We’ve been trying to disable commenting on our blog posts and can’t get them turned off. We’ve searched the Enfold forum and found some things to try, but none have worked.
Here is a link to our blog page:
http://www.helpersinc.org/news/We’ve turned off comments in WordPress Settings -> Discussion, but that didn’t have any effect.
Please tell us how to turn off all comments on our blog posts using the Enfold theme.
Thank you!
I added the following CSS that seems to work, but can you verify this is the right way to hide commenting?
.side-container-comment, .comment_container
{ display:none; }Hey!
That works fine. You could also go to Settings > Discussion and uncheck “Allow people to post comments on new articles “. Or edit your blog posts, click “Screen options” on the right top corner and check “discussion” and then scroll below and disable them.
Best regards,
Yigit@yigit: how can you disable commenting on old posts? It works for new posts… but not for old ones… visitors can still comments… and I cannot disable manually over 2.000 blogposts…
Hi Jooster,
There is no functionality like that in the theme unfortunately, could you try searching for a plugin maybe?
Best regards,

I have a problem that I cannot see any way to switch on comments in the blogs.I have activated discussions in WP but I do not see any button for coments appearing on the blog nor any avatar.
Thank you in advance for your support
best regardsGerhard
or a radikal method via functions.php of your child-theme:
(the comments on that code shows you what is done by the code)please try this here :
// Disable support for comments and trackbacks in post types function df_disable_comments_post_types_support() { $post_types = get_post_types(); foreach ($post_types as $post_type) { if(post_type_supports($post_type, 'comments')) { remove_post_type_support($post_type, 'comments'); remove_post_type_support($post_type, 'trackbacks'); } } } add_action('admin_init', 'df_disable_comments_post_types_support'); // Close comments on the front-end function df_disable_comments_status() { return false; } add_filter('comments_open', 'df_disable_comments_status', 20, 2); add_filter('pings_open', 'df_disable_comments_status', 20, 2); // Hide existing comments function df_disable_comments_hide_existing_comments($comments) { $comments = array(); return $comments; } add_filter('comments_array', 'df_disable_comments_hide_existing_comments', 10, 2);to quick css
.comment-entry { display: none; }and if you are a bit paranoid : add this to functions.php / child-theme
// Redirect any user trying to access comments page function df_disable_comments_admin_menu_redirect() { global $pagenow; if ($pagenow === 'edit-comments.php') { wp_redirect(admin_url()); exit; } } add_action('admin_init', 'df_disable_comments_admin_menu_redirect');if you even don’t like to have on dashboard or admin top menu the comments functionality:
// Remove comments metabox from dashboard function df_disable_comments_dashboard() { remove_meta_box('dashboard_recent_comments', 'dashboard', 'normal'); } add_action('admin_init', 'df_disable_comments_dashboard'); // Remove comments links from admin bar function df_disable_comments_admin_bar() { if (is_admin_bar_showing()) { remove_action('admin_bar_menu', 'wp_admin_bar_comments_menu', 60); } } add_action('init', 'df_disable_comments_admin_bar');but best advice is to use the very good plugin “disable comments” !
but to make it perfect – you have to get rid of .comment-container minor-meta. in post-meta-info !Hello and Thank you for your comments!
Thing is: I want to switch on the comments button. It is not there!
