  Hi! If you’re looking to disable comments on all future posts going forward, do the following:

  1. Navigate to the Settings > Discussion section of your WordPress Dashboard
  2. Uncheck the option “Allow people to submit comments on new posts”

  If you also need to remove comments from all posts (including previous ones before making the change above) do the following:

  1. Navigate to Posts > All Posts in the WordPress Dashboard
  2. Select (via checkboxes) the posts you would like to remove comments from
  3. Then click on the Bulk Actions dropdown element
  4. Select the Edit option from the menu, then click Apply
  5. You will be shown a new “Bulk Edit”. Here you want to select the Comments dropdown option and select Do not allow
  6. Click Update to save changes

  Let me know how that goes for you or if you hit any snags along the way :)
