Repository metrics are context, not quality scores. Active installations measure adoption and can strongly reflect a plugin’s age and historical popularity. Ratings, recent updates and “Tested up to” metadata also do not guarantee modern code, error-free operation, security, feature completeness or suitability for a particular site.

Overview

About this plugin

This plugin will remove any of the default WordPress comments features from your site, and replace this with Disqus.

Please note: Disqus comments will not be automatically imported into your WordPress dashboard. Instead, you can continue to moderate your comments via your Disqus moderation page. This plugin will add a quick link to your Disqus moderation page in the WordPress Admin Bar.

Reasons to use this plugin:

  • Simplify your WordPress dashboard by removing the “Comments” admin menu.
  • Easy setup: simply add the Disqus shortname in the settings and you’re all set.
  • Comments are NOT imported to WordPress – save server resources and database size.
  • Improved spam protection to keep junk out your site’s database.
  • It has a silly name.
