Turn comments off everywhere in one click: posts, pages, admin menu, admin bar and dashboard. WooCommerce product reviews can keep working.

What it does 01
Switches comments off across your whole site the moment you activate it. Visitors no longer see comment forms or old comments, and the Comments screens, menu items and dashboard boxes disappear from your admin. Nothing is deleted, so deactivating the plugin brings everything back exactly as it was.
- Everywhere: closes comments and pingbacks on every post, page and custom post type, old and new.
- Existing comments: hides them on your site without deleting a single one.
- Admin menu: removes "Comments" from the admin menu and the comment bubble from the admin bar.
- Dashboard: removes comment counts and the "Recent Comments" box.
- Blocks and widgets: comment blocks and widgets print nothing, so there are no empty boxes in your theme.
- Less spam: turns off the comment feeds and the comment endpoints in the REST API and XML-RPC, which cuts out comment spam.
- Lists: removes the comments column from the Posts and Pages lists.
- WooCommerce reviews: optionally keep product reviews working (on by default).
- Moderation: with reviews kept, the Comments screen stays so you can still moderate them.
- Simple setup: one small settings page under Settings › Disable Comments. No setup needed.
- Reversible: deactivate it and everything comes back exactly as it was.
Setup 02 · about 1 minute
- Install & Activate it. In WordPress go to Plugins → Add New → Upload Plugin, choose the .zip and click Install Now, then Activate. Comments are off right away.
- Check your store reviews. If you run WooCommerce, go to Settings › Disable Comments and choose whether product reviews stay on.
- Save. Click Save Changes. That's it.
FAQ 03
Does it delete my existing comments?
No. They're only hidden. Deactivate the plugin and they're back, exactly as they were.
Can I keep product reviews on my WooCommerce store?
Yes. "Keep WooCommerce product reviews" is on by default, so reviews keep working while comments are off everywhere else.
Does it work with page caching?
Yes. After activating, clear your cache once so cached pages lose their comment forms.
Does it work with any theme?
Yes. It closes comments at the WordPress level, so any theme that uses the standard comment functions stops showing them.
Is it really free?
Yes. Free forever, no sign-up, no ads, and it doesn't track you.
What happens to my data when I delete the plugin?
Your comments are never touched. Deleting the plugin keeps your settings too, because Arock Toolkit and other versions of this plugin share them.
