# Question on “Comments”

 * My original idea was to have comments turned off for my blog, but now after around
   100 posts or so, I’ve changed my mind and would like to allow people to comment
   on all of my entries. Is there any way to turn comments on for all of these entries
   without manually editing each entry?
 * Thanks!

 * Yup, in your phpMyAdmin (MySql) database for your blog, run this query:
    `UPDATE
   wp_posts SET comment_status = "open";`
 * That *should* automatically turn on comments, for ALL your posts, without having
   to manually change it via the Blog’s Control Panel. I hope this helps. 😉 =)
