This page has comments, but I'd like to turn them off for this post type entirely.

What is the link to your site?

Hi,

Thank you for contacting us and I'd be happy to assist.

To disable comments from new and existing posts in a particular post type, you can follow these steps:

1. Please make sure that the "Comments" option is enabled in that post type's settings.

2. Next, go to the post list of this post type in the admin area, and use bulk edit option to set comments to "Do not allow" for all existing posts.

3. Once comments have been disabled for all existing posts, you can disable the comment option for this post type that was mentioned in step 1, so that they can't be turned on for future posts.

I hope this helps and please let me know if you need any further assistance around this.

regards,
Waqar
