Disable comment on post type

I'm using a plugin from cminds to provide a FAQ section on my website.

The FAQ pages are based on a Post and so inherit the fact I am happy to accept comments on my blog.

However, I don't want comments on my FAQ entries, so want to turn it off.

I don't see a way in the default WP setup to do this but found a Disable Comments plugin.

This works perfectly as it recognises that the FAQ page is different from a blog post, but it's just another plugin in an ever-growing list.

Can I achieve this using Generate Press?

Hi there,

that a core WP Function, if you edit a post, under the Discussions meta box you have the option to Disable Comments.

Hi, thanks for the reply, however, I have 100's of FAQ entries and it would require me to go through them all - which I don't want to do.

The plugin I mentioned lets me do it in 1 click, so I'm guessing there is something behind the scenes that could be set with a bit of code?

You can Bulk Edit a list of posts and disable them comments that way.
But it sounds to me the plugin you have is the best solution.

ok thanks

You're welcome
