Brightery Absolute Comment Blocker
·
Completely disables all backend comment submissions (wp-comments-post.php, REST API, XML-RPC) to stop ghost comment spam.
Are you receiving comment moderation emails for a website that doesn’t even have a front-end comment section?
Simply hiding the comment form via your theme doesn’t stop spambots. Bots bypass your website’s visual layer and send spam data directly to WordPress’s backend files and APIs.
Brightery Absolute Comment Blocker permanently shuts down these invisible entry points to keep your inbox and database clean.
Features
- Blocks Direct POST Requests: Stops bots from brute-forcing the
wp-comments-post.phpfile by instantly returning a 403 Forbidden status. - Disables REST API Comment Endpoints: Prevents modern spam bots from injecting comments via the WordPress REST API.
- Disables XML-RPC Comments & Pingbacks: Plugs legacy vulnerabilities in
xmlrpc.phpused for flood attacks. - Cleans Up the Dashboard: Removes the „Comments“ menu item from your WordPress admin panel to keep your workspace uncluttered.
- Zero Configuration: Just install and activate. No settings pages, no bloat.
