# Feature Req: Close comments on all posts

 * I often finding myself cleaning up other people’s WordPress messes, which includes
   adding AIOWPS, of course. It also involves locking down commenting (holding comments
   for moderation, etc.), and running a little SQL:
    `UPDATE XX_posts set comment_status
   ='closed';` to make sure there aren’t old pages that have been left with comments
   open.
 * **THE SUGGESTION:**
    It would be good to have a single “Lock down comments” option
   in AIOWPS that did all this. If enabled, perhaps the dashboard could include 
   an alert if someone creates a post with commenting enabled. (I do this for pings
   as well, so perhaps that could be part of it too.)
 * Thanks,
    Colin

 * Thank you for your suggestion. I have submitted a message to the developers to
   further investigate your request.
 * Kind regards
