Server compatibility: WordPress 3.3 – 6.5 PHP 5.6 – 8.2 Doesn’t use jQuery Plugin is incompatible with: Disqus Jetpack Comments AJAX Comment Form bbPress If site has caching plugin enabled and cache is not cleared or if theme does not use ‘comment_form’ action and there is no plugin inputs in comments form – plugin tries to add hidden fields automatically using JavaScript. How does it work? The blocking algorithm is based on 2 methods: ‘invisible js-captcha’ and ‘invisible input trap’ (aka honeypot technique). ‘invisible js-captcha’ The ‘invisible js-captcha’ method is based on fact that bots does not have JavaScript on their user-agents. Extra hidden field is added to comments form. It is the question about the current year. If the user visits site, than this field is answered automatically with JavaScript, is hidden by JavaScript and CSS and invisible for the user. If the spammer will fill year-field incorrectly – the comment will be blocked because it is spam. ‘invisible input trap’ The ‘invisible input trap’ method is based on fact that almost all the bots will fill inputs with name ’email’ or ‘url’. Extra hidden field is added to comments form. This field is hidden for the user and user will not fill it. But this field is visible for the spammer. If the spammer will fill this trap-field with anything – the comment will be blocked because it is spam.

The Disable Comments RB Plugin is a valuable tool for administrators seeking to completely disable comments on their website. Our plugin offers global disabling functionality, effectively removing all comment-related features and options across posts, pages, and attachments. With a focus on simplicity and power, our plugin streamlines the process of managing comments by employing a smart algorithm. By installing and enabling our plugin, administrators can seamlessly eliminate comment-related elements from the Dashboard, Widgets, and Admin menu. This ensures a clutter-free interface and a smoother user experience for both administrators and visitors alike.
