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).
