  • Just like its name

    Install and you are done, thats it.

  • What we all want. Just install it. Done.

    The code is open source, which is great. The plugin is small and extremely fast and unobtrusive. No UI (well on multisite there is a simple UI). What my customers want.

  • Does exactly what I need, no more, no less

    While some sites need more granular comment disabling/enabling functionality (e.g., by post type), for the vast majority of my clients' sites I just want them disabled site-wide. This plugin does so simply and unobtrusively. Thank you!

  • A simple, focused plugin, does it's job wonderfully

    Just install and forget that you ever installed it. It even supports Multi Site installations. Great work
