# Disabling comments on posts based on date

 * I’m looking for a WordPress Plugin that allows me to disable comments on posts
   published before a certain date.
 * Basically it needs to do something like the line below, where the date should
   be something I can set.
 * `UPDATE wp_posts SET comment_status = 'closed' WHERE post_date < '2011-01-01'
   AND post_status = 'publish';`
 * I found the above query @ [http://lrtm.nl/onv5OW](http://lrtm.nl/onv5OW) (and
   here [http://lrtm.nl/q8Ye4a](http://lrtm.nl/q8Ye4a)), but is it available as 
   a plugin?
 * Thanks!
