2. Navigate to Settings: Click on ‘Settings’ and then select ‘Discussion’.
3. Adjust Comment Settings: Turn off the ‘Allow people to post comments on new articles’. This disables comments for all future posts. For existing posts, follow the next steps.
4. Bulk Edit Existing Posts: Go to ‘Posts’ > ‘All Posts’. Click the checkbox at the top to select all posts, choose ‘Edit’ from the ‘Bulk Actions’ dropdown, then click ‘Apply’.
Disabling Comments on Individual Posts

2. Find Discussion Box: Scroll down to the ‘Discussion’ box. If it’s not visible, click on ‘Screen Options’ at the top and make sure ‘Discussion’ is checked.
3. Turn Off Comments: Uncheck the ‘Allow comments’ option in the ‘Discussion’ box.
Follow these steps, and you’ll have comments disabled on your WordPress site or specific posts in no time.
