Comments are the best method to interact with your blog's readers and get their feedbacks and suggestions. That's why I always ended up my posts endorsing my visitors to leave their valuable comments. By default, blogger shows comment box on posts and static pages. We can hide comment when we have to create pages like contact page, about page and so on. Below I have listed some common reasons to disable comments in blogger blog.

Reason to disable comments on Blogger:

• If any of your blog posts get older and already received too many comments, then you can stop comments and just show existing comments.
• Static pages like about us, contact us, privacy policy and sitemap pages don’t need comments and so you need to disable comments.
• If you receive too many spam comments then you can disable comments.

So, now let's start the tutorial on how to disable comments in blogger blog.

How to Disable comments on Blogger Posts and Pages:

Using this method you can enable or disable comments on specific blog page or post. You just need to follow the below-mentioned steps:

1. Login to your Blogger account and go to your Blogger blog dashboard.
2. Select pages or posts that you want to disable or enable comments and click edit. (You can also create a new post or page)
   
3. Now you will have your page or post editor.
4. In the right sidebar, you will see page and post settings.
   
5. Now click on options and you will see comment settings for that particular page or post.
