One of the unique features of a blog, as compared to a standard website, is that a blog allows the reader to post comments about what they have read.

But what if you don’t want people leaving comments?  How do you prevent that?

It is a very simple process.  To disable comment on the whole site go to your WP Dashboard and go to Settings>Discussion>Default Article Settings.  Make sure the “Allow people to post comments on new articles” is unchecked.

Next go to “Other comment settings” and check the box called “Automatically close comments on articles older than x days”  Set this to 1 day.

Then scroll down to the bottom of the page and click “Save Changes”  and you are done!

You can also close comments for a specific post.  Open your post and in the Visual Editor and scroll down to Discussion and uncheck  “Allow comments” and “Allow trackbacks and pingbacks on this page.”  When you are done writing or editing your post click Publish or Update and comments for that post are disabled.
