This is a Must-Use (MU) plugin for WordPress that completely disables comments across your whole site. It removes all comment features from the frontend and backend, including:
- No comment boxes on posts or pages
- No "Comments" menu in the admin dashboard
- No "Discussion" settings in admin
- Removes support for comments and trackbacks from all post types
- Hides comment-related HTML like
<div class="comments-area"> - Blocks comment and ping functions using filters
MU stands for Must-Use. MU plugins are loaded automatically by WordPress and don’t show up in the regular Plugins screen. They’re good for site-wide or permanent functionality.

If your website doesn’t need comments (like a company site, landing page, or static blog), this plugin helps you clean everything related to WordPress comments with zero configuration.
- Go to your WordPress directory.
- Open the
wp-content/mu-plugins/folder. - If the
mu-pluginsfolder doesn’t exist, create it. - Copy the file
site-comments-disabler.phpinto this folder.
That’s it! WordPress will load the plugin automatically. No need to activate it — MU plugins run by default.
This plugin is open source and released under the GPL-2.0 license.
