## Beschrijving

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.php` file 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.
   php` used 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.

## Installatie

 1. Upload the `brightery-absolute-comment-blocker` folder to the `/wp-content/plugins/`
    directory, or install directly through the WordPress plugins screen by uploading
    the zip file.
 2. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ screen in WordPress.
 3. That’s it! Comments are now absolutely blocked at the server level.

## FAQ

### Will this delete my existing comments?

No, this plugin only blocks new comments from being submitted. Existing comments
will remain untouched in your database.

### Do I need to configure any settings?

No. The plugin works instantly upon activation to protect your site.
