Disable comments via XML-RPC & REST-API

Fully Multi-site Network supported.

Exclude Disable Comments Settings based on user roles.

Keep the WordPress 6.9+ Block Editor “Notes” comment type working while every other comment stays off.

[New in 2.8.0] AI-agent ready: supports the WordPress Abilities API (WP 6.9+), so AI assistants and MCP clients can read your comment settings.

DISABLE COMMENTS ON DOCS

DELETE CERTAIN COMMENT TYPE(S)

Permanently delete certain comment types from your WordPress website including WooCommerce product reviews as well as generic comments.

DISABLE COMMENTS VIA XML-RPC And REST API

Block any comments made on your WordPress website via XML-RPC specification and REST API.

Important note: Use this plugin if you don’t want comments at all on your site (or on certain post types). Don’t use it if you want to selectively disable comments on individual posts – WordPress lets you do that anyway. If you don’t know how to disable comments on individual posts, there are instructions in the FAQ.

If you come across any bugs or have suggestions, please use the plugin support forum. I can’t fix it if I don’t know it’s broken! Please check the FAQ for common issues.

Want to contribute? Here’s the GitHub development repository.

A must-use version of the plugin is also available.

Advanced Configuration Some of the plugin’s behavior can be modified by site administrators and plugin/theme developers through code:

Define DISABLE_COMMENTS_REMOVE_COMMENTS_TEMPLATE and set it to false to prevent the plugin from replacing the theme’s comment template with an empty one.

Define DISABLE_COMMENTS_ALLOW_DISCUSSION_SETTINGS and set it to true to prevent the plugin from hiding the Discussion settings page.

These definitions can be made either in your main wp-config.php or in your theme’s functions.php file.

THIS PLUGIN IS NOW MAINTAINED BY THE TEAM WPDeveloper.
