Biggest opportunity: Swap “comments”, “custom post types” and “discussion” for “trackback”, “trackbacks” and “comment author”. “comments” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “trackback” sits at #17 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “custom post types” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “trackbacks” sits at #20 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “discussion” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “comment author” sits at #24 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.

How it's measured →3.9%
of downloads still active
At least 10K of 256.3K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Uncategorized plugin keeps 0.6%, across 17,764 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Uncategorized plugins, not across the directory. wp.org reports active installs as the bottom of a band, so the real rate is this or higher.
This plugin shipped 2 releases in the last 12 months, and every existing install that updated counted as another download. wp.org publishes no split between first installs and updates, so we show the raw rate rather than guess at one.

I’m relatively new to WordPress and setting up a new site. No comments are needed (at this stage in its life) but one or two pages and posts had crept in with comments enabled. I’ve used this plugin to disable comments on all current and future pages and posts. The site will be launched on 01 May 2017 – and with this plugin I’ll manage to launch it as I mean to go on – clean and simple. The ‘No Page Comment’ plugin will be part of my standard battery of tools for any new sites.

all gone!
Read on wp.org ↗ - ★★★★★ kevinthom11.2y ago
It’s crazy that WP changed a default setting without offering a way to reverse the change from the Admin. Thank you for fixing the problem. The only suggestion I have is to make the wording in the settings more clear. Instead of “Disable comments on new” it would be more clear to say something like “Check the boxes to disable comments or trackbacks on new:” Even better would be to make it so checked boxes mean comments or trackbacks are enabled. I think that fits better with the way people think about a program’s functionality. Checked boxes usually mean enabled not disabled.
