How To Disable Comments on Wordpres
This is a very common question i have been asked lately. Specially because of the Seo Facebook Comments Plugin.
Which many people don’t know is that you can easily disable a comment for a specific post or page by changing a configuration on the edit page of this post or page.
All you have to do is, first, check if the option is available, it suposed to be bellow the main post content box. If it is not there you have click on the button Screen Options on your upper right screen of the WordPress Admin, it is suposed to be right bellow your username, next to the Help button.
Once you clicked it will scroll down many options, make sure the option Discussion is checked, it probably won’t, so check it and scroll the option panel up again.
Now go back, bellow to the main content post, and now you will see a metabox called, of course, DISCUSSION. There are two checkboxes inside it Allow Comments and Allow Trackbacks and Pingbacks on this Page.
Now just uncheck both those boxes and save the post, that’s all, you just disabled the comments for the page/post that you wanted. Easy huh?
Why would you want this??? To force readers to comment through Facebook??? Why would you want to disable trackbacks??? Isn’t trackbacks good for SEO???
This process actually disabled all my comments, including the SEO Facebook Comments… Is there any way to disable JUST the word press comments? Thanks in advance.
Go into the SEO Facebook settings. In the bottom of the two big boxes, the "Comments Config" box, check the bottom box that says, "Check this to hide the default WordPress Comments (only the Crawlers will see it)." Then your Facebook comments box will appear without the regular WordPress comments box. Hope that helps!
I use css to hide the WordPress Comments.
p.nocomments, #respond { display: none; }.
It's really sad you snuck in link codes to other sites in the SEO Facebook Comment plugin cause that makes me and probably also others not to want to use it!
Must WP comments be dissabled for your plugin to work?
Pls tell me the the shortcode to hook it! I have installed it in http://results.healthbangla.com but it is not showing the comment box. So I need to hook the code manually!
