 * Hi folks.
 * I have a long comments thread in response to one of my posts of a few years back.
   I now want to close it, but do not want to lose the comments that have been made.
   How do I go about closing it (including a notification at the head of the comments
   thread that it has now been closed), while preserving all comments that have 
   been made?
 * Cheers
    Ross

 * Go to Posts > All Posts, and hover over the post you want comments closed on.
   You’ll see “Quick Edit” option, click it. Once panel opens, on the right side,
   uncheck “Allow Comments” field, and hit Update. This will close any future comments
   on that post, but old comments will remain.
