Remove comment field for selected pages

Edit the page. On the bottom, there’s an option for discussion which says if you want to allow comments or ping backs ?? Uncheck what you don’t want. Save. Party.

Just open a page for edit, scroll down you’ll see the “Discussion” section.

Uncheck the words that say “Allow comments”

Hope this would helps

since wp3.1:

if you can’t find this ‘discussion’ section, click on ‘screen options’ near the top right of that page.

if you can’t find this ‘discussion’ section, click on ‘screen options’ near the top right of that page.

This seems to work only in the admin page. If I uncheck comments i don’t see them Only in the admin panel but they still remain in the site page, unfortunately.

Any other tips?

Got it. In Screen Options you have to tick “Discussion” and THEN when you scroll your page in the edit page you’ll see the “Allow comments” option.

Now, just to know it: how can i disable comments in the whole site?

General Settings -> Discussion

Uncheck Allow people to post comments on new articles

That WILL NOT turn off comments on posts that currently allow comments. Just new ones.

You can disable them for the whole site in your site admin settings – under Settings, choose Discussion. One of the checkboxes is to not allow comments. This will only affect NEW posts created, though; not those that are already on your site. YOu’ll have to manually turn those off. (similarly, after you disable sitewise, you can turn commments on for just a post here and there, should you want to).

Your other option – open the PHP files/templates that are displaying your posts, and remove the code that displays the comments. That would be one way to stop them from displaying on ALL your posts, if you have a lot. Depending on your theme, it would be removing the line ‘<?php comments_template(); ?>’ from your files/templates, though it could be something else (but similar) depending on the theme.

Ok thanks.

What if my template is Twenty Ten?

Then you should make a child theme, cause if you edit 2010 directly you will LOSE your edits when you upgrade ??

Oh don’t worry, i’m not going to upgrade WP. I just need to build a simple website. But i need to know how to delete the whole comment thing

Just a friendly suggestion – you always, always want to upgrade your WP installation when a new version comes out. You’ll be sorry down the road. Unless you only need this site to be up for a month or two, you definitely will need to upgrade someday.

Ok, I don’t get this point: if i don’t upgrade WP, my site will be down? I mean, offline?

Yeah, yeah you will upgrade WordPress ?? You want to, you need to, and that’s … what you’re gonna do. It’s what we all do.

WordPress is a constantly evolving well-oiled machine. If you stroll through the Codex you will see the best documentation ever of the evolution of a piece of software. Lots of functions and template tags have been deprecated over time. Do they break immediately? No – but eventually it’s bound to happen. Plus, if you are using plugins anywhere, you’ll have to upgrade those – and if you’re not upgrading your WP then that will cause a problem. If you don’t upgrade the plugins, that will cause a problem.

Furthermore, look through the history of WP upgrades and their reasons. A number have been for security holes. The farther out of date, the bigger risk you have of someone sabotaging your site.

There are 1,001 reasons you need to keep your WP installation up to date… I can go on if you like… ??

Furthermore, with one-click upgrading, there’s just no reason not to (but take it from someone who’s learned… you have to backup your database, and preferably your site files too, before doing an upgrade! Every time!)

Just trying to pass on some wisdom I’ve learned over time…
