Take Full Control of WordPress Comments — Globally, by Category, or Per Post
Disable Comments Per Cat or Post is a lightweight yet powerful WordPress plugin developed by AdverGroup Web Design to give site owners complete control over how and where comments appear. Whether you’re managing a blog, business website, directory platform, or a network of content-heavy pages, this plugin delivers flexible, reliable, and theme-proof comment management.
Instead of relying on WordPress’ basic “Allow Comments” toggle—which can be overlooked, inconsistent, or overridden by themes—this plugin introduces a smarter, more bulletproof system for disabling comments exactly where you want them.
✔ Three Ways to Control Comments
- Global Mode — Disable All Comments Site-Wide
Instantly shut down comments across your entire site. No theme conflicts, no exceptions, no hidden forms—everything is fully disabled. - Per Category Mode
Add a simple toggle on each category. Perfect for blogs where certain topic categories allow discussions while others don’t. - Per Post Mode
A dedicated “Disable Comments” checkbox appears on every post edit screen. Ideal for selectively turning comments on/off without altering your global settings.
✔ 100% Theme-Proof Comment Blocking
Unlike basic comment-disable plugins that rely solely on WordPress defaults, Disable Comments Per Cat or Post uses multiple layers of enforcement to ensure the comment form can never appear when disabled.
- Overrides the comment template with an empty file
- Forces
comments_open()to return false - Forces
pings_open()to return false - Clears existing comments from output
- Blocks new comments from being submitted directly
- Prevents themes from loading comments even if they misbehave
No matter what theme you use—Gantry, Divi, Avada, Elementor, Beaver Builder, custom themes, or anything else—this plugin ensures comments stay completely disabled wherever you choose.
✔ Designed for Speed & Simplicity
This plugin is intentionally built with minimal, efficient code. No heavy frameworks, no bloat, no unnecessary scripts. It loads only what is needed and keeps your site fast and responsive.
