Post: Commenting auto-activated

  • Hello Support !

    I have a more than a handful of posts
    on my site (posts, not pages) with
    enabled commenting.

    However, when I go into the backend
    of those posts I no longer see the
    option to toggle commenting on and off.

    Likewise, when I create a post (not a page)
    that should not have commenting enabled,
    it turns out that commenting is enabled.

    I suspect I need to make a change in
    one of the settings.

  • Hi there,

    in the post admin view, if you Quick Edit a post, do you see the option to: Allow Comments there ?

    Hi David,

    I have no idea what Quick Edit means.
    Is that an option somewhere? I can’t find it.

  • In the Admin > Posts view , hover over a post title to see the extra options.
    See here:

    Oh, of course, Quick Edit as
    an option when all posts are listed.

    Got it. Thanks, David.

    Ok, does that mean that enabling
    and disabling commenting can only
    be done via Quick Edit?

  • It should still show in the editor.
    But WP does have its odd quirks.
    What version of WordPress are you running?
    As in WP 6.6.1 those options are visible but they are using a new layout in the editor see here:

    Oh, WP moved it.
    I did not figure that out.

    Thanks, David !

  • Yeah that latest update really shook up the UI.
    Glad to be of help!
