No Page Comment

70 Quality Score

Active Installs

18/30

With 10,000 active installs, the plugin sits in a modest niche; it is clearly useful to a specific audience but not broadly adopted.

Update Freshness

19/25

Updated on November 17, 2025, and tested against WordPress 6.8.5, the plugin shows recent, compatible maintenance that meets current core requirements.

User Rating

15/15

A perfect 100 from 22 ratings is encouraging, although the small sample size means the score carries less statistical weight than it appears.

Support Health

8/15

Zero support threads on record could mean the plugin is trouble-free, or it could mean the author has not established a visible support channel, so this number is ambiguous.

WP Compatibility

11/15

It requires WordPress 6.2 and PHP 7.4, which is reasonable and keeps it out of reach only for sites stuck on very old PHP stacks.

What It Does

No Page Comment adds an admin panel where you can set the default comment and trackback status for new posts, pages, and custom post types. Rather than adjusting discussion settings one by one inside the editor, you flip global defaults once and every newly created item inherits them. It works alongside, not instead of, WordPress's existing Discussion settings.

Who It's For

This plugin is a good fit for sites that publish a lot of pages or custom post types where comments should be off by default, such as corporate sites, portfolios, documentation hubs, and most business websites. It also helps multi-author platforms by giving editors a single place to enforce a consistent comment policy instead of relying on each author to remember to uncheck the box.

Who Should Skip It

If you run a blog or community where comments are a core feature, or you only have a handful of posts, you can handle comment defaults through the built-in Discussion settings page and do not need this plugin. Users who want comment spam filtering, moderation queues, or anti-spam intelligence should look at a dedicated tool instead.

The Bottom Line

No Page Comment is a small, focused utility that does one thing and appears to do it well, earning a 73.96 overall quality score and a perfect user rating. Its narrow feature set means it will not appeal to every site, but for administrators who routinely disable comments on pages and custom post types, it saves real time. Treat the zero support threads as a watch item rather than a red flag, and verify on a staging site before deploying across a large network.

Pick Akismet when you want comments enabled but need automated spam filtering rather than a way to disable them by default.

WP Popular Posts 89/100

Choose this if your concern is highlighting popular content rather than controlling whether new posts accept comments.

Custom Post Type UI 88/100

Pick CPTUI if you need to register and configure custom post types themselves, including their comment support flags at registration time.

Antispam Bee 88/100

Choose Antispam Bee when you want to keep comments open across your site but block spam with a privacy-friendly filter.

Meta Box 87/100

Pick Meta Box if you need a broader custom field and meta box framework that can also manage discussion settings on individual posts.
