# 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!
