  Hello.
  How do I turn off the comment stream for an individual post? (http://yogini.wordpress.com/2007/10/11/10-28-2011-the-end-of-astrology-too/) Is this possible?
  The comment stream has taken on a life of it’s own with another person using the site to promote his own viewpoint. I don’t even think the commenters realize that they’re on my blog! I’ve let it go for a while, and now I’ve had enough.
  Thanks for your help.

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  thanks, there no where on the edit page called ‘discussion module’.
  The writing helper only gives the option to copy it as a template.

  Go to screen options on the top right hand corner of your Admin page and activate all the modules there. Then edit the post again and look at the array displayed. It should be as I have listed it above:

  Ah, yes! Thanks. I posted a ‘final’ comment myself….which did appear….how come? Was it because I’m the administrator?

  I was able to leave a test comment on that post which is in Moderation. I’m sorry to say that you it appears that you did not close the comments. Are you sure you clicked “Update” after you disabled these?
