I am sure that I missed this somewhere, but I am not seeing an option to turn off comments on pages only. I of course want to have comments on posts, but not pages. I looked at the parent BB theme and did not see this listed. I am sure I need to put a custom page.php file in my child directory (as modifying the parent would get overwritten with updates), but looking at the parent it is even called in with functions so that would inject still. I am sure that I am missing something. Would be a nice feature in the customizer directly.
Hey David! Thanks for reaching out with your question! Unfortunately, you’re not missing anything. There’s no way to disable comments from within Beaver Builder. You could do this from your child theme, or you can try out this plugin to disable them global for any post type: https://wordpress.org/plugins/disable-comments/
Hope that works for ya!
I actually used this plugin as it is easier to get granular and it is working very well.
Oh, okay! Good to know! I’ll give it a try and probably start recommending it over the other one. Glad the plugin solution is going to work for ya!
This is an older thread, but it’s the most recent one my search results pulled up for “Turn Off Comments.” I have seen a number of similar questions in the forums, asking for a universal setting, etc. In case someone didn’t know, I wanted to share what I do. Maybe it will solve a few people’s issues without having to add another plugin.
In Wordpress, go to Pages. Then you can do one of at least two things:
-
Click Quick Edit next to the page you are interested in changing Comments options for. The check or uncheck the box that says Allow Comments.
-
Select as many pages as you want (or just click the top box to select all), and in the drop down at the top (or bottom) choose Edit, then Apply. You will be presented with a handful of options you can apply to all of the pages. Under Comments, click on Allow or Don’t Allow, then Update.
Either one of these will add or remove comments from any or all pages you choose.
Hope that helps someone.
Thanks for the tip, Daniel!
Since page comments will be off by default in 4.3 this should be a non-issue YEAH!!
You’re awesome Daniel! The ‘comments’ were driving me nuts and your solution is simple. Thanks a million.
