Disable Comments RB gives you real control over comments instead of a single on/off switch: choose exactly which content types are affected, what happens to comments already on the site, and clean up what’s left — all from one settings screen, with a dedicated PRO add-on for stores and agencies that need more.

📖 Plugin Overview | 📚 Documentation | 💎 Pricing & PRO

🚫 Flexible disabling
Turn comments off everywhere, for selected content types only, or not at all. Block new comments and control the visibility of existing ones independently — hide them all, or leave them showing.

🗑️ Bulk delete, safely
Remove or trash comments by content type and status, with a Count step before anything is deleted so you always know the number before you commit.

📊 Dashboard & Comments-page shortcuts
A WordPress Dashboard widget shows your comment stats at a glance. Optional one-click shortcuts on the native Comments page and in the admin toolbar jump straight into settings.

🛡️ Spam-channel blocking
Closes the classic XML-RPC endpoint and the REST API’s comment-creation endpoint that some spam bots use to bypass the normal comment form.

⚙️ Built for real admin workflows
Choose whether the settings screen lives under Settings or gets its own top-level menu item. Everything reports into Site Health Info for easy support requests.

💎 PRO add-on

Install the separate Disable Comments RB — PRO Key plugin to unlock:

🤖 AI Assistant — automatically reply to new comments that mention specific keywords, with ready-made presets (Sales, Support, Availability, Complaints). On WooCommerce, rules can also trigger by star rating alone — perfect for catching negative reviews.

🛒 WooCommerce review management — filter Delete by product review vs. regular comment, and see reviews broken out separately in Statistics.

📅 Hide by date — show only comments between two dates, before a date, or after a date, instead of all-or-nothing.

👥 Role-based exceptions — let editors or admins keep commenting (for internal notes) on content types where the public can’t.

🌐 Multisite enforcement — lock the Disable settings network-wide from Network Admin.

📤 Export / Import — move your full configuration between sites as a JSON file.

💻 WP-CLI — wp disable-comments-rb status | set | stats | delete, scriptable and automatable.

📈 Full Statistics tab — live counts by status and content type, plus a running “permanently deleted” total.

No license key to enter, no account, nothing to phone home — having the PRO Key plugin installed and active is the unlock.

Before enabling Disable Comments RB, it’s a good idea to review any existing comments first — depending on your theme, already-published comments may still render in unexpected ways once comments are turned off for that content type.
