    Hi there, I’m new to WordPress and have only started using it for a few days now and I’ve got my head around the WordPress theme structure but I’m wondering how I would go about closing the comments for an article I made?

    Is it a feature I’m missing or a plugin I need?

    Thanks for your support! ??

    Is it a feature I’m missing

    dashboard – posts – all posts – click ‘quickedit’ and untick ‘allow comments’

    or

    dashboard – posts – edit post – ‘screen options’ near the top right – tick ‘discussion’ – scroll below post editor – untick ‘allow comment’

    Hi there,

    In a vanilla install of wordpress this option maybe hidden, go to your post in the backend and choose to edit it.

    You should see, ‘screen options’ at the top, hit this to expand this section.

    Tick the discussion option.

    From there, untick the two options – or simply the ‘allow comments’ one. And update your post.

    You can then do this for any post or page you want.
