    I was wondering if it was possible to remove the comments box from a particular post? lets say i have posts; 1,2,3,4 and I only wanted post 1 and 4 to have comments on them. Is hat possible?

    Would I create a page/post template that just didnt have the comments code and then in WP-admin when writting a post I just choose no comment template?

    am I close? lol

    Cheers :roll:

    You are right. Go to the single.php file, and remove

    <?php comments_template(); ?>


    and add

    <?php
    /*
    Template Name: No Comments Post 
    */
    ?>


    to the top. I think that should do it

    Within the wordpress admin section, each post has the option to turn off comments.

    Thanks! Just updated to WP 7. Great that I can do it from the quick edit.

    Thanks for your help. And the code option too
