Many of us like to get feedback on what we have posted it is a confirmation that someone really read the content and bothered to write something about it. But is it always that way? I guess not, today I was building up a website (not blog) and I realized that all pages had a comment section. It was not practical at all because not every content needs feedback.
Can I disable the comments?
YES. It is fortunate that for every page or post you publish you can either allow or disable comments. How can i disable comments?
Let us see the ways you can do it.
This is in advanced settings on your right when you type/post
The second image is a quick edit snapshot, in your dashboard selects posts and when your put the cursor on one of the post there is a Quick Edit option click that.
Image 1 is from the new look WordPress and image 2 is from the classic dashboard, what you need to do is to uncheck the Allow Comments.
Alright now you know how to stop us bugging you in your post that you just used as a therapy and did not want to receive any feedback from us. I had trouble disabling comments until I found that quick edit option so here I am sharing for those who might face the problem I faced today.
Thank you!

[ Smiles ] I think that you should keep all of the comments enabled. Why? Because it would allow those who want to interact with you to comment. I will admit that most people are not in the habit of commenting; but please do not deny those who enjoy commenting on other people’s articles.

Really? 🙂
I will have to think it over, I still believe not everything needs a feedback.
Please don’t ask like what..

It seems too that people sometimes disable comments on topics they worry might be controversial, like the don’t want to deal with the fallout. Regardless, I agree that static pages don’t necessarily need the comments enabled. I didn’t ever think about the WordPress functionality deeply enough before to realize that you can build a website out of it. Very interesting.
