If I want to disable/enable comments for blog posts (or any other setting): do I have to toggle this setting on each individual post or can I manage this globally?
-> I know you can have presets for new posts, but it's when to make changes when the content is already existing.

Hi,
you can use this code to disable comments on the site:
// Add to existing function.php file // Disable support for comments and trackbacks in post types function df_disable_comments_post_types_support() { $post_types = get_post_types(); foreach ($post_types as $post_type) { if(post_type_supports($post_type, 'comments')) { remove_post_type_support($post_type, 'comments'); remove_post_type_support($post_type, 'trackbacks'); } } } add_action('admin_init', 'df_disable_comments_post_types_support'); // Close comments on the front-end function df_disable_comments_status() { return false; } add_filter('comments_open', 'df_disable_comments_status', 20, 2); add_filter('pings_open', 'df_disable_comments_status', 20, 2); // Hide existing comments function df_disable_comments_hide_existing_comments($comments) { $comments = array(); return $comments; } add_filter('comments_array', 'df_disable_comments_hide_existing_comments', 10, 2); // Remove comments page in menu function df_disable_comments_admin_menu() { remove_menu_page('edit-comments.php'); } add_action('admin_menu', 'df_disable_comments_admin_menu'); // Redirect any user trying to access comments page function df_disable_comments_admin_menu_redirect() { global $pagenow; if ($pagenow === 'edit-comments.php') { wp_redirect(admin_url()); exit; } } add_action('admin_init', 'df_disable_comments_admin_menu_redirect'); // Remove comments metabox from dashboard function df_disable_comments_dashboard() { remove_meta_box('dashboard_recent_comments', 'dashboard', 'normal'); } add_action('admin_init', 'df_disable_comments_dashboard'); // Remove comments links from admin bar function df_disable_comments_admin_bar() { if (is_admin_bar_showing()) { remove_action('admin_bar_menu', 'wp_admin_bar_comments_menu', 60); } } add_action('init', 'df_disable_comments_admin_bar');Add this code to the functions.php of the child theme.
