# JPKCom Disable Comments — Guide & Tips

> Disable WordPress comments site-wide with JPKCom Disable Comments — installation, requirements and practical tips.

JPKCom Disable Comments disables the WordPress core comments functionality for the entire site. Useful when you simply don't need comments on a corporate or documentation site.

## Guide

### Requirements

- WordPress **6.9** or newer (tested up to WordPress 7.0)
- PHP **8.3** or newer

### Installation

1. In your admin panel, go to **Plugins → Add New** and click **Upload Plugin**.
2. Choose the plugin's ZIP file and click **Install Now**.
3. Click **Activate**.

### How it works

There is **no settings page** — once active, the plugin disables the core comments functionality globally. This includes removing the REST API endpoint for comments (since version 1.0.1).

## Tips & Tricks

- **Global instead of per post:** The plugin works site-wide — you no longer have to disable comments manually on each individual post or page.
- **REST API covered:** The comments REST API endpoint is removed, so comments are no longer reachable via the API either.
- **Reproducible updates:** Since version 1.0.2 the plugin uses secure self-hosted updates via GitHub with SHA256 checksums and runs with `declare(strict_types=1)`.
