Disabling Comments

  • It is under Screen Options, of each individual Page or Post:

    Pages > Page: [Screen Options] > Discussion

    Then untick “Allow Comments”:

    [ ] Allow Comments.

    To Disable comments on any future Pages or Posts you create, go to:

    Settings > Discussion

    In the first question — Default Article Settings — disable:

    [ ] Allow people to post comments on new articles.

    This will make comments disabled by default (unless overridden by individual posts)

    Then, to disable them on any old articles, go down to the sixth option under “Other Comment Settings” and CHECK:

    [ x ] Automatically close comments on articles older than [______] days

    However *set the days to 0* (or 1).

    Great. I thought that it could be done either way. It’s strange how many times I think I’ve done it correctly – and have – but it just doesn’t take the first time. Now if I can only figure out how to reduce the font size in the widget title area…
