    How do I set my posts to automatically close the comment section after a certain amount of time?

    And, related to that, how do I close the comments on old posts? I tried going to Advanced Options and unclicking “allow comments” but then when I went to look at my blog, the six comments that had been on that post previously had disappeared, along with the “leave a comment” area. Fortunately when I went back and reclicked “allow comments” the old comments showed up again.

    Thank you,

    If the comments disappear when you check the box, then that is the way the theme is designed. I personally think it is a design flaw – so I suggest you contact support and ask them to change it so that previous comments still display.

    We now have the option to close comments automatically. Go to settings>discussion and look at the 3rd item under Other Comment Settings.
