== Description ==

Deactivate comments functions and remove areas absolutely from the WordPress including the admin section.

This plugin allows administrators to globally disable comments on any post type (posts, pages, attachments, etc.) so that these settings cannot be overridden for individual posts. It also removes all comment-related fields from edit and quick-edit screens. On multisite installations, it can be used to disable comments on the entire network.

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 or contact me at http://blogbysid.wordpress.com/contact/. I can't fix it if I don't know it's broken! Please check the FAQ for common issues.

Bugfix: Make sure pingbacks are also prevented when comments are disabled.

== Frequently Asked Questions ==

1. Will this affect my WordPress Instalation?
No. This won't play with the core! In other words, the feature still exists there but it is hidden by the plugin.

2. Why aren't comments and trackbacks being disabled?
There are two possible issues for this. The first is that you are using a version of WordPress earlier than 3.4 and have javascript disabled as it relies on jQuery. WordPress version of 3.4 and later do not require javascript.

The second possible issue is that you are duplicating a post or page. This plugin only works when you are on a new post/page screen, while plugins that duplicate posts, duplicate the post first and then take you to an edit screen. Unfortunately, there is no way to get around this issue, so if you plan on using a duplication plugin, then you will just have to remember to disable your comments.

3. Why is "Comments are closed" or some other text displayed after I disable my comments?
Many themes will include text to show that comments are not enabled on a post. To remove it, you would need to talk to your theme author.
