How to turn comments off the MDocs posts

    Hi,
    I recall seeing in the WP dashboard an item to get at the posts that MDocs creates when a new file is added to the system. I still see that the posts exist, as there is an option to view the post from the document list on the site, but nowhere in WP admin is there a way to get to those posts. Was that removed?
    I ask because I would like to turn off comments on those posts, and I don’t see a way to do it in the MDocs settings.
    So I have 2 basic questions:
    Is there a way to get at the posts to individually turn off comments on the existing items?
    Is there a setting in MDocs that will let me turn off comments on the posts for any new docs added?

    Thanks

    Update: I did find the option to toggle the mDocs posts view in settings, So my other question is still whether there is a way to turn off Comments for any new files being uploaded?

    I also noticed that selecting “Hide all Posts” doesn’t seem to hide the posts created through mDocs. Would that setting just be for new items added, and not hiding the post from existing files?
    Ultimately we don’t need the post page for each file we upload, we just need a simple list of the files with the ability to view/download. The shortcode for displaying the tables for each category folder is exactly what we need, the rest isn’t necessary for our needs. Anyway to just disable the posts?

    To view mDocs posts from the dashboard goto Options>Setting>Dashboard Options> and check Show Memphis Posts Menu

    This will allow you to turn comments off all mDocs post.

    No there is no setting currently to turn off comments by default. I will add it to the feature request list thou.

    Hiding all post should hide all mDocs posts whether they are old or new. This doesn’t mean they are not created they are just hidden from normal users. Admins will still be able to see them.

    Thanks, I was unaware of the admin vs. normal user view differences. Good to know. It works as you describe for normal (non-logged in) users, not showing the link to the post!

    Having an option to have no comments would be great. Thanks
