Hi Friends,
could you please tell me how to disable comments on all my posts and pages.
I don't want to have this feature anymore.
Thank you very much.
Regards,
Karsten
Hi there,
This should help:
https://docs.generatepress.com/article/removing-comments/
As for #2, you can use Bulk Edit to disable them as well.
Let me know if this helps :)
Thank you for your quick response.
Unfortunately I can not disable Comments on my posts.
Today I wrote a new blog post and I don't want to have Comments on this page
Could you please tell me how to disable comments in the dashboard or somewhere else?
Thank you
Hi there,
The article Leo linked to explains the steps necessary in order to disable comments.
Have you gone to "Settings > Discussion" to disable them?
Hi Tom,
yes, the first three standard settings are disabled.
On new posts the comments are now disabled.
Thank you for your help
Karsten
Awesome, on existing posts you need to find the "Discussion" metabox and disable comments.
Alternatively, this plugin will do it all for you: https://wordpress.org/plugins/disable-comments/
Yes, thank you for the very helpful information.
One last Question:
On this page I have deactivated comments and now at the end of the page there is the sentence:
"Kommentare sind geschlossen." (which means comments are closed)
How could I delete this last sentence? I tried everything but I did not find a solution.
Thank you
Karsten
Try this CSS:
p.no-comments {
display: none;
}
Adding CSS: https://docs.generatepress.com/article/adding-css/
Thank you for this CSS.
I don't understand why the Discussion Metabox does not exist in my blog posts anymore.
Could you explain please?
Sounds like the result of #1 here:
https://docs.generatepress.com/article/removing-comments/
These settings are all handled by WordPress itself and GP doesn't interfere or control them.
You can read more about it here:

Thanks for your great support!
No problem :)
