  Dear WordPress team,

  I have an issue with the comments interface at the bottom of a page. I would like to turn off the comments completely and do not display the interface at the bottom of the pages for the entire website.

  Unfortunately I could not find such a setting in the options menus. Could you please advise me on how to get rid of the comments interface?

  I´m working on the following website
  https://pguestscienceditingsolutions.wordpress.com

  I´m using the following theme:
  Theme: Big Brother

  Thank you a lot in advance.

  Best,
  Frieder

  Hi there. To disable comments for all new posts and pages, go to Setting ->Discussion in the dashboard and uncheck the box next to “Allow users to post comments on new articles”: http://en.support.wordpress.com/settings/discussion-settings/

  For existing posts and pages, go to Posts ->All Posts and Pages ->All Pages respectively. Select all posts/pages. Click on the Bulk Actions menu at the top and select Edit. Click apply. Look for the comments area and switch it to Do Not Allow. (You might want to do that for Pings as well.) Click on update.

  If your All Posts list stretches over multiple pages, continue this for each page. http://en.support.wordpress.com/enable-disable-comments/#bulk-editing-comments

  Brilliant! Thank you for the advice.

  I had unchecked the tick box “Allow users to post comments on new articles” already, but the second part of your post was really the option I had overseen beforehand.
