## Description

On posts where comments are closed, the plugin will remove the text ‘Comments are
closed.’ The plugin supports any languages/text domain, and will remove the text
from themes and plugins.

Prerequisite: Since the plugin is [filtering gettext](https://codex.wordpress.org/Plugin_API/Filter_Reference/gettext),
your theme/plugin must be [localized](http://wp.smashingmagazine.com/2011/12/29/internationalizing-localizing-wordpress-theme/).

Work fine Very easy to use. Si comme moi vous avez traduit votre thème, allez changer
la phrase exacte dans l’éditeur d’extension. En dessous de la ligne 15. If like 
me you had translated your theme, go and change the exact text with the plugin editor.
Bellow line 15

The PlugIn is great. If you are having problems, read on the homepage of the author.
You may have to change the text in the plugin php file to make it work but that 
is very simple. It will work for you, BUT READ THE COMMENTS ON THE AUTHORS PLUGIN
HOMEPAGE! Regards, Axel

This plugin worked for my website and removed the ‘Comments are Closed” which appeared
on every page at the bottom.
