This is a very common question i have been asked lately. Specially because of the Seo Facebook Comments Plugin.
Which many people don’t know is that you can easily disable a comment for a specific post or page by changing a configuration on the edit page of this post or page.
All you have to do is, first, check if the option is available, it suposed to be bellow the main post content box. If it is not there you have click on the button Screen Options on your upper right screen of the WordPress Admin, it is suposed to be right bellow your username, next to the Help button.
Once you clicked it will scroll down many options, make sure the option Discussion is checked, it probably won’t, so check it and scroll the option panel up again.
Now go back, bellow to the main content post, and now you will see a metabox called, of course, DISCUSSION. There are two checkboxes inside it Allow Comments and Allow Trackbacks and Pingbacks on this Page.
Now just uncheck both those boxes and save the post, that’s all, you just disabled the comments for the page/post that you wanted. Easy huh?
However, you might want more control over the WordPress commenting system. In this case, you should check out the Silencer Comment Management Plugin for WordPress
