Question to automatically closed comments on articles older than … days

  • I would like to open in single posts the comments again even when the discussion setting is on “Automatically close comments on articles older than 365 days”. In my case the post is older that one year. How can I do this?

  • If I understand you correctly, you have some posts you want to re-open comments for, but still want to keep the 365 day limit on others? If so, take a look at this Codex article. It describes several ways to do it.

    That will open comments up again for those articles. The problem is, I don’t know if WordPress will turn them off again because of the 365 day rule the next time it runs WP-cron.

    Please post back when you test it. It would be nice to know.

    That is right. Unfortunately the website you linked has no solution for it.

    I disabled and enabled the comments in the post but still no luck as well. I think the “Automatically close comments on articles older than 365 days” is overwriting all single post settings and that’s not good.

    Any other idea who could know this?
