Requirement:

Spam comments try to rape my blog everyday, I want to disable the comment feature.

Step 1: Disable the comment /pingback/trackback in WordPress admin console:

By un-checking these two boxes, no body can comment or pingback/trackback to the *NEW* posts from now on.

but, “(These settings may be overridden for individual articles.)”, this means all your post *prior* to the change still can be commented of pingback, let’s move to next step.

Step 2: Disable ALL posts comment and pingback/trackback

Run this SQL:

UPDATE ‘wordpress_posts’ SET comment_status='closed', ping_status='closed'

From now on, NO ONE can comment / ping / trackback to any post. Life is much better.
