In reply to: WordPress 2.8.5: disabling commentsThanks! Running those 2 lines in PHPmyAdmin has disabled comments for all posts!
However, now when I re-enable comments for specific posts/pages, the comment box does not show anymore. I am aware I need to include the code: <?php comments_template(); ?> in my theme’s page.php file and I have included that. Any ideas why this is the case?

In reply to: WordPress 2.8.5: disabling commentsThanks for sticking around to help me out!
The thing is I need the exact opposite of what you’re describing, I am able to individually enable comments on posts/pages. The thing I am unable to do is globally (I believe that’s the term) disable commenting on the site. I have recently decided to enable it on one page, but the only option I have on 2.8.5 is to enable it for all pages/posts and then individually disable it on the new posts/pages that I will be creating.I realize my situation is very odd, hence the confusion even I get when reading what I just wrote, this is why I believe I am overlooking a very simple solution.

In reply to: WordPress 2.8.5: disabling commentsThanks for the suggestions!
Unfortunately that wasn’t exactly what I was looking for, which is in no way your fault as my initial post was unclear.
I guess I should also say what it is I want to exactly achieve.My site has been up for more than a year, many posts and pages have been added on to the site. I have recently added a new page and I would like only that page to have commenting enabled. On the older versions of wordpress you could just uncheck “allow people to post comments in articles” and just individually enable commenting on the posts/pages that I want as I add them to the site. With 2.8.5 it appears that I cannot do that, and I doubt the only solution is to manually disable comments on all of my previous pages and posts.
Reading your post again mercime your solution may work for me, just that my php knowledge is quite basic and I will need some guidance as to what the instructions mean and such.
I am also looking for the solution to this exact issue.
