  I am building a website and want to get rid of the “leave a reply” option on any page. How do I do that. I do not want anyone to be able to leave a comment. Is this possible?

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

  Hi there,

  Sure thing! You can change the default comment settings for your site by doing to Settings > Discussion in your site’s dashboard. On that settings page, you can uncheck the box next to “Allow people to post comments on new articles.” That will disable the comment section on all new posts you publish.

  However, that setting won’t make any changes to posts or pages you’ve already published. I’d recommend disabling those comments using the bulk editing steps described here:

  Please let me know if I can do anything more to help with that. :)
