Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about Really Simple Disable Comments

No, this plugin only hides existing comments and prevents new comments. It does not delete any data from your database.
No, this plugin is designed to completely disable comments across all post types for simplicity.
No, the plugin is very lightweight and only adds the necessary hooks to disable comment functionality.
No. Editorial Notes are private annotations collaborators leave on a post, and WordPress serves them over the same REST route as public comments. The plugin keeps that route available for Notes only, so Notes keep working while public comment data stays blocked. Use the rsdc_allow_editorial_notes filter to turn Notes off as well. The route itself stays registered, so it is still listed at /wp-json/wp/v2 and still answers OPTIONS with the comment schema; every request that is not Note traffic gets the same 404 rest_no_route as before.
/comments/feed/ and per-post comment feeds return 404, and their autodiscovery links are removed from the page head. Anyone still subscribed to a comment feed will stop receiving it. Your main content feed at /feed/ is untouched. Use the rsdc_disable_comment_feeds filter to keep comment feeds enabled.
On block themes the plugin now stops comment blocks producing output at all, rather than only hiding them with CSS. Commenter names, comment text and avatar URLs no longer ship with the page, so scrapers and crawlers cannot read them. Use the rsdc_disable_comment_block_output filter to restore the old behavior.
