On a **multisite network**, activate from **Network Admin > Plugins** to enable it across all sites at once, or activate it per-site as needed. ### Composer [](#composer) ``` composer require marshallu/mu-disable-comments ``` Composer will install the plugin to `wp-content/plugins/mu-disable-comments/`. --- How It Works ------------ [](#how-it-works) ### Front End [](#front-end) Comment and ping status is overridden at the filter level, regardless of what is saved on individual posts or in WordPress settings. This means no database updates are required — existing post data is left untouched. FilterBehavior`comments_open`Always returns `false``pings_open`Always returns `false``comments_array`Always returns an empty arrayReturning an empty array from `comments_array` ensures that themes and templates which iterate over comments render nothing, even if comments exist in the database. Comment feed URLs (e.g. `/?feed=comments-rss2`, `/?p=1&feed=rss2`) are redirected to the home page via `template_redirect`. ### REST API [](#rest-api) The `/wp/v2/comments` collection and single-item endpoints are removed from the registered endpoint list before the API responds. ### XML-RPC [](#xml-rpc) The `pingback.ping` and `pingback.extensions.getPingbacks` methods are unregistered from the XML-RPC server. ### Admin [](#admin) AreaActionComments menuRemoved via `remove_menu_page()``edit-comments.php`Redirected to the dashboard`comment.php`Redirected to the dashboard`options-discussion.php`Redirected to the dashboardRecent Comments widgetRemoved from the dashboard`commentsdiv` meta boxRemoved from all post editors`commentstatusdiv` meta boxRemoved from all post editorsComments columnRemoved from all post list tablesAdmin bar Comments nodeRemovedPost type support`comments` and `trackbacks` removed from all registered post types--- Development ----------- [](#development) ``` # Install dev dependencies composer install # Check coding standards ./vendor/bin/phpcs --standard=WordPress . # Auto-fix coding standards violations ./vendor/bin/phpcbf --standard=WordPress . # Run static analysis ./vendor/bin/phpstan analyse ``` All code follows [WordPress Coding Standards](https://github.com/WordPress/WordPress-Coding-Standards). Functions, hooks, and globals are prefixed `mu_disable_comments_`. --- File Structure -------------- [](#file-structure) ``` mu-disable-comments/ ├── disable-comments.php # Plugin entry point ├── includes/ │ ├── class-mu-disable-comments.php # Core singleton, bootstraps all classes │ ├── class-mu-disable-comments-admin.php # Admin/dashboard suppression │ └── class-mu-disable-comments-public.php # Front-end, feeds, REST API, XML-RPC └── composer.json ``` ### Health Score 40 — FairBetter than 88% of packages Maintenance89 Actively maintained with recent releases Popularity4 Limited adoption so far Community6 Small or concentrated contributor base Maturity52 Maturing project, gaining track record Bus Factor1 Top contributor holds 100% of commits — single point of failure How is this calculated?**Maintenance (25%)** — Last commit recency, latest release date, and issue-to-star ratio.
