How to remove Comments from WordPress

How to remove Comments from WordPress in 3 easy steps…

I searched everywhere including StudioPress but could not find how to remove the Comments | Speak Your Mind functionality from my wordpress web site.

When I finally did find it, I muttered.. it was so easy, I can’t believe I forgot it.

Go to the page or post that you want to hide (remove) the comments “Speak Your Mind” and 4 fields (Name, Email, Website and Comments box).

Look at the top right corner of the admin edit page for a tab that says Screen Options.

When you click on the tab the page will display extra page options panel.

  1. Tick the box next to Discussion, then click the tab again to close the option pane.
  2. Scroll down the page and look for a box named ‘Discussion’.
  3. Uncheck the Allow Comments box and update the page/post, and voila, the comments will be gone.

Global Function

I am yet to find a way where this can be done globally. In other words, by default, no page/post allows comments but I am sure there must be a way of achieving it.  If you do know, please drop me a line.

If you know how, leave a comment (sic) below.

UPDATE

Gauging by the comments coming through (isn’t that a giggle), many have said there is also a plugin that disables comments: Disable Comments

Allows administrators to globally disable comments on their site. Comments can be disabled according to post type.

Probably worth a look.
