      I seem to remember from playing around with it aeons ago that there is an option somewhere in preferences. According to this site, you just do this:

      Code:
      In the Wordpress admin view go to Options>Discussion and Uncheck ?Allow people to post comments on the article?. This blocks comments on future posts.

              Easy way:

              Enter in Address bar, can't find a way to access this from the admin:

              http://www.yourdomain.com/wp-admin/options.php

              change "default_comment_status" to "closed" (without quotes of course)...works like a charm.

                  and that is easier and works better than just going into the options liked mentioned above (can't believe I missed that)?
