Allow no comments for all posts under specific category??

  • I’ve been searching for a way to allow no comments for all posts under a specific category and have been unsuccessful so I had to resort to the forums.. Could anybody point me in the right direction of accomplishing this task? Perhaps there is a plugin, documentation or code snipplet that could work for this..

    I know that you can block comments for each post in the advanced options, but is this the only way to do it?? It would be easier if I could just block the whole category so I dont have to uncheck comments every time..

    Thank you much forum!

  • this is an easy one…

    in single.php, look for:

    <?php comments_template(); ?>

    change that to:

    <?php if (!in_category(‘xx’)) comments_template(); ?>

    Change the XX to the ID of the category you wish to EXCLUDE from comments.
