Comments disabled on all posts and pages, but still appear on some posts
-
I’ve gone through all the steps for disabling comments on all posts and pages (my blog is serving as a website and I’m not interested in allowing comments anywhere on my site except in a form I’ve created for the purpose of communicating with me). I’ve followed every instruction in every part of the dashboard, but several of my posts–they happen to be image galleries–still show the comment feature when you open up the image slider. I’m beside myself… someone help.

At this time, there is no way to remove comments on the Carousel view. For now, I recommend unchecking “Display images in full-size carousel slideshow.” at Settings -> Media in your blog’s Dashboard.

Dear macmanx,
Thanks for your swift reply. If what you say is indeed the case, then something is amiss with my site, because most of my galleries do not show the comments in Carousel View (I prefer comments to be disabled for all of them). Is this because I inadvertantly created some of these galleries originally with “Comments” enabled, and others with them “disabled.” If I were to delete, and then recreate the gallery in a new post, making sure to disable comments, would the new Carousel View then be comment-free?
Thanks for your continued assistance,

Would you please give me a link to gallery that is not displaying comments for you, and a link to a gallery that is?

Certainly!
Here’s one that displays comments:

Yes, it looks like the new default is being applied to newly uploaded images, but there is still no way to change it on existing images.
So, unfortunately, the only way to make that change at the moment would be to re-upload the images and recreate the galleries.

Hello again, macmanx
We communicated last week about problems with disabling comments in Carousel View. As you suggested, I attempted to recreate all the affected galleries, to no avail (in fact, I deleted the orginal posts and reposted the content). They appear just as they did before, with comments enabled in the Carousel View, this despite having “disabled comments” when making the new posts.I would REALLY like to eliminate comments from all my image carousels. Is there not ANYTHING anyone can do to help me acheive this. And I don’t want to uncheck “Display images in full-size carousel slideshow” because the slideshows are essential to the design of my site.
I’m open to suggestions. I’m hoping WordPress can work with me on this.
Thanks

Dear macmanx,
Please disregard my last message. I figured out the issue: I actually need to go to the media file for each image included in the carousel and make sure to uncheck “allow comments.” That seems to solve the issue.
My apologies for the false alarm.
