Plugin turning off Comments and Pingbacks on posts when saving

With this plugin active, if I check the box in the Discussions section in the post editor to turn on comments or pingbacks, when I save the post, it doesn’t save that. So I went into the database and manually set the comments to be open. When I went to the post editor again, the box was checked, but as soon as I updated the post, the checkbox was unchecked and the database entry was changed to “closed”.

I deactivated all plugins and tested and then reactivated one by one. I narrowed it down to this plugin. when it’s activated, I can’t turn on comments (it marks them as closed). When the plugin is deactivated, everything works normally. Is this is known bug or is there something I can do to get this to work? Thanks!
