  Hello All, I am trying to disable and completely remove the option of commenting from bristolyogastudio.com. This is not an option in my discussions panel and removing it from screen options does not work either.
  Please Help

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

  This page > Settings > Discussion
  Discussion settings is where you set up defaults for comments.
  http://en.support.wordpress.com/settings/discussion-settings/

  We can also override the default settings and enable or disable future comments on any individual post or page.

  Note: By default, new blogs on WordPress.com will have the Discussion hidden. You can reveal it by clicking on Screen Options http://en.support.wordpress.com/screen-options/ on the top right corner of your Admin page, and checking the box that says Discussion so the module is included. http://en.support.wordpress.com/modules/#list-of-modules

  1) Checking or unchecking things in Screen Options determines what you see or don’t see on that particular dashboard screen, not what you see on the blog.
  2) Allowing or not allowing comments in Settings > Discussion determines what will apply to future posts or pages.
  3) For pages you have already published, you go to Pages > All Pages, click the little square to select all the pages, select Edit from the Bulk Actions pulldown, click Apply, select “Do not allow” from the Comments pulldown, click Update.
