Ryu: Disable comments and make Home page static
-
Hello, read through all comments and support but still not finding answer–or found answer, I thought, but it’s not working on Ryu theme-
1. Want to disable ALL comments and “Reply” –I know to go into comments and discussion uncheck all etc but the comments and “Reply” still shows even after I delete.
2. Want my home page to be static–and perhaps save the Post page (now my home) for when i want to add blog to site (not now). again, tried to go up and down menu, change title, etc.
How can i make home page static? Like Carmen’s (she somehow made her original home page (that you can post to)–her blog.
http://carmenmariamachado.com/She did not upgrade to CSS or custom btw. asked her.
Your quick help would be much appreciated. Thank you!

Hello there,
All WordPress blogs by default have comments open on all Pages and Posts. You can enable and disable comments on free hosted WordPress.com blogs on this page > Settings > Discussion
Discussion settings is where you set up defaults for comments.
http://en.support.wordpress.com/settings/discussion-settings/You can override the default settings and enable or disable future comments on any individual post or page.
http://en.support.wordpress.com/enable-disable-comments/Note: By default, new blogs on WordPress.com will have the Discussion hidden. You can reveal it by clicking on Screen Options http://en.support.wordpress.com/screen-options/ on the top right corner of your Admin page, and checking the box that says Discussion so the module is included. http://en.support.wordpress.com/modules/#list-of-modules

By default the front page of your blog displays all published posts (not pages) in reverse chronological order, with the most recently published post on top. That is for the convenience of your returning visitors, who come to read your latest post, and who are not likely to be happy with being compelled to click through the same static page with the same blah, blah, blah on it every time they visit the blog looking for the latest post.
However, if you do not want all the posts to show on the front page, then you can create a static front page called for example “Welcome” for your site and a “Blog” page for posts. To do that create two pages first http://en.support.wordpress.com/pages/
After you do that you go to > Settings > Reading and make the designation change and click “save changes”.

Comments: Did all that timethief, esp the obvious– disable comments boxes–yet still seeing this :
http://maryvangelis.wordpress.com/office/I don’t want any Replies or Comments left. This site is not meant to be a blog. I see the “Discussion” option in my dashboard quite clearly and NO boxes are checked off.
Thanks for your quick reply though. You’re great. Now what?

Nope. Go to a Page, Edit, screen options UNCHECK ALL–yet damn replies and comment options still show up. even though boxes unchecked.

if you have a quick answer for this Timethief I’d appreciate:
My Management page, when you click doesn’t give an option. Which is perfect. I just want to use it as a label for options below.
want my Content Solutions to do the same.
http://maryvangelis.wordpress.com/however it goes to the page instead. tried to tinker around with menu/settings/naming, etc. to no avail. quick solution, if any?
thank you, again.

What’s weird is I’m not getting the option to redirect the URL above the Navigation bar (when editing in Menu)–which would solve the problem above (by inserting “#” in redirect URL).
