About One Click Close Comments
The One Click Close Comments plugin allows admins and post authors to easily open or close comments on posts and pages from the admin listing. The plugin uses a color-coded indicator to show the current comment status, and the change is submitted in the background without requiring a page reload. It is important to note that this plugin is only available for admin users with JavaScript enabled.Screenshots
