  • There are some comment settings at Dashboard > Settings > Discussion, and/or you should also be able to control that for individual pages from the Dashboard’s page editor.

    I can only find global restrictions.
    Doesn’t the definition of a static page preclude comments?

    That would be logical for someone (including me) who is not speaking through the filter of a “blog” mindset, but I have a box in “Quick Edit” for that page that lets me decide.

    The inclusion of the comments module on “pages” is controlled by the theme’s code. If the theme does not provide an admin interface to change this, you will need to lift the hood.

    How do I get to the Quick Edit function?

    You can use a plugin to hide comments on all pages,

    Or if you are comfortable editing code, you can remove the comments sectinon from page.php in your theme.

    It is possible to control on an individual page basis. You should see this right underneath the content section in the page/post editor. If you don’t see it, then go to the top right of the dashboard, and look for “Screen Options” in the dropdown, check “Discussion”, and then you should see it.
