 * Hi, I am using an argent child theme and am trying to disable comments in my 
   blog post. I thought there was normally a “disable comments” button on the post
   edit page, but now all I am seeing is “show sharing buttons” and no option to
   disable comments. Only one of my 2 blog posts is displaying a comment box… I 
   have already gone in to “Discussion” and unchecked “Allow people to post comments
   on new articles” but that has not worked to disable this comment section.
 * The page I am trying to edit is [http://serenikitty.com/4-design-nominations-on-shirt-woot/](http://serenikitty.com/4-design-nominations-on-shirt-woot/)
 * thanks

 * Ok, great to hear!
 * Did you just need to open the [Screen Options panel](https://codex.wordpress.org/Posts_Screen#Screen_Options)
   and check the Comments box so you could show the comment settings for that post?

 * Actually no, it wasn’t the screen options panel, but thank you I hadn’t noticed
   that section. It was under the “Quick Edit” section for the individual post. 
   I also unchecked “allow comments” under the quick edit section for the blog.

 * Ok great. They both essentially let you change the settings for an individual
   post or page. Glad to hear that you were able to sort it out!
