How do I remove comments from my Home Page

Hi Peter, You should be able to disable comments on that page following these steps: https://www.wpbeginner.com/wp-tutorials/how-to-completely-disable-comments-in-wordpress/#disable-comments-on-a-specific-page-or-post

Shawn, Thanks very much for your patience and help. Still having trouble getting rid of the comments on the Home Page of www.thenarcissistinyourlife.com. My wife  is a psychotherapist and I do this website for her. I downloaded the Gutenberg Plug In but it only has 2 stars and there is a warning that it hasn't been tested with my version of Word Press which I believe is 5.2. and thus I am afraid to use it. I was able to get to the  "discussions" section but the Allow Comments was already unchecked. It is important to get the Comments removed form the Home Page. Please let me know if you have any further suggestions as to how this can be accomplished. Thanks, Peter

Hi Peter, That may have actually been a step too far. The correct course would have been to upgrade the site to the latest version of WordPress (5.2), instead of installing the Gutenberg plugin. That plugin only exists for testing NEW functions and features. When those features are complete, they're automatically rolled into WordPress core. So, the latest version of WordPress already has Gutenberg built-in. I would uninstall and delete the Gutenberg plugin, then double-check that the WordPress site itself is up-to-date, running version 5.2 of WordPress. BUT, this has nothing to do with your actual issue. It's just ensuring you're on the latest version of WordPress. Back to your issue, which is how to disable—and hide—comments on that page. I see that the homepage on that site says, “Comments are closed.” at the bottom. That means that you've correctly disabled comments—for future commenters. But, all the previous comments are still shown. The only way to hide those comments is to manually delete each one. When you've deleted ALL the comments on the homepage, you'll no longer see those comments—OR the “Comments are closed.” notice. It will just be a clean homepage, with no comments. If you're logged into the site as an administrator, you should see a little “Edit” link next to each comment on the homepage. Click that link, and you can delete that comment. Repeat for each comment on the page. When you're done, you should be set!

Shawn, You have been terrific. I was able to delete all 17 comments individually from the Home Page. Thanks very much. Peter
