Thanks Michael. That’s what I’ll do — not so hard after all! Cheers.
I figured it out myself: Pings must also be unchecked in order for ‘Comments Off’ to be displayed.
I’m running WordPress 2.0.2 and am having problems with “Comments Off” no longer being displayed. Instead you press “No comments” only to find you can’t post any comments. I’m sure my posts used to say “Comments Off” but no longer…
I want to got this working again, and have found some information on it, like that there’s a pluggin called “Smart Comments Plugin v 2.0” which does exactly this – But now I’m not sure I want to install a pluggin yet or go about fancy ways of fixing this when I’m sure it was working originally.
Any suggestions?
