Most of the time I really don’t care how are you changing WordPress as it doesn’t bothers me at all. But at some point everyone find something which is not good for them. In my example details like removing turned on comments for pages by default annoys me like hell.<\/p>\n
For god sake you have options why don’t you make use of it? Why do you force users with solutions which with not everyone will be happy?<\/p>\n
In options you can tick on “Allow users to comment on new articles” (or something like that). You could just add new field with “Allow users to comment on new pages” and have them choose whether they want turned on comments by default on article and pages or not. Was it so hard to make that? Next time you remove some features think: Does removing this will be usefule for everyone? Does noone use it?<\/p>\n
My site is based on pages not articles so this option is essential for me as I will forget about that little detail to tick on next time I create page and many more times.<\/p>\n
TL;DR;<\/p>\n
Allow users to decide whether they want turned off\/on comments on pages and articles by adding in options field “Allow users to comment on new pages”.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-6470554","topic","type-topic","status-closed","hentry"],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/support\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topic\/6470554","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/support\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topic"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/support\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/topic"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/support\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topic\/6470554\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/support\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=6470554"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
