  Hi Clive,

  If you want to disable comments on all pages/posts, please go to Pages > All pages (or Posts > All Posts) in your Dashboard. Then select all pages/posts by checking the box left of “Title”. Then, go to the drop down menu labeled “Bulk Actions” and select “Edit”. Click on “Apply”, and you will see another dropdown menu next to “Comments”. Select “Do Not Allow”, and click “Update”.

  This should disable Comments on all the pages/posts you checked off.

  Let me know if you have any questions with this!

  Hi Grace,

  I don’t want to disable comments, I want to disable embedding of images, tweets and videos within comments as I stated within my original question.

  There used to be an option to prevent embedding within comments, but it is no longer available.

  Cheers,
  Clive

  I spoke with our team and It is not possible to disable that. However, what you can do is edit the comment so it doesn’t auto-embed. If you make it so that it’s not the only thing on a line it will not embed automatically. You could also wrap a single-line embed in a link.
