How to Disable Comments on All Images in WordPress

by John P.

WordPress has long had a major problem, that has yet to be solved by the development team. Namely, the fact that there is no way to globally disable commenting on certain types of posts or pages – most notably images and media files.

NOTE: This plugin is no longer in development, so I recommend Viper’s WordPress Admin Bar. If that one doesn’t work for some reason, this one still does. WP Admin Bar is an indispensable WordPress plugin which displays links to the Administration Panel at the top of a blog’s page – but only for users who [...]

March 25, 2007

The Google Translator plugin allows WordPress to add a number of alternate languages to your blog. This plugin is derived from Scott Hough’s WP Translate, but makes a number of changes: The Google Translate service is used, which does a much better job of maintaining page layout then Babelfish. Height and width attributes are included [...]
