Is there an easy way to turn off comments in WP ?
 

I googled it and saw people going through the code and deleting shit in 7 different spots to do it. I'm not doing that for 40 blogs. Is there an easier way?

I get forty fucking spam comments a day on my main blog.. it's getting old.

Don't these people know that I approve each and everyone of them by hand and they aren't going to get approved?

How about renaming comments.php?

maybe alot of it is being done by bots that don't care as they are going for the power of shear numbers

The easiest thing i can think of is turn off commenting in WP settings and running a simple mysql query to disable comments for existing posts. You'll have to do it for each blog separately though.

Hit me up if you have any questions...

i just run spam karma and NEVER worry about it

in fact, I don't even have to spend ANY time working with comments, spam karma takes care of it all for me

install Akismet and SPam karma.


I get 0 comments and 6000+ uniques a day

What these guys said. Both Akismet and Spam Karma are sitting right there with your other plugins why not turn them on?

Does the Akismet shit that comes with it work?

Admin > Options > Discussion > Allow people to post comments on the article

I'm looking for a way where they arent held in moderation. I don't want them at all.

UPDATE wp_posts SET comment_status = ‘closed’, ping_status = ‘closed’ WHERE comment_status = ‘open’;

If the admin doesn't do it and that doesn't do it, then delete the comments file.
