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. 💙 LOVED DISABLE COMMENTS?

Source Code The plugin build compiles assets/js/disable-comments.js from src/disable-comments.js with Babel and assets/css/style.css from assets/scss/style.scss with Sass, using Grunt. These sources are not included in the plugin zip. Other first-party JavaScript and CSS files in assets/ are maintained directly. Both the sources and the build configuration live in the GitHub development repository. To build them yourself: npm install npm run build Bundled third-party assets The Select2, pagination.js, and SweetAlert2 JavaScript/CSS distributions are bundled separately from the Grunt build. Their full license notices are in assets/licenses/. The DM Sans webfont notice and SIL Open Font License 1.1 are in assets/fonts/OFL.txt. The plugin license is in LICENSE.txt. Select2 4.1.0-rc.0: source and build files, MIT license. pagination.js, bundled header 2.1.5: upstream source, MIT license. The CSS matches upstream 2.1.5; the modified JavaScript is shipped in readable form at assets/js/pagination.min.js and is not rebuilt by Grunt. SweetAlert2 10.10.1: source and build files, MIT license. DM Sans latin webfonts, distribution v11: upstream source, SIL Open Font License 1.1. External services Disable Comments connects to one external service, and only if you opt in. WPInsight usage analytics (opt-in, off by default) WPInsight is WPDeveloper’s usage-analytics service. We use it to learn which WordPress versions, PHP versions, plugins and themes people run alongside Disable Comments, so we can keep the plugin compatible with them. When data is sent: only after an administrator clicks “Sure, I’d like to help” in the opt-in notice. It is sent once at that moment, then about once a day by WP-Cron (only the details that changed since the last report), and once more when the plugin is deactivated. If you click “No Thanks.” or ignore the notice, nothing is ever sent. What is sent: your site URL and site name, WordPress version, site language and charset, PHP version, server software, whether the site is a multisite, text direction, the server path of the plugin, the lists of active and inactive plugins, the active theme and its version, the Disable Comments version, and the account email address of the administrator who clicks the opt-in button (used to send the discount coupon). A daily report can also include the current logged-in user account email; a background report without a logged-in user omits email. Reports also include the plugin name and identifier, tracker version, activation status and marketing flag, service-assigned site identifier, and original site URL when available. On deactivation it sends the same details again, plus the account email address of the administrator who deactivates the plugin, the deactivation time, and the reason and any note they enter in the deactivation form. Like any web request, the connection also reveals your server’s IP address to the service. Where it is sent: https://send.wpinsight.com/process-plugin-data Terms and privacy: Terms and Conditions, Privacy Policy The “Still Seeing a Comment Form?” check on the plugin’s settings page also requests pages of your own site to check what your theme outputs. Those requests go to your own site only and send nothing to a third party.
