Hi guys,

I am moving my site from Newsmag to Newspaper and adding a lot of new content, some of which has new requirements. I have worked out how to disable ads for posts in specific categories, but I would also like to disable comments for specific categories. Is this possible with some custom CSS?

Many thanks,

stuart

Hi,
You can modify the theme files for this as the re is no setting that can provide this kind of feature. You ned to edit the post template files and make the modification for each post template you use. Then you can use this function https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/functions/in_category/ and add a condition to the comments template in the loop-single files here: http://screencast.com/t/79gc8poMEo
I hope this helps.
Thanks.
