Disable Comments – Remove Comments & Stop Spam [Multi-Site Support]

FAQ

すべての投稿のコメントを無効化したのですが、何も起こりません。投稿を表示すると、まだコメント欄が表示されています。

これは、使用しているテーマが投稿のコメントのステータスを正しく認識していないために起こります。

何が誤っていて、どう修正すればよいかを説明したこちらの解説を、テーマの作者に伝えてみてください。

コメントを無効化した投稿の下部に表示される「コメントは受け付けていません。」というテキストを削除するには、どうしたら良いでしょうか。

このプラグインは、この (そしてその他のコメントに関連する) メッセージを非表示にするためにベストを尽くします。

If you still see the message, then it means your theme is overriding this behaviour, and you will have to edit its files manually to remove it. Two common approaches are to either delete or comment out the relevant lines in wp-content/your-theme/comments.php, or to add a declaration to wp-content/your-theme/style.css that hides the message from your visitors. In either case, make sure you know what you are doing!

全体ではなく、特定の投稿についてのみコメントの無効化を行いたいです。どうしたら良いでしょうか。

コメントを無効化したい投稿の編集ページに行きます。下にスクロールすると「ディスカッション」ボックスがありますが、そこでその投稿のコメントの設定ができます。「ディスカッション」ボックスがない場合は、画面上部の「画面設定」をクリックし、「ディスカッション」のチェックボックスにチェックを入れてください。

投稿画面 から、複数の投稿のコメントステータスの一括編集ができます。

データベースからコメントを削除したいです。どうすれば良いでしょうか。

Go to the tools page for the Disable Comments plugin and use the Delete Comments tool to delete all comments or according to the specified post types from your database.

This cannot be undone. Back up your database before running it.

How do I disable comments across an entire multisite network?

Network-activate the plugin. The settings then live under your Network Admin, where you can either apply one configuration to every site at once or configure individual subsites from the network screen. If you activate the plugin on a single site instead, it only ever affects that site.

How do I disable WooCommerce product reviews?

WooCommerce product reviews are stored as comments on the product post type, so disabling comments on product turns reviews off too. To remove reviews that already exist, use the Delete Comments tool and select the product post type.

Can I configure the plugin from WP-CLI?

Yes. Settings and deletion are both scriptable, which is useful across a fleet of sites:

wp disable-comments settings --types=post
wp disable-comments settings --types=page --add
wp disable-comments settings --xmlrpc --rest-api
wp disable-comments delete --types=all

Run wp help disable-comments settings for the full list of options. Full WP-CLI documentation.

WordPress 6.9 added “Notes” in the Block Editor. Will this plugin break them?

No, as long as you allow them. Notes are technically a comment type (note), so a blanket disable would switch them off along with everything else. Use the Enable Certain Comment Types setting to keep Notes working while all other comments stay disabled.

I disabled comments but a cached page still shows the comment form.

As of version 2.8.0 the plugin clears page caches automatically whenever you save settings or delete comments, so this should resolve itself. If your host or CDN is not covered, it can hook disable_comments_purge_caches to clear its own cache at the same moment.

Note that the plugin never touches your object cache — only page caches. The stale thing is rendered HTML.

Can AI assistants read my comment settings?

Yes, on WordPress 6.9 and above. The plugin registers a read-only disable-comments/get-status ability through the WordPress Abilities API, so AI assistants, the command palette and MCP clients can ask the site where comments are disabled. It is read-only and requires the manage_options capability — nothing can change your settings through it.

What happens if I deactivate the plugin?

Comments go back to whatever WordPress and your theme did before. The plugin filters comment status at runtime rather than rewriting your posts, so your original per-post settings are still intact underneath.

The one exception is the Delete Comments tool: comments it removed are permanently gone and deactivating will not bring them back.
