== Frequently Asked Questions ==

= Does this plugin delete existing comments? =
No — It only hides them from. Comments are still stored in the database.

= Will this plugin work with any theme? =
Yes. It works with all standard WordPress themes. If your theme uses custom comment output, visual hiding is applied via CSS.

Yes — simply uncheck "Hide comment form" and keep "Hide existing comments" enabled.

No — the plugin is very lightweight and only adds the necessary hooks to disable comment functionality.
