hehe, this is an useful snippet. Always wondering why WordPress is making possible commenting on pages, kind of dumb.

Thanks for sharing!

@Rob The index.php in the plugin directory may not exist. In my installations I move this directory to another place usually. And I don’t copy the index.php.
If you have access to your theme just change the page.php.

Nice one.

To make it work in you functions.php you could use this:

function disable_comments_on_pages( $file ) {
return is_page() ? WP_PLUGIN_DIR . "/index.php" : $file;
}
add_filter( 'comments_template', 'disable_comments_on_pages', 11 );

My bad. Copy&paste without thinking. Removed the space in front of the lines and now it works like a charm.

Danke!

Michael, the critical information is the line number. :)

Could it be an UTF-8 BOM?
