It isn’t the easiest for both use cases, so let’s break it down. - -## Back to the future - -Disabling comments on all *future* blog posts is fairly straightforward: - -<ol><li>Navigate to your WordPress admin dashboard</li><li>Go to <strong>Settings</strong> > <strong>Discussion</strong></li><li>Uncheck <strong>Allow people to submit comments on new posts</strong></li><li>That’s it!</li></ol> - -## But what about old posts? - -Have no fear - “Bulk Actions” are here to save the day! In order to retroactively disable comments on older posts, do the following: - -<ol><li>Navigate to <strong>Posts</strong></li><li>Select the specific posts you would like to disable comments on (or select all of them)</li><li>Click the <strong>Bulk Actions</strong> drop-down menu and choose <strong>Edit</strong></li><li>Press <strong>Apply</strong></li><li>In the <strong>Bulk Edit</strong> view, look for the <strong>Comments</strong> drop-down </li><li>Select <strong>Do Not Allow</strong> and click <strong>Update</strong></li><li>That’s it!</li><div></div></ol> - -I hope this article saves others any headaches in the future. WordPress itself could certainly make this more streamlined, but for now what we have works. Happy (not) commenting! |
