Turn off Comments?

  • In what version are we going to address the single most confusing aspect of WordPress – How to turn off comments for posts and pages?

    Unless you are a expert, this problem comes up every time a neophyte sets up a website using WordPress. It is very confusing. I’m guessing that the majority of new WordPress sites are NOT blogs. Yet this is not the default.

    I’ve seen this question raised so many times it defies the laws of logic that it hasn’t been addressed by now.

    bartek.kozera – The reason the ticket got so deep into things is that a simple fix is not always the best fix.

    Also we actually used to have it the other way, it confused more people in UX testings (which we do!) :/

    I want comments on my site. However, one of my subscribers complained that he accidentally checked the notify me of new comments box and now he gets four notices for every comment posted.

    I suggested that he unsubscribe and then re-subscribe omitting the check in “notify of new comments”. Is there another way? I don’t like suggesting that people unsubscribe.

    @dcootware: If you require assistance then, as per the Forum Welcome, please post your own topic instead of tagging onto someone else’s topic.

    This topic references an old version of WordPress.
