id=\"How_to_Turn_Off_Comments_on_Your_WordPress_Blog\"><\/span>How to Turn Off Comments on Your WordPress Blog<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h1>\n<p>WordPress is a highly customizable and user-friendly Content Management System (CMS) that offers a range of features for bloggers. One such feature is the ability to disable comments on blog posts. While comments are great for fostering conversation and audience engagement, there may be times when you need to turn them off. Here&#8217;s a guide on how to do it:<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Step_1_Log_in_to_your_WordPress_Dashboard\"><\/span>Step 1: Log in to your WordPress Dashboard<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The first step is to log in to your WordPress dashboard by visiting your website URL followed by &#8220;\/wp-admin&#8221;. For example, www.yourwebsite.com\/wp-admin should get you there.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Step_2_Go_to_the_Settings_page\"><\/span>Step 2: Go to the Settings page<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Once you&#8217;re in, click on the &#8220;Settings&#8221; tab in the left-hand navigation menu to get to the Settings page.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Step_3_Click_on_the_Discussion_Tab\"><\/span>Step 3: Click on the Discussion Tab<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>In the Settings page, click on the &#8220;Discussion&#8221; tab to access your comment settings.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Step_4_Disable_comments_globally\"><\/span>Step 4: Disable comments globally<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you want to turn off blog comments for all posts, simply uncheck the &#8220;Allow people to post comments on new articles&#8221; option. This will disable comments on all future blog posts.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Step_5_Disable_comments_on_individual_posts\"><\/span>Step 5: Disable comments on individual posts<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you only want to disable comments on specific posts, you can do so by going to the post editor for that post. Scroll down until you see the &#8220;Discussion&#8221; box on the right-hand side and uncheck the &#8220;Allow comments&#8221; box.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Step_6_Use_a_plugin_to_disable_comments\"><\/span>Step 6: Use a plugin to disable comments<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you want more control over your comment settings, you can use a plugin such as &#8220;Disable Comments&#8221; to disable comments globally or on a per-post basis. It can also remove all comment-related fields from the WordPress dashboard.<\/p>\n<p>Final thoughts:<\/p>\n<p>Disabling comments on your WordPress blog can help reduce spam and unhelpful comments, and allow you to focus on other forms of engagement with your audience. However, it&#8217;s important to consider the impact this decision may have on your readership. Providing alternative ways for them to engage with your content can create a more meaningful and valuable experience for everyone.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How to Turn Off Comments on Your WordPress Blog WordPress is a highly customizable and user-friendly Content Management System (CMS) that offers a range of&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":7209,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[3287],"tags":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/mauricemuteti.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/WORDPRESS-ULTIMATE-GUIDE-How-To-step-by-step-Tutorial.png","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/mauricemuteti.info\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9500"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/mauricemuteti.info\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/mauricemuteti.info\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mauricemuteti.info\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mauricemuteti.info\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=9500"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/mauricemuteti.info\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9500\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mauricemuteti.info\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/7209"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/mauricemuteti.info\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=9500"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mauricemuteti.info\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=9500"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mauricemuteti.info\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=9500"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
