Disable Comments

Disable Comments completely removes the WordPress commenting system site-wide. Comments are hidden from posts and pages, the Comments menu disappears from admin, and all comment-related features are disabled. This is perfect for sites that do not need public discussion, want to avoid comment spam entirely, or use external commenting systems. The module is thorough, removing comment forms, comment counts, comment feeds, and the Recent Comments widget. A clean removal rather than just hiding.
