How to completely disable Reviews Tab

@tevya – not true…You can bulk edit products…

Yes, you can. And then you potentially have to go through many pages doing that repeatedly to get all products, PLUS you have to remember to do it on each new product (or tell your client to remember to it, if they’re the one adding new products). Using a plugin or code to do it automatically is much simpler, faster, and takes human error out of the equation for all future products.

If you wan’t to do it that way, that’s great. That’s your choice. I don’t care. We choose the way that’s simpler, faster, and less likely to have a mistake down the road. Not sure why you feel the need to come here and convince us the more complicated, slower, more error-prone way is better.

@tevya – don’t draw to your own conclusions. I am not asking you to use this method or that method. I am also not comparing which method is better. I am simply stating the fact it exists and it works.

Oh, okay. Thanks for clarifying. I guess repeatedly coming back to it, in a thread that’s all about universally disabling it, made it seem (at least to me) that you’re trying to push it as a solution where it’s not the kind of solution being sought here. My apologies if my responses were less-than kind in any way. You’re right, it is an option.

That worked great but I still have text on my product pages that says “No Rating” can this be removed also?

The add_filter code snippet worked a treat! Thanks

@tevya, in the case of hundreds of products, one can set a custom number of products for display per page under the “screen options” tab at the top in order to do what @splashingpixels.com recommended. I personally like to limit the number of plugins being used if at all necessary.

“if at all possible” you meant, not “necessary.”

Yes, that’s an option too. However, depending on the amount of products (have one store I manage that has several thousand), it’s still not practical. If you have it load to much WP and/or your browser can slow to a crawl or even crash. Keep it to a lesser amount, and you’re still having to repleat the process over and over.

As I said above, it’s certainly an option, and its a good option if you really want to avoid using a plugin and don’t mind the extra work and remembering to turn off comments/reviews on every product. However, the simplest, easiest option, from an admin/sho- manager standpoint, is the plugin I recommended.

Thanks Tevya, I also wanted to disable product reviews, and this works for that, I just added the “disable comments plugin” and it is easy, fast and efficient. It is a better way that editing functions.php because in case of updates that falls flat.. anyway, thanks.

Thanks for the info ?? helped greatly !
