stopping photo comments
-
Is there any way short of displaying photos as media file or none, to stop comments after a certain time frame?
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Hey albedoarlee,
You can control the comments from the post editor. There is a checkbox to allow comments for each post.
You can uncheck it when you don’t want people to comment.
Please check this screenshot. https://prnt.sc/irv28r
I hope this helps.

Hi there,
To disable comments on the image attachment pages and the gallery carousel you’ll need to edit the images from the WP-Admin dashboard here:
https://albedoarlee2.wordpress.com/wp-admin/upload.php?mode=list
To have them disabled by default you’ll need to disable comments for your site at My Site ->Settings ->Discussion. That will disable them for new posts as well, but you can turn them back on per-post in the editor. Changing that setting won’t affect posts and images that are already on your site.

So, in other words, i can’t edit each photo posted for no comments: the only way to have no comments on photos is to set the display as “media file” or “none”–because i see no option on the list to stop comments *anywhere* on photos, singly or separately.

So, in other words, i can’t edit each photo posted for no comments:
That is the exact opposite of what I said above. I said you have to edit each image individually to turn off comments for the images already on your site.
Go to the link I gave above, and click the Edit link on any image, for example https://albedoarlee2.wordpress.com/wp-admin/post.php?post=3722&action=edit
You’ll see a checkbox to enable or disable comments in the Discussion section there.
For new images you have a choice: either disable comment by default and only enable them on specific posts where you want them, or keep them enabled in which case you’ll need to manually disable them for each new image you upload.

Ok, it would have helped if i had been informed that the “screen options” toolbar has to be open first for that……
Thank you, can now “fix”.

nope, no joy, comment section still comes up, even after updating –never mind, i give up.

On what image are you still seeing the comments option? You need to disable this for every individual image in your library separately. Disabling comments for one image does not disable it for all.
