    We just decided to use comments on our site. How can I turn on comments for all billion posts on the site?

    I’m no expert on this, but…I think you just need to change comment_status to open from closed in wp_posts.

    If you check now, does all the posts in your DB have status closed? In that case, you could try and make a batch run to set them all to open.

    Whatever you do though, create backup of the DB first…

    Maybe someone else have a better suggestion.

    I have MyPHPAdmin on my MySQL database. I checked and, yes, comments are off for most posts. I guess I need to figure out how to batch change it there. It would be cool if WP had a switch to turn them on or off but I guess it doesn’t.
