The plugin provides the option to completely disable the commenting feature in WordPress. When this option is selected, the following changes are made:

• All "Comments" links are hidden from the Admin Menu and Admin Bar;
• All comment-related sections ("Recent Comments", "Discussion" etc.) are hidden from the WordPress Dashboard;
• All comment-related widgets are disabled (so your theme cannot use them);
• The "Discussion" settings page is hidden;
• All comment RSS/Atom feeds are disabled (and requests for these will be redirected to the parent post);
• The X-Pingback HTTP header is removed from all pages;
• Outgoing pingbacks are disabled.

Please delete any existing comments on your site before applying this setting, otherwise (depending on your theme) those comments may still be displayed to visitors.
