Toggling comments on/off

In the "ProPhoto > Settings > Site Settings > Comments" settings area, a single option can enable or disable commenting for all posts and pages on your site.

If comments are enabled in "ProPhoto > Settings > Site Settings > Comments", you can disable comment fields on a per-post or per-page basis in the WordPress block editor. Look for the Discussion option in the Post settings.

NOTE: This will only show/hide the fields where visitors add new comments. To hide existing comments, you must delete them from WordPress.

If you have several posts/pages that you would like to change the "Allow comments" option for, select them in the "Posts > All Posts" or "Pages > All Pages" area.

Then, choose Edit from the Bulk Actions dropdown and click Apply.

Last, make your selection from the Comments dropdown, and click to Update.

Again, if any posts/pages already have comments from visitors, the comments will still be seen. You must manually delete comments to remove them from being seen.

WordPress provides an option under "Settings > Discussion" whereby you can turn off the ability to comment once a post or page reaches a certain age.

NOTE: When commenting closes, all previously entered comments will still be visible. It's just that new comments will not be possible.

If you want to hide comments only on your blog page, but leave them available on the individual blog posts themselves, CSS code can be used to override the normal behavior. Copy this code to your clipboard:

body.blog .article-comments {display: none;}

Then go to the "ProPhoto > Settings > Advanced > Custom Code" settings area, and paste it into the Site-wide custom CSS field.
