I want to Completely Remove Comment Field
-
Hi Everyone,
I want to completely remove the comment field from my wordpress blog. Does anyone know how to do this?
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)
-
Go to settings > discussion and disallow commenting. That will disable commenting and remove the comment boxes from all future pages and posts.

Next, you will have to bulk edit any existing pages and posts and turn comments off for those.

Thank you but I don’t see a disallow commenting option under the discussion tab. Where else could this be?
-
It is near the top under default article settings: “Allow people to post comments on new articles” – deselect that and save your changes.

You have to complete both steps I’ve outlined. The change at settings > discussion, as I stated is only for future pages and posts.
All existing pages and posts must be bulk edited and the comments turned off for them.

Thanks, but I did that, I deselected that option and even went and turned off the comment option for the posts and pages, but the leave a reply comment is still showing.
Is there an actual wordpress support email or contact I can reach out to directly? It looks like that support option is unavailable while they’re upgrading stuff.

I’m not sure what you are doing, but I just accomplished this with the two steps I outlined above in Triton Lite on my test blog without issue.
I’ll tag this for staff attention and perhaps they will go into your blog and do it for you.

Comments are still enabled on the individual post.
Try following this guide to disable comments on specific posts: http://en.support.wordpress.com/enable-disable-comments/

Just adding a note, the method provided by thesacredpath will still work. His is the bulk editing method, and the method I linked to is for single posts.
