In order to turn off comments: Log in, go to that page and click edit (or find the page in the dashboard), find the box called “discussion” and un-check both check boxes. If you can’t find that box, look up at the top and click on “Screen Options” and make sure everything is checked. See below:
Also, under Settings>Discussion you can have the comments for posts turn off after a certain number of days, which can come in handy if you forget to go back and turn them off after the initial surge of visitors has ended.
I hope these WordPress tips has helped you. Please let me know what you think in the comment section below.
