Disable comments on certain pages

    In my site I have some pages that are just regular web pages and comments are necessary/desired, so I don’t want the comments box – basically everything below the “Leave a comment” line that is on every page. The caveat is, I also am posting articles from time to time and want to allow comments – a regular blog.

    How can I get the comment stuff off of the static pages but keep the comments on my article posts?

    Allow/Disallow comments on specific page/post:
    – To disable/able comments on future Pages/Posts, uncheck/check “Allow people to post comments on new articles” in Settings -> Discussion. Then where you create/edit posts or pages in admin, check if you have ticked comments for your posts/pages in the “discussion” box below the editor. If you don’t see the “discussion” box there, in the ‘screen option’ dropdown field (located near the top right), there are tick-boxes to show the ‘discussion’ box for the posts/pages. Tick mark it. In the ‘discussion’ box below the post/page editor, you can then allow/disallow comments for the page.

    Excellent! Thanks for the very clear instructions, Tara. I have it set up how I want now.
