    Hi,
    We have the Quiz comment box turned on, but is there a way to turn off the WordPress comments? Right now we have both and it’s not really good to have both of them.
    Thanks

    Hi David,

    Please refer to this article for turning off WP comments: https://premium.wpmudev.org/blog/wordpress-comments-off/

    Yeah, none of those really did the job since I don’t want to turn the comments off completely – just for that page and there is no way to “edit the page” which exposes the comment_status field. I ended up taking the quiz name as “slug” and going into the database and looking in wp_posts where the post_name is equal to that slug. Then I changed the value of the comment_status field to “closed”. If I go to the quiz in QSM and click on the publishing status link, I can see that certain WordPress values for the post about publishing are exposed there. It would be good if the plugin were modified to allow one to turn off the WordPress comments on that page so that you didn’t have to go into the database to do it. Thanks!

    Hi,

    Turning off the WP comments depends on the user to user requirements. It is not advisable to disable WP comments if the quizz’s shortcode is enabled on that page. Because some users want them and some don’t.

    Kind Regards,
    Kriti

    Exactly, some users want them and some don’t so don’t assume that no one wants them and not give us the option. I’m only asking that the OPTION be available. And it’s not now.

    Ok, I will pass it as the feature request to the development team and they will try to release it in the future updates.
