• Hello
    is it possible to disable the comment option (form) from certain pages/articles on wordpress.
    I want these pages to be static like Organization History/About us..

    Thank you so much

  • You can – I believe that those sections are in the “editor” mode under area1.php, area2.php

    Best of luck!

    Thanks brlbeagle
    excuse my ignorance in wordpress

    I looged into admin page, Apperance -> Editor (correct?)
    if I look at the files list on the right, I can’t find area1 and area.php

    Does this disable comments for the whole website or only specific categories?

    Please help
    Thank You so much

    Edit page.php in your theme and replace:

    <?php comments_template();?>

    with:

    <?php if( have_comments() || ‘open’ == $post->comment_status ) : ?>
    <?php comments_template();?>
    <?php endif;?>

    Thanks I got an answer

    Settings >> Discussion >> uncheck “Allow people to post comments on new articles”

    This applies to new posts that you will publish from now on. To disallow comments from already publish posts:

    Posts >> select them all and “Edit” under bulk actions and hit apply >> choose “do not allow” next to comments and hit update posts.
