I have a wordpress blog and wondering how to disable a ratings plugin, and comments on certain pages. Specifically I have an About page I'd like to not have comments on or ratings.
Look in your dashboard under Options - Discussion. There is a checkbox there for "allow people to post comments on the article" Try unchecking that. Also - you can do it in the box on the right in the Write screen. That only affects the one post, though. The only thing you're going to get stuck with though is a 'Comments are closed" line after your posts. If you don't vvant the 'Comments are closed', you'll have to remove that line and it's a simple matter of editing the comments.php file for your theme and replacing "Comments are closed" with a single space to get rid of it. Good luck!
Thanks, I'll give it a try it worked. But I also want to get rid of the catagories (below) and also the date at the top. Any suggestions?
Hello Beaue, Thanks to share good and useful information about disable comments and other wordpress issue.
In header.php you should have something like <?php the_time(); ?>. Delete it and the date should not be desplayed. With categories same as you done with the date....should be sth like <?php wp_list_categories(); ?>...delete and you're done.
Beau's suggestions are fine, except that they are meant to globally affect your website by changing the "Settings -> Discussion" commenting options as well as editing the comments.php file. If you only want to disable comments on certain pages like you mention in your first post, then you have to walk through every page in the admin that you want comments taken down from and untick the box allowing site visitors to comment. That will overwride the global settings that Beau mentioned.
