes community contributions.

  
  

  Key Features

  
  

  • Global blocking: Removes comment and trackback support from every post type and forces all comment forms closed.
  • Admin cleanup: Strips comment menus, notifications, and the “Recent Comments” dashboard widget from the WordPress back office.
  • Safe redirects: Redirects or terminates access to comment management pages (e.g., edit-comments.php, wp-comments-post.php) to prevent manual submissions.
  • REST & XML-RPC defense: Disables the wp/v2/comments REST endpoint and XML-RPC comment methods to stop external integrations from posting.
  • Feed control: Turns off comment RSS/Atom feeds and redirects automated requests back to the homepage.
  • Theme compatibility: Generates an empty comments.php template on activation so themes won’t render outdated comment sections.
  • Easy setup: Activate and you’re done—no configuration needed.
  • Open source: GPL-friendly codebase ready for GitHub publication, forking, and collaborative improvements.
