Overview
From the admin listing of posts (‘Edit Posts’) and pages (‘Edit Pages’), a user can close or open comments to any posts to which they have sufficient privileges to make such changes (essentially admins and post authors for their own posts). This is done via an AJAX-powered color-coded indicator. The color-coding gives instant feedback on the current status of the post for comments: green means the post/page is open to comments, red means the post/page is closed to comments. Being AJAX-powered means that the change is submitted in the background after being clicked without requiring a page reload.
This plugin will only function for administrative users in the admin who have JavaScript enabled.

Perfect

Merci pour ce plugin simple et efficace
Nice work!

As simple as this plugin is it solves a BIG problem for me! I needed something that would close and open comments on posts based on the author role but doing it manually works just fine. Thanks!
Excellent Plugin

Excellent plugin. Used it for many years without a problem. It is a pity that it is not updated anymore.
Easy and fast!

However the dot is green even though the comments were automatically closed. Why? Error or feature? 🙂
Perfect, thank you!
