Plugin description
Comments On is a plugin that adds an informative column to the “All Posts” view in the Admin dashboard. It tells you the comment status for each post.
With the plugin active the column will display one of (currently) three options for each post: “open”, “closed” or “registered_only”. These settings are documented in the WordPress Codex get_post function
When viewing the All Posts screen in the Admin dashboard you will see, like in the screenshot example to the right, the Comments On column and the status for each post.
Now, quickly and easily, without having to click “Quick Edit” or “Edit” for each post you can find out which posts/pages can accept comments and which can’t. Note: If you still want to change the Comment status of a post you will need to hover over the relevant post title and click “Edit” or “Quick Edit” as normal.
