- Go to the WordPress website’s Dashboard menu option Settings
- Choose Discussion
- Then uncheck or tick the box labelled “Allow people to post comments on new articles”
You can also hack the comment code in the PHP files such as single.php, page.php or anywhere it exists. A simple way to find the code is to a search for the text that always appears with the comments. Searching all the PHP files can be achieved with your PHP editor if the facility exists, e.g. Microsoft WebMatrix.
