## Description

Era Comment Controls gives site owners a simple settings screen to manage comment
availability across the whole site, only for selected public post types, or automatically
for older posts.

It also includes a secure one-click cleanup tool for deleting existing comments 
and comment metadata.

### Features

 * Disable comments globally.
 * Disable comments for selected post types.
 * Auto-close comments on posts after a configurable number of days.
 * Hide existing comment threads on disabled content.
 * Hide the Comments admin menu when comments are disabled globally.
 * Permanently delete all existing comments from a protected admin action.

## Installation

 1. Upload the `era-comment-controls` folder to `/wp-content/plugins/`.
 2. Activate the plugin through the Plugins screen.
 3. Go to Settings > Era Comment Controls.

## FAQ

### Does this delete old comments automatically?

No. Existing comments are only deleted when an administrator clicks the delete button
and passes nonce verification.

### Can I keep comments open for blog posts only?

Yes. Leave global disable unchecked and select only Pages, Media, or any other content
type you want to disable.
