    Is there a way to disable comments completely in the theme?
    I can only see a modifier setting to either show a button to add a comment, or a form
    I want it disabled completely

    Hello @techdistractions ,

    This is not a theme specific setting this is WordPress core functionality. Below are the methods you can disable comments on posts:

    Disable Comments in WordPress Settings:

    • Go to your WordPress dashboard.
    • Navigate to Settings > Discussion.
    • Uncheck “Allow people to post comments on new articles” and if you don’t want pingback notification uncheck “Allow link notifications from other blogs (pingbacks and trackbacks)”.
    • Save Changes.

    Remove Comments from Existing Posts:

    • If you have existing posts with comments enabled, you can bulk-edit them to disable comments.
    • Go to Posts or Pages, select all or specific posts/pages, choose Edit from the Bulk Actions dropdown, click Apply, and then set Comments to “Do not allow”.

    Use a Plugin (optional):

    • If your theme or plugins add comment-related functionality that you can’t disable through the above methods, you might consider using a plugin like Disable Comments. This plugin allows you to globally disable comments on your entire site, including for existing content.

    Thank you
