About the plugin - top

How to manage user commenting on your website? WordPress has a builtin comments system that works pretty well. However in some cases, especially if you use WordPress as a CMS, not a blogging platform, you may find it dispensable. For some of us turning off comments in Discussion settings is enough, but what if you want to disable access to the comments menu in admin, remove comments from admin bar and post types columns or hide existing comments at the front-end of your site? It's not that easy, but this plugin will surelly help.

The plugin helps you handle with ease the 'WordPress's built in comment system management related problems', besides having a whole bunch of features to help you in your work. These features include:

Option to disable new comment posting, hide existing comments, disable pingbacks or trackbacks
These 4 options are manageable on:
Post types, post categories, post authors, post tags
Login status, user is admin or not, user name, referral URL
Webpage URL, browser version, device type, web bot detection, IP Address
Operating System, User's country, users language
Controls for specific posts + controls to delete all comments for specific post or for specific post type
Remove all comments related links and feeds from your website
And many, many other features...
Not enought features for you? This plugin is also fully mobile compatible, is translations ready, is optimized for speed - has no speed impact and benefits of lifetime updates and support.
