Enabling or Disabling Comments in WordPress
Managing comments on your WordPress site is essential for fostering community engagement. Below, we’ll guide you through the steps to enable or disable comments for both new articles and individual pages.
Managing Comments for New Articles
It’s important to note that changes made to comment settings for new articles will not affect existing comments. Here’s how to adjust your settings:
- Log in to your WordPress Dashboard.
- Navigate to Settings.
- Select Discussion.
- Locate the option Allow people to post comments on new articles and check or uncheck it:
- Checked: This allows comments on new articles.
- Unchecked: This disables comments on new articles.
Adjusting Comments on Individual Pages
To modify comment settings on a specific page, follow these steps:
- Log in to your WordPress Dashboard.
- Go to Pages.
- Select All Pages.
- Click Edit for the desired page (you can also use Quick Edit for a faster option).
- Click on Screen Options.
- Enable the Discussion checkbox.
- Check or uncheck Allow Comments:
- Checked: Comments will be enabled.
- Unchecked: Comments will be disabled.
Remember, these adjustments will only affect comments going forward and will not delete any existing comments on your WordPress pages.
