Quiet Comment Disable
This is a simple plugin that allows you to disable comments being submitted to your WordPress site, but still present the natural look of your theme’s comment form.
This plugin isn’t meant for the average WordPress user, but it’s great, for example, if you have a demo site for a WordPress theme. With this plugin activated, people visiting your demo site will be able to preview the look of the comment form of your theme; however, it will not allow anyone to submit a comment. This way, you don’t end up with a WordPress theme demo site with a thousand pending comments.
Here’s a basic example from our Jump Start demo; submit a comment to test:
Download & install the zip archive
The plugin package installer can be downloaded from the WP2E project tab called “code”.
1 – Select the version to download if this option is available otherwise the “latest” version of the main plugin will be used.
2 – After downloading the zip archive install the plugin package installer in you local environment and activate the script from the plugin list.
3 – Under the section “Plugins” of the admin dashboard you should see a new “Dependencies & Licenses” link. Follow the instructions from this panel to finalize the installation of the missing dependencies.
