▬▬▬▬ Video Transcript ▬▬▬▬
Hi, this is Matt, and this is a video on how to turn off comments in WordPress. I'm right here on the WordPress dashboard in a demo version of WordPress, and there's a couple of different ways that we can do this. We can do this granularly on individual posts, or we can do it globally as well.
So, I'll show you how to do this globally first. We're just going to come down here to Settings at the bottom of the WordPress sidebar and then over to Discussion. We click on Discussion, and now there are a couple of options here.
First, we have this checkbox, Allow people to submit comments on new posts. Unchecking this will stop comments on any new posts made after this change. If you want to disable comments entirely on all future posts, you’ll want to select this option here, Automatically close comments on posts older than.... Set this to 0, and it will stop comments on all previous and current posts. Don't forget to Save Changes at the bottom.
If we want to handle comments on individual posts, we can do that too. In the Gutenberg editor for any post, go to the Post settings, and you'll find an option for Discussion. This post is currently open for comments, so if I click Open and select Close, it will disable comments just on this post. You can also disable pingbacks and trackbacks here if desired. Don’t forget to Save the post.
Why might you want to turn off comments? Perhaps you’re using your blog just to broadcast information without discussion, or maybe you've posted something where you want to avoid public feedback. These settings give you flexibility over your content. So, I hope this video was helpful—that’s how to turn off comments on WordPress!
