To disable comments in WordPress, you can follow these steps:
1. Disable Comments Globally: If you want to disable comments on your entire WordPress site, you can go to your WordPress dashboard and navigate to “Settings” -> “Discussion”. In the “Default article settings” section, uncheck the option that says “Allow people to submit comments on new articles”. This will disable comments for all future posts and pages.
2. Disable Comments on Existing Posts/Pages: If you want to disable comments on specific posts or pages, you can edit the individual post or page in the WordPress editor. In the editor, locate the “Discussion” panel, which is usually found in the right sidebar. Uncheck the option that says “Allow comments” or “Enable comments”. This will disable comments specifically for that post or page.
3. Bulk Edit: If you have a large number of existing posts or pages and want to disable comments on all of them at once, you can use the bulk edit feature. Go to the “Posts” or “Pages” screen in your WordPress dashboard, select the posts/pages you want to modify (or select all), and choose “Edit” from the “Bulk Actions” dropdown. Click the “Apply” button, and in the bulk edit options, you’ll find the “Comments” section. Set the comments status to “Do not allow” or “Closed” and save the changes. This will disable comments for the selected posts/pages.
4. Use a Plugin: If you prefer a more comprehensive approach to managing comments, you can use plugins that provide additional features and settings for comment management. One popular plugin is “Disable Comments”, which allows you to disable comments globally or selectively based on post types. Simply install and activate the plugin, and follow the instructions provided by the plugin to disable comments as per your requirements.
By following these methods, you can effectively disable comments in WordPress either globally or on specific posts/pages. Remember to save your changes after making any modifications to ensure that the comment functionality is disabled as desired.
Login to your WordPress dashboard. Navigate to Settings > Discussion. Uncheck the box next to Allow people to submit comments on new posts. Click Save Changes.
