    Hi,

    My blog entries are getting spammed big time and I get an email each time. So I decided to just turn off comments which is a shame.

    However, even disabling comments on each post, comments still keep getting submitted.

    What can I do to stop WordPress from accepting comments?

    Are you sure they’re not trackbacks? May have to turn them off as well.

    You can simply open the page.php and single.php pages in your template and delete the code that allows a comment window to appear. It might look something like this:

    <?php comments_template(); ?> Just delete it and re-upload those two or three files that have it included and all instances of a comment box will be erased.

    UPDATE wp_posts SET ping_status=”closed”;
