Method#4: Disable Comments on your WordPress Media
When you upload media files to your website, WordPress automatically creates individual pages. On these pages, you’ll receive comments just like a regular post or page. To disable comments on media files you can adopt 2 easy steps;
From your WordPress admin area, go to Media > Library
- Click the media file you want to Edit
- Select Edit more details in the right panel.
- Under the Discussion section, uncheck the box next to Allow comments.
- In the Save section, click Update
If you have multiple media attachments on your site, this can take time. So this option is less effective for sites that have large media libraries.
To quickly disable comments on all media at once you have another option of code.
Note: keep in mind, that incorrectly adding code snippets to themes can damage your sites. To be safe, make sure to create a backup to save your site from data loss. Create a child theme to save the parent theme’s settings
- To find the PHP file in your WordPress, go to Appearance > Theme Editor
2. Select php on the right
- Copy & paste the following code at the bottom of the file:
function disable_media_comment( $open, $post_id ) {
$post = get_post( $post_id );
if( $post->post_type == 'attachment' ) {
return false;
}
return $open;
}
add_filter( 'comments_open', 'disable_media_comment', 10 , 2 );
- Click Update File to save the changes
