Basic WordPress can handle that for you, just uncheck the Enable Comments option on any post in the Discussion section. Check out this discussion for a few other options: http://wordpress.org/support/topic/turn-off-comments-on-pages-by-default.

I hope this answers your question.

How do I disable comments on posts (using thesis theme) ?

Yes, it’s much easier in 1.7. You don’t have to touch any code.

Check out my latest post on the subject about how to remove the comments are closed text in Thesis 1.7 (and beyond.)

[...] how to remove the default Comments Are Closed text manually (touching template code, horror!) I recently got a comment on the post asking how to do it in version 1.7 and beyond. I guess I had written the original post so long ago [...]

Any idea how this works on Thesis 1.7? The above code is not even in the comments.php code. Any help is appreciated!

Submitted on 2009/12/02 at 10:16pm Hi, thanks for the feedback. It wasn’t designed to work on posts since most of the time I would prefer to notify readers that comments are closed , but if you needed it to work for posts too.

First, you could decide if you ever need it to appear at all, if not just remove the entire first code section above: the whole if-statement, including the curly braces. That way it won’t ever display the text in any case.

If you should only want to prevent it on posts, you can just substitute && !is_post() for the text in red above.

Let me know if that doesn’t work for you!

Hi, I tried your code, but it doesn’t seem to work for post pages, only for the “home” page, any ideas? I’ve tried custom css with no joy. James
