I’m also interested in learning how to do this 🙂
On your Dashboard on the pages screen, click on screen options (top right) – then check the box for show comments option on the pages screen – so then when you make a page, make sure comments are turned off for that page.
thanks, Couldn’t figure out a way to do it retroactively to current pages. But it worked fine when I created new pages
Hi is there any way to do this for posts too?
I tried the method described above, but it only removes the comments from the dashboard posts screen and not from the posts themselves – when viewed on the website.
I also tried making some new posts after turning the ‘comments’ option off (as above), but this didn’t work either. Unlike you ptcoughlin I didn’t have to redo my pages.
Thanks

You can check an option to allow/not allow comments when you create a new post or page. There are also plugins that allow you to remove the comment function altogether on your site, along with any comments previously published. For instance: https://ww.wp.xz.cn/plugins/disable-comments/

Thank you Very much Anders
Is there any way also to remove the comments column entirely?

Is there a way I can remove the comment section entirely from pages that I make?
