Does exactly what it says. Helps disable comments easily without extra setup. Works fine on most parts. But a few settings could be more flexible. Overall good. tnx 👍
Installed this to quickly turn off comments across my site. Setup took like a minute and everything worked as expected. Simple settings, no confusion. Could use a few more options maybe, but overall pretty solid.
I had a daunting task of first moving 500+ the Pending Comments that I have identified as all SPAM to the Trash folder, page by fricken page, then having to go into the Trash folder to permentantly delete them, page by painstaking page.
Then I said there must be a plugin for this. Lo & Behold there was. It was yours.
Task finished in less than 3 minute and that included installing and activating the plugin and figuring out which choice I had within the plugin that would accomplish the task. BAM! IT WAS DONE.
Bravo!!
For me it’s more of a one-use-thing, hopefully I’ll avoid homepages with a gazillion spam comments going forward. Very clear and easy to understand plugin. Great choices for what and where to turn off or remove comments. I’ll recommend this plugin to anyone working with wordpress. Also, developer seem to listen to critique as I was reading the previous reviews.
Was using this plugin on pretty much every client’s website
All of the sudden it started adding ads for another plugin in the admin, as well as the page editor !!
I’m removing it everywhere. This is not ok.
EDIT:
Thank you for sparing me hours of works. 🙂
