 * On the site under construction, post are being sorted and displayed by category.
   I need to disable the ability for visitors to leave a comment on one of the sorted
   pages.
    Despite the pages tab in the admin panel giving me the option to “do 
   not allow” comments, and the page being updated to do just that, the comments
   are not disabled on the site. anybody any ideas why, and how to go about disabling
   the ability to comment for that particular page?

 * If you mean you clicked to turn off comments from Settings -> Discussion, that
   only does it for posts you’ve made after checking that.
 * You have to go in to each page and edit them.

 * Hi, thanks for getting back. No, I went to the actual page, and edited it from
   there, meaning the drop down list in comments was set to “do not allow”, and 
   then update was clicked. It works fine on another page, but this one seems to
   have a mind of its own.
    The site is [http://www.people-in-need.com](http://www.people-in-need.com),
   the offending page is in the “Scribes Corner” menu, “Limericks” It also seems
   to truncate the full post, thereby not showing the “rating” until “leave a comment”
   is hit.
