    for the “stop comments” plugin, instead of killing the whole blog when you want to disable commenting on the blog, maybe disable wp-comments, replace the comments form with a message that commenting is temporarily unavailable, and trigger the delay only when someone is trying to post a comment.

  2. Mark (34 comments.) says:

    The stop comment plugin should stop just the commenting. The blog should still work as it should. Only when someone tries to post a comment does it kill the process.

    maybe i’m using the wrong plugin then. i downloaded the off.zip file and it contains 2 files, pissoff.php and blogoff.php. when i activate the Piss off plugin it shuts the whole blog down.

    Mark,
    The Take Down Blog is great! Now some folks can more quickly take down their sites when they have a hissy-fit!

    You rock, Mark.
    BTW, where’s that $500 you owe me? ;)

  5. Mark (34 comments.) says:

    Crap. No wonder people are confused. I included the wrong files. Sorry charles. Download the plugins now. There should be a blogoff.php and a commentsoff.php now inside the zip file.

    Sorry again everyone.

  6. charles (4 comments.) says:

    it’s ok mark. that’s one of the reasons i replied with a description of the files i had.

    Cool Plugins Mark. Thanks.
    I was hit by 3 waves of Comment Spam yesterday & I wished I had checked on here earlier, so that I would have got these plugins in place & thus would’ve had less trouble than I did have.

    Still, I’m now prepared should that sneak come back. ;)

    Good plugins. I think I was hit by the same flood attempt you mention, fortunately my blacklist caught it.

    Take Down Blog is something that might be useful — the other day I fiddled with my RSS feed, (hiding a category), and all RSS subscribers will have seen it “reboot” every other second. Do you know whether this plugin would prevent that?

    I downloaded the files a few days ago, but commentsoff locked me out when I logged out and tried to log back in. Had to rename the file to login.

    The ‘Stop Comments’ plugin is very helpful. Thank You !

  11. Christiaan says:

    Thanks. Pity commentsoff.php doesn’t hide the comments form though. I hate to think of people writing a comprehensive repiy only to be told comments are not being accepted.

  12. Canon says:

    Tested the comment stop plugin on WordPress version 2.5 still works! The other did not. Thank you.

  13. Dave B says:

    Looks like it doesn’t work in 2.7. Prevents you from logging in to the Admin area – had to disable the plug-in by changing the file name.
