After the installation and activation of this plugin you can go to its settings page and from there you can disable the comments throughout your website.
OR
2. Disable comments for each Post or Custom Post Type
Comments are enabled in WordPress by default. You can change this default for new posts or pages youâll publish in the future, as well as change it for posts or pages you already published.
To change the defaults for new posts or pages, go to Dashboard â Settings â Discussion and uncheck this option.
To disable comments on an existing post/page/project, open it for editing. Under the main content area, you should see a box labeled âDiscussionâ. Simply uncheck both boxes and save your changes.
What if you canât see the discussion box? Then you need to click the âScreen Optionsâ tab in the upper right corner of your screen and check the box to enable the discussion module. You still need to close the tab and navigate to the bottom of the page and uncheck âAllow Commentsâ in the discussion module.
