This is a must-have plugin for developers. I regularly build WordPress sites, and disabling comments has always been a repetitive manual task. This plugin handles it instantly, saving time and ensuring nothing is missed. Simple, efficient, and exactly what it should be. Thanks to the developer for creating such a practical tool. I’ll be using this on every project.
