TL;DR

AI summary of the plugin's readme

This plugin is for WordPress site owners who want to receive trackbacks and pingbacks without showing them in their comments. It hides trackbacks and pingbacks from the visible comment list while updating comment counts correctly and keeping them accessible via the admin panel.
