Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about One Click Close Comments

The commenting status link/button is only clickable if you have JavaScript enabled.

Green means the post is currently open for comments; red means the post is not currently open for comments.

You can customize the colors via CSS. The class .comment-state-1 applies to comments that are open. The class .comment-state-0 applies to comments that are closed. I recommend my Add Admin CSS plugin to easily add this CSS.

By default, commenting status is represented using the comment bubble dashicon, dashicons-admin-comments. You can change this by filtering c2c_one_click_close_comments_click_char. Here's an example -- added to a theme's functions.php file -- to change it to the original bullet (solid circle) character: add_filter( 'c2c_one_click_close_comments_click_char', function ( $a ) { return "•"; } );

WordPress already includes the interface for you to edit the comment status for a specific post. When editing a post, you'll find the setting in the "Discussion" section; the checkbox is labeled "Allow Comments".

The comment status indicator only reflects the value of the "Allow Comments" setting for the post. In most cases, the indicator will accurately reflect the ability for the user to see the comment form and/or submit a comment. However, other plugins, the theme, or custom code may affect the visitor's ability to see the comment form when viewing a post and/or may permit or disable commenting at the time the post is shown to them despite the value of the setting. For instance, you could have another plugin installed which disables comments for a post after one year. After a year, that plugin would disable comments in its own way, but the comment status indicator for the post could reflect that comments are open since technically the post's "Allow Comments" setting would still be enabled.

The comment status indicator only appears for post types that support having comments.

Yes. The tests are not packaged in the release .zip file or included in plugins.svn.wordpress.org, but can be found in the plugin's GitHub repository.
