One Click Close Comments
A screenshot of the 'Posts' admin page with the plugin activated. The tooltip (from hovering over a green indicator) reads: "Comments are open. Click to close." Were the mouse to hover over a red indicator, the tooltip would read: "Comments are closed. Click to open."
From the admin listing of posts (‘Edit Posts’) and pages (‘Edit Pages’), a user can close or open comments to any posts to which they have sufficient privileges to make such changes (essentially admins and post authors for their own posts). This is done via an AJAX-powered color-coded indicator. The color-coding gives instant feedback on the current status of the post for comments: green means the post/page is open to comments, red means the post/page is closed to comments. Being AJAX-powered means that the change is submitted in the background after being clicked without requiring a page reload.
This plugin will only function for administrative users in the admin who have JavaScript enabled.
