# Comment types

This configuration contains parameters of the comment types used in HivePress. Currently, the only available parameter is `public`. If you are developing a custom HivePress [extension](/developer-docs/tutorials/create-a-custom-hivepress-extension.md) and want to hide a specific comment type everywhere, set the `public` parameter to `false`.

```php
'my_comment_type' => [
	'public' => false,
],
```

For example, in HivePress, private messages are implemented as hidden comments of `hp_message` type, so this parameter is set to `false` for the `message` comment type.
