WordPress: How do I hide the comment function?

If you're struggling with a lot of SPAM or don't want to use your website as a blog, you can easily hide comments in Wordpress. We show you how to do this in this practical tip.

Hide WordPress comments for new blog entries

You can completely deactivate the comment function for your blog so that all new posts no longer display a comment field:

1. Go to "Settings" in Wordpress and select the "Discussion" menu item.
2. Uncheck "Allow visitors to comment on new posts". New entries can no longer be commented on.

Remove comment function later

For blog entries already written, you have to deactivate comments manually:

1. Open any post or page from the WordPress menu.
2. Find the box with the heading "Discussion" and uncheck the "Allow comments" option.
