disable comments

Hi there,

This is controlled by WordPress.

Give this a shot:
https://docs.generatepress.com/article/removing-comments/

Yeah I've read that.

I would have to go into EVERY page and EVERY post in my blog and manually do it as per option 2.

I was hoping there would be some switch or I could cut out the code in Generatepress without having to install a plugin.

A plugin will do it immediately, but i want to keep plugin use to a minimum unless it is absolutely neccessary...

Have you tried using Bulk Actions > Edit?

Ok that worked.

Cheers.

No problem :)
