  • when you create a post, scroll down to the "discussion" palette and unchecked "allow comments on this post"..
  • I've been wondering how to do that. Those constant comments are getting soooo annoying.
    Thanks guys.

    • Thank you Guys,

      This idea works for the new posts in future. But still i have to edit the old posts to uncheck the " Allow comments on this post"

      Is there any other idea to change this settings at once for all old posts?

      Thanks

  • My formula on my niche WordPress blogs is to use Akismet and moderate all comments. If a particular site gets hit hard with auto-spam I use a captcha plugin. This means that I never have to deal with spam comments while I can preserve good, legit, comments that provide SEO benefits from updated content and additional keywords.

    However, if you want to disable comments entirely, the best way is to edit the theme's single.php (assuming it's following the standard WordPress design) and remove the call to
    PHP Code:
    <?php comments_template(); ?>
    . This way no comment form will be shown at all.

    • 2nd that - but I wouldn't say remove it alltogether. Jus disable it by quoting it thus:
      PHP Code:
      <!--<?php comments_template(); ?>-->
      This way should you want to allow comments in the future all you do is remove the quotes and all will be back to normal.
