Can't Disable Comments
-
The “Screen Options” does NOT show up on the “Discussion Settings” page, it only shows up on the “Dashboard”, hence I can NOT disable Comments.
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Hi there,
Are you trying to disable comments on a specific page? If so, you’ll need to visit the Screen Options setting from the Edit Page screen, not from the Discussion Settings. For example, when you’re on the following page, you should see the correct menu:
https://rhk111smilitaryandarmspage.wordpress.com/wp-admin/post.php?post=1&action=edit
The menu should look like this:
In order to deactivate comments, just make sure the “Discussion” box is checked there. That will open up the comment options for that page.
Please let me know if you need anything else!

In order to do that, you’ll want to change your default Discussion setting here:
https://rhk111smilitaryandarmspage.wordpress.com/wp-admin/options-discussion.php
Just deselect the option for “Allow people to post comments on new articles” and save the changes. This means that for new posts you create, comments will be disabled by default. However, you’ll still need to manually remove comments from new and old pages as well as for old posts.
Here are instructions on bulk disabling comments on old posts:

You can use the same tactic for disabling comments on previously published pages.
Please let me know if you need anything else!
