Disable Comments
Turn off comments where you do not need them — including submissions, feeds, REST, trackbacks, and the Comments admin screens.
Where to find it
SiteNivo → Disable Comments
Toggles
| Toggle | Effect |
|---|---|
| Disable Comments | Closes new comments on selected types; blocks submissions, comment feeds, comment-reply scripts, and comment XML-RPC methods. Does not delete existing comments. |
| Hide existing comments | Hides approved comments on the front end for selected types (data stays in the database). |
| Remove Comments Menu | Hides Comments from admin menu, admin bar, dashboard widget, and related metaboxes; blocks direct URLs like edit-comments.php / comment.php (redirects to this module). |
| Disable Comments REST API | Removes /wp/v2/comments endpoints and blocks REST inserts (site-wide when On). |
| Disable Trackbacks | Closes trackbacks/pingbacks on selected types. |
