Ghost in the Shell: Fighting off comments!

Well I've had highs and lows with hiding post comments.  Several plugins failed to do the job and now I've pulled another and added a new one that seems to have 5 star reviews and about 7K downloads which is promising.


This one is called One Click Close Comments and it lives up to it's name.  Install this plugin and look at the "Posts" section. Click on "All Posts" and see that the plugin has placed a small red or green dot in the info about each post. Simply click on this and status will change. Green means comments are GO and red means comments are CLOSED.

Then check your post pages. A default message of "Comments are Closed" will appear.

Now go into the "Appearances" section. Click on "Editor". Go here only if you know what you are doing. Make sure site is backed up before you make any changes.  Look for <p></P> with "Comments are closed." message. Simply remove message! Don't change anything else. This time comments have vanished without leaving a trace and that's something worth celebrating.
