Don’t allow comments to blog posts

Gday, I’m trying to delete the code in my site to not allow comments to my blog posts. This is my site http://www.vigourdynamicfitness.com.au…..who knows how to do?

Thanks but I’m confused by this…not sure where I would need to put this code:
UPDATE wp_posts SET comment_status = ‘closed’;
Which php file?

functions.php i guess

Or you can find your single.php file and take out the code for the comments.

I do three things to make sure they are all the way removed. First I go to the Wp settings and turn commenting off, then go to comments.php and remove everything from that file except the first comment. Then I search and remove everywhere is calls for the comments;

This is the string I search for: ” <php comments_popup_link “

Then there is no way for comments to ever show and there is no way anyone can try to comment. I would only do it this way if you are for sure you never want comments on your wp site, even int he future.
