How to Disable Comments on a Page in WordPress

If you are using WP to create a website that is not in a blog format, you will want to disable comments on pages.

By default WordPress puts comments on pages. Frequently, these comments, however, are not desired and need to be disabled. I have always found it rather odd how you have to do this. On posts it is easy disable comments when creating a new post. However, with pages we have to create the page first, and then go back and edit it.

1 You will need to have your page created before you can disable comments. Check out the Pages > All Pages to see a list of all the created pages for your website.

2 You should see the list of all your pages on the right.

3 Hover your mouse over one of the entries. From the links that appear under it, click on Quick Edit.

4 You will see a checkbox next to Allow Comments. Simply un-check this entry to turn off comments. Hit Update and you are done.
