How to disable comments on particular posts?

  • I have searched extensively for information on this, but haven’t seen any.

    I sometimes post on controversial topics, and when I do the commenters tend to get childish and churlish. I have two posts like that now, in fact.

    I want to be able to disable commenting on those posts, and JUST those posts. I want commenting to be active for my other posts, however.

    I have not seen any way to do this, nor a plugin to allow it either. Is there some way to turn off commenting for individual posts while allowing it for others?

  • When you compose a new post look to the right where you will see various tabs one of which is Discussion. Select that then uncheck Allow Comments and/or Allow Pings.

    Edit: Just checked the link in your profile. Didn’t I hear you on Coast to Coast last night? ??

    LenK: thanks, I’ll try that out. Funny, that seems obvious now, but I haven’t found any mention of it in the WP support pages!

    And yeah, that was me on the radio. It’s been a year or so since I was on C2C, so I’m glad they invited me back. It was fun!
