Thanks – this should be resolved in version 1.10.3.

I’ve just bumped the version to 1.10.3 to include some other small fixes – hopefully that update will resolve this discrepancy for you.

What version of the plugin are you using? The latest version (1.10.2) has a text domain specified for this string – see https://plugins.trac.www.ads-software.com/browser/disable-comments/trunk/includes/settings-page.php#L44 . If you’re using the latest version then for some reason your copy of it is not what is published on wordpres.org – I couldn’t say why this is…

No, sorry, I don’t have time to maintain this plugin any more. If someone wants to fork and republish the plugin then please feel free to do so.

Will I be able to reactivate comments easily in the future?

Yes, disabling the plugin should restore all comment functionality. Just make sure you don’t use the tool to delete all comments.

does the plugin usually work with custom post types?

Yes, provided those post types have properly used the WordPress API to declare support for comments.

I think it would probably be better to ask for help on the NinjaScanner forum, seeing as it is the one reporting this mismatch.

I’m not familiar with it to know what it checks for, and why it would be reporting this. If something is hacked it would be your site itself rather than the plugin in the repository.

Presumably NinjaScanner offers some additional information about what exactly doesn’t match, and offers some suggestions for what to do about it.

Hi,

Yes, it’s compatible – I just haven’t had time to update the tag on the plugin directory. I did so over the weekend.

Thanks.

The plugin isn’t doing anything fancy – it just fetches all post types that have declared support for comments.

It’s very hard to debug this without seeing the underlying code that Toolset uses to generate these post types dynamically. As Toolset is proprietary software, that is not easy to do, so I’m afraid this is unlikely to be fixed by me.

If someone from Toolset is willing/able to either explain what their code does when creating many-to-many related post types, or submit a pull request to this plugin for compatibility with Toolset, then I’m happy to look into it.

Has your second custom post type explicitly declared that it supports comments? See https://toolset.com/forums/topic/how-to-add-comments-to-custom-post-type/

Would be grateful if you can leave a note here saying which plugin it was – just so that others who use it are more likely to find the cause of the same issue.

Issues like this have always been due to another plugin or theme having a separate setting that has been turned off as a result of disabling comments. There are some suggestions here: https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/cooments-section-doesnt-come-back/

Unfortunately I am not able to provide more specific help than this, because it is always due to an interaction with the other themes/plugins on the site – i.e., this is something you will have to figure out by looking at what other configuration has changed on your site.

Sorry, I don’t have any idea why this could be – Learndash is proprietary which means I can’t look at the source code to see how it has defined its various models. This plugin supports disabling comments on any post type that declares it has support for comments – presumably the objects you want to edit don’t do this. I think you will need to ask Learndash support if you need further help.

I have just released version 1.10.2 which hopefully resolves the issue (1.10.1 didn’t resolve it for people who are using the classic editor plugin).

I am not able to reproduce this issue with the latest version.

If you or someone else can to provide more information (console errors in the browser, or PHP errors in the back end that could indicate where the error is), or specific steps to reproduce in a clean install of WordPress, I will look into it further.
