A WordPress plugin that helps to manage comments by deleting spam comments, removing all comments with backup, or disabling comments site-wide.

== Description ==

Delete & Disable Comments is a powerful tool for WordPress administrators to efficiently manage their site's comments. With this plugin, you can:

* Delete all spam comments with one click
* Delete all comments (with option to create a backup first)
* Disable comments site-wide
* Download a backup of your comments before deletion

The plugin is designed to be simple to use while providing robust functionality for comment management.

== Installation ==

1. Upload the plugin files to the `/wp-content/plugins/delete-disable-comments` directory, or install the plugin through the WordPress plugins screen directly
2. Activate the plugin through the 'Plugins' screen in WordPress
3. Use the Settings->Delete & Disable Comments screen to configure the plugin

== Frequently Asked Questions ==

= Can I recover deleted comments? =

Yes, if you create a backup before deletion. The plugin offers a backup option before performing any deletion operation.

= Will disabling comments affect existing comments? =

No, disabling comments only prevents new comments from being added. Existing comments remain visible unless you explicitly delete them.
