Disable Comments on all or multiple posts

If you need to disable comments on multiple posts on the website, then going into each and every post one after the other is probably not a very efficient method.

1. In the Admin UI, click on Posts and then click on All Posts
2. Select all the posts that you want to disable the comments
3. Pull down the drop down menu that says Bulk Actions and select Edit
4. Click Apply
5. A set of options are shown that includes Comments and Pings
6. Select the Do not Allow option from the dropdown for Comments
7. Optionally, also select the Do not Allow option for Pings
8. Click Update button to save the settings
