Plugin page: Auto-Close Comments, Pingbacks and Trackbacks | WordPress.org plugin page
Close comments, pingbacks and trackbacks on your WordPress posts automatically at intervals set by you
Spammers target old posts in a hope that you won't notice the comments on them. Why not stop them in their tracks by just shutting off comments and pingbacks? Auto-Close Comments, Pingbacks and Trackbacks let's you automatically close comments, pingbacks and trackbacks on your posts, pages and custom post types.
You can also choose to keep comments / pingbacks / trackbacks open on certain posts, page or custom post types. Just enter a comma-separated list of post IDs in the Settings page.
An extra feature is the ability delete post revisions or limit their number.
- Close (or open) comments on posts, pages, attachments and even Custom Post Types!
- Close (or open) pingbacks and trackbacks as well across all post types. You can also choose to delete them
- Schedule a cron job to automatically close comments, pingbacks and trackbacks daily
- Delete all post revisions or limit the number of revisions by post type
