    hi people.

    A year ago I disabled the “allow comments” option because spam and other stuff and now I want to allow comments again in my posts. So i went to Options -> Discussion and marked “Allow people to post comments on the article” again. Now, new posts since then have comments enabled, but all posts written between a year ago and now have comments off, because the setting in Discussion options are overridden for individual articles. Anybody know a way or plugin to enable comments in all that posts? I don’t want to edit manually one by one enabling the option “allow comments”.

    thanxs in advance.

    “If you want to allow comments to all your posts, the SQL command is of the following form:

    UPDATE wp_posts SET comment_status = “open” ;

    Now, it depends if the tables making up your installation indeed start with the “wp_” prefix (this is the default, but you can set this to anything else at installation time, so check this).”

    Got this from here:

    I hope this helps. =)
